Taylee's Church Camp

Date: May 26th

Taylee's youth group at church
had their Activity Days Girl Camp!
This year they have the best leaders and planned something so cool!!
The girls got to go to Flagstaff and do the 


Taylee immediately begged me to come too.
Which of course I was more than happy to do!
Since school was already out,
Ryan was lucky enough to get to be the stay at home mom with the other 3 kids! ;)

I got a fun carload of girls
and we made the 2 hour trek to Flagstaff!


Harnessed up and ready to go!
(and don't be fooled by the sunshine, it was FREEZING!! like 60 degrees)




The instructors gave them a quick demo with a ton of safety rules.


Then finally they got to start the practice course!
I didn't even have to look over to see who volunteered to go first!
Yep it was Taylee!


I could have easily guess you went next, yep her best bud Sophie.
Those two are seriously fearless!





Taylee breezed through the practice course and 
headed on over to the official course!













First girls Done!


These two literally flew through that course.
And it looked pretty challenging!!
I didn't realize how quickly they finished it
until I looked back at the beginning and there
were scared little girls that hadn't even started yet
because of other scared little girls that were moving slowly
up high in the pines!

So we played an impromptu game
while we waited for all the girls to start the course
before Round 2 could start.



Second Round
Yep she led the pack again!






I was SO proud of all these girls!
Some of them there literally terrified up there.
But every single girl pushed herself past her own limits
and finished that course!!!
See all you boys....girls aren't just about crafting! ;)
(yes Anden was SO jealous the girls got to go here!!)

After everyone finished the course a couple times
we went for a little hike and ate our lunches.


Then it was more hiking and eventually back to our cars to head home!
We were all exhausted!!

Then we rocked out to music and chowed on candy the next 2 hours back to Anthem! :)





Memorial Day Weekend

Date: May 27th

Grammie and the cousins all came up on Saturday
to go to the waterpark with us!
Everyone had a great time!

The big kids bolted in every direction
and I barely saw them the whole time!
But I did manage to get a few pics of the little girls.
They can't run away from me as fast.
Ok actually just Eastlie can't escape me!
We did somehow lose Laikyn a few times.
She's fearless and thinks she can just wander anywhere she wants
and go on any slide she wants! lol little stinker!



Eastlie loved splashing in the baby pool


Group Pic!
Well at least the adults are looking at the camera! 


Then it was home to bbq and hang out!
The rest of the weekend was actually pretty chill and relaxing!
Just what we needed!

Mother's Day

Date:  May 14th

My kiddos and husband spoiled me on Mother's Day
with all sorts of gifts, cards, homemade cards and crafts!
I sure do LOVE this family of mine!!

We had a yummy breakfast then opened gifts!


 My little loves...
minus Eastlie who was already back down for morning nap!







My favorite gifts are always the homemade ever so thoughtful gifts!
(pics coming)

Then we lounged around until church.
For the first time this year we decided to skip afternoon naps 
and all go to church together as one big happy family.
Well....let's just say you can omit "happy".
The kids got to go up front and sing to the Moms in the main meeting.
Laiklyn REFUSED to join them.
Eastlie was fussy out in the hallway with Ryan.
So Laiky sat on my lap whining while I tried to listen to the big kids sing.
Then classes - ya that was a disaster with tired little ones.
Needless to say Ryan took the littles home early!!
Hey at least we tried.
1pm church is the pits!

After church we went out to dinner.
When we finally got home we attempted a pic of Me and all the kiddos.
It was rough...to say the least.
 But we finally got one of all eyeballs looking the right direction! lol


I'm such a blessed Mama!
I couldn't be happier with these 4 awesome kids of mine!

Last Day of School!

Date: May 24th

How in the heck is another school year already over?!
This one flew by!!!

But alas here we go...
LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!
and it was also spirit week!
So wild and crazy hair complemented our last day excitement!!







Last Day of School Happy Pancakes!


And then I walked with all 4 kiddos to school!
The traditional balloons and candy were waiting for the kids when they got home!
I thought they might have outgrown this
but nope Anden reminded me that morning
how he always gets balloons and candy after school.
Good thing I already had it planned! lol


I'm so proud of these cuties!
They had a phenomenal year!
They both ended the year with straight A's every quarter
and President's list all year too!
And the majority of their grades were even A+s!!
Both of their teachers raved about how amazing they were both as students
and as friends and human beings in general.
That means more to me than even their grades! :)
I'm a lucky momma to have such good kiddos!
