Oh, What Do You Do In The Summertime?

Well, for starters, you give yourself a migraine trying to keep up with everything that has gone on in the last few weeks! We've had at least 3 weeks where I had to be at the school almost everyday for some program, awards thing, talent show, meeting, etc. I AM glad that school is out for that one reason - I don't have to show up at the school for a couple of months! We've been busy, so keep scrolling down to see all that's happened at our house:

Abby - receiving her "diploma" and graduating from 6th grade....Brenna and I were laughing so hard because the entire program was reminiscent of our high school graduation. Two hours long, awards, singing, slide show, diplomas....seriously, who knew 6th grade was such a big deal? Family Reunion in Enterprise, Utah on Memorial Day Weekend: We girls had a blast, and Kim and Jake stayed home to play baseball. The weather was a bit temper mental so we were extra glad that our version of camping included the Sleep E Motel in Enterprise! Here's the old ladies table where we learned how to crotch-et (ha, ha aunt cheryl) and make cute balloon flip flop and ate chex mix until we about threw up! Emily at the craft table with her well painted ceramics that Grandma brought for the kids. She left a trail of paint behind her, but dang those frogs were cute and kept her attention for quite some time! Natalie with her new friend, Rusty...she was missing her own dog, Buddy the Wonder Dog, so she clung to poor Rusty for 3 days! Emily and Mrs. Clark - Second Grade, Here She Comes!

Jake with Mrs. Phillips - On to 5th Grade!

Abby with Miss Hill and Mrs. Pike - Goodbye 6th Grade, Hello Jr. High!
