Music in May 2019

Date: May

Every Friday night in May Anthem has free concerts in the park.

This year the little girls were old enough to really love going!

Which is awesome, because I love it too!!

Live music, tons of friends, outdoors and beautiful weather!

Out of the 5 Fridays in May this year,

we actually made it to 3 of the concerts!!
We were right up front living it up the whole time!

Arbor and Laiklyn were quite the dancers!!

Eastlie, Taylee and her friends joined the dancing party too!

When the concert ended we finally saw Anden and Kal for the first time!

May 24th

May 31st

All sorts of friends went with us for the finale concert!

Taylee had Sophie, Xaida, Piper and Emma.

Then Poppy came with us too!

Sara and Arbor met us there also.

Arbor is Laiky's dancing queen partner! lol

Later that night a friend sent me these pics! lol

Busted - yes I was rocking out with the big girls!

Taylee on my back and Xaida on Sophie's back!

Poppy dancing with Laiky

And then as usual once the concert ended

we gathered up Anden and his posse on our way to the car!

Another fantastic year of Music of May!!

Anthem Waterpark is Open for Summer!

Date: May 25-31st

The second the Anthem Waterpark opened,

we were there!

And the day after and then day after and the day after and....

On May 30th

Laiklyn talked us into letting her go off the diving board for the first time!

She's not a strong swimmer,

in fact she looks like she's drowning although she's "swimming".

The requirement to go off the diving boards is to swim to the edge by yourself.

So we let her have at it and hoped for the best!!

 

Eastlie apparently hijacked my phone sometime that evening.

I found 318 pictures of her feet! lol

We were right back there the next day.

May 31st...

And then it was back over to the diving board pool

(aka the HEATED pool! sheesh the other one is FREEZING!)

Laiky was loving that she can go on the diving boards now!

I wasn't loving how sad her swimming is!! lol

The poor thing resembles a drowning dog!

Maybe I need to clear my schedule to make room for swim lessons! lol

Oh wait and then we were there again on June 1st! lol

To say we were excited it was finally open might be an understatement! :)

Taylee Soccer Camp

Date: May 28-30th

Taylee had her first big college soccer camp!

Her and 3 of her teammates went to

Northern Arizona University

to the ODP Training Camp!

She was SO excited and nervous!

I can't believe she's old enough to go to a camp and stay in the dorms!!

Oh wait, she's still only 10.

But I guess this generation just grows up quicker!!

She rode up to Flagstaff with a friend.

I felt so bad not taking her but I had planned to bring them all home afterwards.

All ready bright and early!

Yes we had Laiky take this picture of us! lol

The other Mom was awesome to send me a bunch of pics after they got registered

and settled into their dorms!

Sophie, Alexis, Piper and Taylee

Her dorm and bed!

Their first practice!

Gosh what a view!!

The girls were so excited to be up in the mountains and cooler temps!

But then it was abnormally cold both in the Valley and up there the week leading up to camp.

It literally snowed the day before they arrived!!

And was forecasted to rain on them a couple of the days!

Uhh I hurried and threw in some long pants in her suitcase!!

I was worried these desert kids were gonna freeze!!

But they did awesome and said it wasn't that cold after all!

Highs in the 60 degrees is ok when your'e running nonstop playing soccer!

I was so excited each night for Taylee to facetime us and tell all about her adventures!

Then the littles and I drove up to pick up the girls on the last day!

All smiles on the start of our 4 hour round trip drive!

(Let's some  hope they're still happy on the drive home too!!)

(don't mind that yet again I had a cold and was losing my voice!)

Gotta love a good drive up into the mountains!

There was still even snow on the top peak!

The littles and I were SO excited to arrive at campus!!

Taylee came down and gave us the grand tour of her dorms!

The little girls attacked her with loves when they saw her! :)

Helping them load up and check out

Somehow it all fit in the sports bus! lol

The big girls were so fun and kept the little girls thoroughly entertained the whole way home!

I loved hearing all their stories about camp too!

You know, I actually don't mind being the soccer mom!

These carpool road trips are always so entertaining!! :)
