Happy Birthday Aaron, Covid, and Happy 15


 

Aaron wanted shark things for his birthday!  He was so excited for his presents.

This is my attempt at a shark cake.  lol I was short on time and talen.

The kids had a great time unloading 500 balloons.

We had water guns and lots of balloons.  It really helped to cool off in the afternoon.  

He was a little sad his class didn't come and sad that his cousins Elizabeth wasn't there, so we will have to get together with Elizabeth another time.
The older boys have been practicing a dance routine for Quincenera.  They were asked to be on the court.

They did a great job on the dance and enjoyed dancing after the official dance.

Michael really enjoyed watching the boys surrounded by all these girls.

It was fun to see them do something out of the box.  

The boys looks so handsome!  

Covid also hit Mom and Michael.  The rest of us were well.  Michael and Mom were fine too just had to quarantine. They all tested negative within a week.  We are so grateful that everyone is ok.

Aaron started school!

He was so nervous but he loved it!  Now that all of my kids are in school I thought I would have more time to do thing, but that has proven to be very untrue.  lol  Life just keeps getting busier.

Dallin ran the Hot Trot 5k.  He did a great job!  He is planning on going out for track in the spring.
 The Hot Trot benefited a fallen Police officer's family.  The lady pictured above was the officer's mother.  She walked the 5k in 2 hours with her walker.  It was so amazing!  


Jenny ran a half marathon at the race.  It was so hot, I was so impressed with her running in the heat!

Aaron at meet the teacher.  He warmed up to the teacher pretty fast.

We have to pick up Joshua from swim practice and take him to band practice.  I often find Aaron like this.  School is hard work.

First Week of School

We are back at school!

We were awarded with chocolates from Spain after watching a friend's dog.

Leah got this cute bag.  She loves it.

Joshua leaves for school first and it is still dark out.

Evan and Leah leave an hour later.

The first day of school it was raining.  We couldn't find our umbrellas, our bus stop moved due to construction, and our van was down so we walked and got a little wet.  ha ha

Dallin leaves last.  They all had a good week.

Joshua has been working really hard at band.  We got to see a showcase of what they have been working on.  He really enjoys band.  

We had a good  time.

We went to Jessica's for a Birthday.  The kids had fun with VR.

All in all it was a long busy week.
