May Little Things

There are so many fun little things I want to remember about this month.

Olivia was so proud of her Trip to the Principal award.

Perler beads are still huge right now. HUGE. We have sooooo many creations. It's a mess, but the kids love it and I love that they are doing something creative.


We had a crazy, random hail storm one day. The hail was huge! Like the size of marbles.

Owen wrapped up his Safety Patrol responsibilities for the year. Love that kid. He is so responsible and good. I just had to document this. I had so many compliments from Mrs. McRoberts, who is the teacher in charge of Safety Patrol, about how kind and good and hard working our boy is. That sure makes a mother proud, and teary.



Our neighbors, the Burnetts, got bunnies, so we had to stop by and meet them.



2 of our little neighbors and friends, Corbin and Zoey, were baptized on the same day. The kids were able to go up and sing as part of the baptism program.


We participated in Sandy Pride Day by cleaning up our school grounds. We went to pick up trash at the school, and we stopped to play on the playground too of course. Olivia was a little less than thrilled to help.


We had more crazy weather, it snowed in May! Spring in Utah is nuts.

We made Ramadan cards as a part of a service project. We made cards that we sent to NYC and they distributed them to mosques around the US to show religious support and love for them on their important holiday. Owen also taught his class about what Ramadan is and how important it is to those of the Muslim faith. He brought craft supplies and his class made even more cards. I sent a huge box of creative and fun cards to show our love and support.


Jonah went to his friend, Corbin's birthday party and had a great time at Boondocks. Lucky kid! And I just loved this gift bag.



Olivia and I played Mother-Daughter softball with the YW. She did really great!




We played kickball at the school one Saturday and lots of friends came out to join in the fun. Every May our school has a kickball tournament, so it is all the rage right now. Charlotte wasn't really in to kickball so we played on the swings.





Nate snapped this one of Olivia and Charlotte one night.

We have an amazing art teacher at Granite Elementary. Mrs. Carr was able to get 2 professional artists to come in and talk to the kids and teach them different techniques. So cool!
 And Jonah's class was chosen for good behavior in art class, so each of them got an award for a free Create Donut. Oh man did he ever enjoy that!



Charlotte and I went to lunch with friends. These girls are just cute!

Then we stopped by Costco and she wanted a photo with Moana, until she didn't.

And this is not an uncommon occurrence.

We had a landscape architect come and draw up some plans for our yard. We're excited to get started on that.

And our pool opened for the season! Hip Hip Hooray!!
