To the Zoo in June

We finally made it to the zoo this summer and got to see the new baby giraffe and the two new lion cubs. We also got to feed the giraffe's again, pick out a new stuffed animal to bring home and ride the carousel. Then we came home to beat the heat and enjoyed another showing of Zootopia while sipping on popsicles. We are loving these summer days.

Summering

Oh, we've just been busy summering (yes that's a word). How about you?

Goodbye Spring Soccer

Another soccer season come and gone ending with trophies for both of our little soccer players!  

A Dance Wow-er!

This girl worked her little keester off last week at the dance auditions.  Auditions we closed, so I couldn't take any pics but we decided to stop by on Sunday and check out the results. We were both a little nervous, but to our surprise this little girl wow-ed the judges and got chosen for not one, but two teams!  

She's a new member of the Starstruck Hiphop team.

And a new member of the Starburst Jazz team

Way to go baby girl!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a very fun Memorial Day weekend here. We started it off with heading to Price to attend two graduation parties.  The first for Andrew, our "sorta" nephew.

And the second for our nephew Taylor: 

And as if that wasn't enough partying, we also partied it up for our niece's birthday and had a painting party with her and a few of her friends. 

Then we partied some more by having two late nights of playing cards and hanging out with the fam.

We also managed to make it to the cemetery for our yearly flower placements and snuck in one last craft before we headed home. 

What a great long weekend.  It was hard to get back to the grind upon returning home. 

Goodbye School Year

 This year came and went by so quickly. It has been a bitter-sweet ending to a great school year. This girl loves these preschool teachers of hers so much that she also signed up for the summer program so she didn't have to be without them too long over the summer.

My not-so little boy is off to Jr. High in the fall.  Where does the time go? I made him pose for a last day of elementary school ever pic with me.  

 And then another annoying pic when he was awarded the Presidential Award for Academic Excellence.

The twins finished 2nd grade and I guess I'll let them move onto 3rd even if they wouldn't let me take any last day of school pics.   ;)
