First Week of Summer

Well, we are already down our first week of summer. The kids have been loving it of course, as have I!

The week started off on a bum note with both Evan and I having a stomach virus, but fortunately that passed quickly and we were able to go on. For the rest of the week Evan went to baseball camp at a local high school from 9-12 every day. He enjoyed it and we wished it would last another week.

We also went to Hawaiian Falls, a nearby water park that we have season passes for, twice. The kids really enjoy it! Thursday, was a very rainy and wet day, so we took advantage of it by going to Amazing Jakes. Amazing Jakes is kind of like Chuck-E cheese on steroids. Evan got a pass to play unlimited laser tag, which he loved! Claire rode the merry-go-round, train, and flying jets. She also tried to play lots of games. Evan can't wait to go back.

Over the weekend, Ladd was largely out of commission from the stomach bug. Evan had a baseball game, and was tickled that our neighbor across the street could come watch him. Sunday, we had church, and then after rest, we went to the local pool with our neighbors. After an hour of swimming, we came back and had some more fun (AND FOOD) in the backyard. The kids went to bed happy, but exhausted--and the grown-ups enjoyed their time as well.

Hopefully, this week will bring lots of new adventures!

Busy Busy Busy

I am happy to announce that all the hard work with the Robotics team paid off.  We brought home 1st place.  Evan was just as happy and proud if he had won it himself.  I am glad about that since he had to attend every practice and stay late after school all year.

We are winding down the school year, but there is still lots of excitement going on.  Evan has all sorts of fun next week.  Claire will be very glad to get to stay home as well. 

We are making lots of plans for the summer that include the nearby water park, baseball camp, possible vacation, and Mommy tutoring.  

10 More Days

We are down to our last 10 days of school.  I can't believe that Evan is almost finished with Kindergarten!  We are very busy with year-end activities.  

I have been very busy with the school Robotics team that I sponsor.  We are participating in a competition this weekend, and the team has been working hard.  Ladd and the kids have been very supportive of all of the time it has taken.  Evan has been hanging out with the team every day.  He will probably be sick of it by the time he is old enough to actually join the team.  

Claire is a sweet child with the TERRIBLE TWO's.  Frequently, she grins at us like she is saying, "I know I'm cute, you can't help but give in to me."  When she is sweet, she is oh so sweet.  I am looking forward to being able to have her at home with me most of the summer.
