Trip to Grandma Suzy's house!

It's always fun to take a road trip during the summer and Grandma Suzy is kind enough to let us come and invade her house with our craziness. I love packing up all my kids, loading up on snacks and games for the car, and traveling somewhere fun. I think one reason I love it so much is because I watched my mom do it every summer and I have wonderful memories of those road trips.

Mom would give each of us a tupperware full of snacks we could eat throughout the day and that's definitely the way to do it!

We had a fun Cedar City bucket list. We wanted to go to the splash pad in St. George, go for walks, play at the river park, and have movie nights with popcorn. Mom and I even got to go to the Cedar City temple together. 

We had a such a great time on our trip! 

School's Out!

We are super excited that school is out for the summer! The last day of school we celebrated by picking the kids up in the "party bus" and heading to the mall for lunch and a scavenger hunt. We had plans to go to the park but it won't stop raining! We had a lot of fun with the scavenger hunt and used our pass to the mall aquarium too. 

We made some fun goals and plans for the summer and have already started on our bucket list, which of course involves a lot of snow cones. 

The kids started swim lessons the week after school got out. Yay!

Our family service project for June was yet another scavenger hunt. We went around the neighborhood doing little acts of service for FHE and that was fun. I'm really excited for this summer! 

Fun in May

Susie and Braden have had fun with sports this last month. Susie finished her first season of soccer and loved it! She's played softball for the last 2 years but I think she liked soccer better. 

This is Braden's first year trying out a sport. He is doing baseball and is having lots of fun with it. I think his favorite part is the caprisun and rice krispie treat they pass out after the games haha. He has a hard time getting the batting helmet over his ears without messing up his glasses and sometimes he walks from base to base but he's learning. 

We had fun visitors for Memorial Day, Grandma Suzy and Aunt Livy the birthday girl. We went to the Kaysville Cemetery and found our ancestors tombstone, Elias Adams. That was really neat. We had fun at the mall and hanging out at home. 

Other May happenings:

We've been to the park a few times enjoying the Spring weather (even though it has rained most of the month!) 

We've been sick a lot too. Braden had an sinus and ear infection and Clark had an ear infection the next week. 

I got to go on a fun kindergarten field trip with Braden to the Ogden nature center. 

We celebrated Mother's Day!

We have been grilling a lot more, too. Yum! 

We are excited for the summer!
