May

Here we are in May now.  May is so busy.

We had band concerts.

Joshua did a great job!

We raced and Leah PRd her 5k!

Leah was inducted into National Honor Society

Leah had an undefeated soccer season.

It was fun to see her grow as a player.

Evan had a great season.  He scored several goals.

We set up a pool. It was Michael's birthday present.  He has been enjoying it with the kids

We ran a race with all the kids.  Aaron prd his 5k!

I am ambassador for a race company so I get a fun yellow shirt to wear and promote the race.  

Aaron had a great soccer season.  He scored a few goals and is better playing a position.

I love watching my kids.  

Leah also had an orchestra concert.  She did great and made Honors orchestra next year!  

 

April

We had visit from the Websters.  It was so fun to have them come and hang out with us!

Websters took us out for barbecue.  It was delicious.  I did laugh at Aarons choices though.  

The kids had a good time playing games.

We went downtown to enjoy the eclipse.

This picture doesn't do justice but it was pretty amazing to see the eclipse.  I loved witnessing it in a group atmosphere.  People's excitement was so catching.

My Grandpa passed away.  It is nice he can be with my Grandma.  We had whirlwind trip to the funeral and say hi to family.  It was good to see everyone and I am missing my grandpa.  

Evan did the instrument drive to pick an instrument for next year.  He picked the tuba!  We have the low brass covered in this family.

We have been doing quite a bit of archery.  The kids have been enjoying it. 

Joshua made it to World Championship robotics.  It was so amazing, and I am so proud.  

They did a great job, they didn't advance to finals but they had a great season!  It was fun to watch them use google translate to try and speak with alliances from other countries.  It was an amazing experience.  He hopes to repeat next year!

 

March

Track season was in full swing.  Dallin has been working so hard in this meet he finally broke 5 min.  It is so fun to watch him work hard achieve goals.

Happy Easter!  We are so glad for our Savior and that His Risen!  

We had some Easter Egg hunts with the primary.

Leah had a great season.  She ended up just off the podium in City finals in the 800 and 1600.

I was so impressed with her progress.  She has been keeping up the good work.

Dallin had a great track season and was awarded hardest worker!

We celebrated my Mom's Birthday and Easter at the park.

We had a fun Easter Egg hunt and yummy food.

We had a great Easter Sunday!  

My mom is the best and I am so glad she is here with us.

 

February Evan's Birthday and State Robotics

Evan had a great time at State Robotics!  He had great season.  They even made it to the finals.

They won an award as well.  I will miss this little robotics team next year!

Evan had Birthday.  He wanted to play football for his birthday.

We went to a park and played football and ate pizza.

We are so glad he is in our family.  He is smart, loving and kind.  He is so good about expressing gratitude.  

 

January and Beginning of Feb

My sisters and I raced in early Jan.  We had a great time!  I placed first in my age group.  So fun!

Aaron ran his first official 5k race.  He took first in his age group and wore his medal for the rest of the day.

Evan took second in his age group.  He did great!

Evan qualified for State.  I am so proud of this team.  They have done a great job working together.

We got a little snow.  Aaron and Evan were playing outside until it melted away.

For Leah's Birthday we went to Strike and Reel.

She had a great time!

They played games and did bumper cars.

I did cake on her actual birthday with family.  We are so lucky to have her in our family.  

Leah had her first practice track meet.  She had a great 1600 meter run.

Aaron is working on hard on spelling words.  He struggles with spelling but he did get a hundred on his last test.

Dallin got his school jacket.  It looks great on him!

Leah ran her first real track meet.  She did amazing.  She took off 41 second from the practice meet!

It was so fun to see her start out in the back and make her way to the front.

Dallin did great at his first track meet of the year as well.  He got two PRs and placed 1st and 3rd.  He has gotten so fast!

Joshua has been working so hard on his robot.  They have designed and redesigned it.  He is doing so great this year.

Evan has won an innovation, judges, and design award this year.  

Joshua's crew has won two tournaments and won a few awards.  They have learned lots and are looking forward to state and nationals. 

This was from the Aaron's first race.  Everyone did great!
