In Summer!!!

School is finally out for the summer, hooray!
We are super excited and looking forward to lots of swimming, relaxing, and most of all, sleeping in!


At Maddie's open house


Maddie with her lima bean plant.
She had the tallest one in the class!




Playing on the kindergarten playground afterwards


Maddie's favorite thing is the monkey bars


Grandma came with us to the open house since Trevor had a church meeting


Then we went to the big kid playground, which Maddie will get to enjoy next year




We went on Maddie's field trip to the Maturango Museum.
Maddie's teacher was super nice and let Tanner just be part of the group.





We ate lunch and played on the playground afterwards



On our family hike


I made Povitica!
I have been watching The Great British Baking Show, which is awesome, and when they made this on the show, I really wanted to try it too!
It turned out delicious.


Kinley spilled a bunch of glitter all over our dining room floor


Eating ice cream



Maddie with her graduation cap, which she decorated herself, and why we had the glitter out in the first place



Our friends, Grant and Jack, who came over to play


Maddie earned another PBIS award!
She got a free pizza and a drink from The Pizza Factory, which is really the only reason we would ever go in there, since it's super overpriced.


Poor Kinley, recovering from her fall off the bunk bed


Maddie's last field trip to McDonald's and Baskin Robbins!


The kids got a tour of McDonald's and then got free breakfast Happy Meals and played on the playground


On the tour of Baskin Robbins



The kids got to go behind the counter and scoop their own ice cream!




They even let Tanner have a turn!




Maddie's teacher made this for each kid in the class, full of pictures from the year and all of their projects and papers


At Maddie's graduation!


After the graduation, they let us take her home and start our summer!


Maddie's official diploma!
She was very worried about passing kindergarten and kept saying, "I hope I make it."



National Donut Day!
We invited our friends over to help us make homemade donuts to celebrate.


Uncle Ryan treated all of us to Casa Corona to say thank you for helping him get his new truck.
Kinley had her own bowl of salsa, just like Maddie!

May

The last few weeks we have had a lot going on and it has been really fun!


Daddy/Son lunch to McDonald's


Trevor putting up crown moulding all over the house!


S'mores cupcakes I made for when the missionaries came over for dinner


Cinco de Mayo!



We ate at Casa Corona to celebrate the Mexican holiday



Maddie lost another tooth!


And she had to get one of her bottom teeth pulled out at the dentist.
She was a little nervous.


They tried to cheer her up


Here is Maddie with Dr. Rob, our family dentist


Excited it's all over!


Tanner inherited all the Legos from Grandma and Grandpa.
Trevor has been having tons of fun playing with them and the kids love it too!


Trevor made Tanner a pirate ship!


And Maddie a princess castle!


Crown moulding all done




Getting ready for the Fathers and Sons campout



Headed out


Eating at Classic Burger on the way


Maddie, Kinley, and I had tons of fun!
We got pizza, watched a Barbie movie, played together and went to bed early. Then in the morning we slept in and made pancakes for breakfast. Maddie helped me and did a great job!


Kinley in her new big girl "princess" bed.


Maddie and Tanner were a little jealous

I had the best Mother's Day!
Trevor brought me flowers and everyone wrote me notes and made me cards. I got Kohl's gift cards and Trevor and the kids made me breakfast and dinner!


Being a mom is hard work but days like today make it all worth it!
