Last Days of School

The top is the first day and the bottom is the last day.  I think my kids looks more excited about the first day.  lol

I spent a couple of hours at the school for the awards ceremony.  It was nice to have my Mom watch Aaron at home.  He wouldn't have enjoyed hanging out that long.  

Leah had a great year.  She loves school.  She has learned so much.  She is great at following rules and doing what she is supposed to do.  She loves to draw and write notes for everyone.

Leah received the good citizenship award and most likely to get good grades.  She is ready for first grade.  She is testing very well!  I can't wait to see her continue to grow and learn.

Dallin was on the silver honor roll all year long.  

He works very hard and always follows the rules.  He enjoys math and loved his robotics club.  He loves funny books like Big Nate .  I am excited to see him take on 4th grade. 

Joshua got silver honor roll all year as well.  He also was Math Mastermind several times.  Math and Science are always his highest grades.  I am so sad he only has one year left of elementary school.  I am looking forward to to see him grow, but sad how fast it is all going.

Memorial Day Weekend Fun

My Aunt came to town for Memorial Day weekend.  It was awesome having her here.  You would never know she visited by these pictures but she was and we all enjoyed it. ha ha  I need to do better with pictures.  We took her to the Arboretum. 

The flowers were beautiful.  The weather was great!

The kids love the water.

We also went swimming.  Leah looks like she is ready to jump in.

Aaron doesn't like to miss out of the fun!

Michael also did a painting class for us.  It was fun.  Our trees turned out better than we thought they would.   We love having visitors.  It was a great weekend!

End of School Year Fun

Michael found a snake he was so proud.  Yuck!  The boys convinced Uncle Tony to pay them to mow his lawn.  They did a good job and Michael couldn't help himself and had to help them.  lol

The kids hung out with their cousins and played downtown at the park

They road a trolley as well.  They had a great time!

Joshua had his end of year concert.

They sounded great and the teacher said that they were the best choir she has had.  They were even singing in three parts.  At the competition they had a number 1 rating which is the best. 

Soccer is over as well.  The boys had a great time!  They played hard and learned lots.  They only lost a couple of games.  I am one proud mother!

Mother's Day

Leah's class sang to us for Mother's day.

They were so cute!

This is as good of a selfie as we can get.  Each of the kids made me something cute and I loved it.  Michael made breakfast and dinner.  It was a lovely day.  

I also came home to this wonderful surprise.  I have such great friends.  I have such great women in my life.  Michael and I were both blessed with wonderful mothers.  

Fun with Grandparents

I am behind the blog, but we did have fun with Michael's parents last weekend.

Grandpa went bowling with the kids

They had a good time.

Grandpa ended up winning in bowling

The weekend went by too fast.

We had a blast and can't wait until next time!

Easter Weekend

This baby hates sitting still.  During soccer practice I stroll him around and tote him around in a baby carrier.  He still gets fussy until I let him loose to explore.  I am nervous for toddler years.  lol

He also started to eat solid foods.  He is growing up way too fast.

Aaron's first Easter and he is teething like crazy.  He is getting in four teeth right now.

We went to the Annual Cruz Easter hunt.  The weather was perfect.

The kids got loaded up with candy.

We also got to meet sweet Elizabeth, the newest member to the Clark family.  Aaron was pretty excited to meet her too.

Michael did a little painting class with Leah and friends.  

She did a great job!  The girls had a great time!

Easter baskets for the kids.

I didn't get a picture of everyone on Easter.  It was a little crazy, but I got in one of Aaron.

We hit up the blue bonnets this year.  

It kills me how big he is getting.  He is not a baby anymore.  He is so smart and so much like Michael.  He can figure out things so fast.  He is into everything that Michael is into.  

Dallin is getting up there too.  I can't believe how fast it is all going.  He does well in school and sports.  He is super competitive and works hard. 

Evan is a little rascal.  He is so curious and loves to ask lots of questions.  

Aaron is a bright, slobbery, happy baby.

Leah is so pretty.  She really is so good for this house of boys.  She is tough and adds in the right amount of pinks and gentleness and affection.  She crafts, paints, draws, and writes all day. 

We are pretty blessed this Easter.  We know that He Lives!  We are grateful for our Savior's sacrifice.

Spring Fun

The boys and i snuck off to the Arboretum between naps.

 I just had to prove I was there.

Aaron loved the soft grass.  He is always on the move.

Evan facial expressions are so cute.  He always shows what he is feeling.

Aaron is almost always full of smiles.

Evan takes good care of his brother.

I took them with me on a 5K race.  They did well.

Everyone is so nice and encouraging, especially when you are pushing a double stroller.
