Field trip to J&J Garden
May 10th
The kids love going into the J7J nursery see and smell all the plants that they had in there. I managed to take a couple of pictures before my camera died on me. Like always Julia and Andrew came along. This was Julia’s 3rd visit to the nursery and I am sure it won’t be the last one.
The kid’s favorite thing to do was to look at the fish they have in pools and get their little plant which they get to bring home.
Mother’s Day
May 13th
This is my favorite day of the year. This year I got really spoiled, I received some beautiful artwork and flowers from the kids and I got to pick two extra presents. The first one was a light-weighted wheel barrel I know what you are thinking Boring! But for me this was perfect I been wanting one for the longest time to help me with the yard work. I also got a gift card to Rod Works which is a store that sells decorating items. I knew exactly what I was spending my money on: picture frames. I currently have three picture frames hanging, each with a picture of the kids but since we are expecting Danny we needed to add one more.
Joshua’s little card was titled the many hats of mom and it had different questions and his answers. Some of his answers were too cute.
My mom is a cook. I love it when she makes: Mac N’ Cheese
My mom is a magician. She can always find lost things. Once she found: my goggles
My mom is a chauffeur. She drives me to: the ice cream store
My mom is a teacher. She taught me: how to make my bed
My mom is a nurse. She always makes me feel better when she: puts water on my ouchies
My mom is a sanitation worker. When she sees my room she says: Clean up your Room!
I have to admit it wasn’t much fun to wake up and get ready for church by 9 am, we didn’t have much time for breakfast but the rest of the day went very smooth. We spent the day with Spencer’s parents. His mom had dinner ready and everyone had a lovely time playing. What a relaxing and peaceful day that was. Thanks to my kids and my hubby for making me feel so special that day. Words cannot express how grateful I am to my Heavenly Father for being allowed to be the mother of my three wonderful children. I have learned and grown so much in the past six years and it is all because of them and their unconditional love.
Julia’s last soccer game
May 19thIt finally rolled along, the last game of the season for the Tinkerbells. Julia couldn’t have wished to finish the season with a better game than the one she had that day. She ended up scoring 3 goals and one of them was pretty cool. She kicked the ball into the net while the ball was suspended in the air. I don’t think even she could believe it. After the game they had a little awards ceremony where they got a medal.
Josh’s last day of swimming lessons
May 21st
Joshua was very excited for his last day of swimming lessons, mainly because they get to play on the toys for the last 10 minutes of the class at the Clearfield aquatic center.
Julia’s Field day
Julia was supposed to have a field day the Friday before but due to some heavy rain the school decided to have it on Monday instead. It was a perfect warm May morning. I think Julia woke up at 5:45 because so excited and could sleep any more.
She left at 11:00 and I went to pick her up at 3:00. They had water activities planned for the day so she got to wear her swimming suit. She got to bring lunch from home so she really enjoyed taking her lunch box to school.
cat nap
May 22nd
This is a random picture. It was Spencer’s day off and the boys had just finished cleaning and vacuuming the house for me, well after all that hard work a little break was truly needed.
May 24th
If you have your kids on a pay preschool all you have to do is sit and enjoy the show, but since I am doing Joy school for him it means that all the moms who participate get to put a program together and plan the whole event. I was in charge of reading the three little pigs’ poem. I had to dress up three tents and make them look like the pigs houses. Of course I procrastinated on getting the houses done so I overdid it. By the time we had the first practice with the kiddos I was in so much pain I thought Daniel was coming not to mention that we were all sick with a nasty cold.
The day finally came and we held the graduation at 6 pm. This was bad for poor Josh who had the worst of his cold that day. He was basically done for by the time we headed over to the community center.
That pledge of allegiance that he so dearly loves to recite never made it out of his mouth. He was such a trooper though, by the second song he had woken up enough to sing and do all the hand actions. I was so extremely proud of him to be singing and participating even though he was feeling so miserable.
The 8 kids on his class all sang cute songs that they learned throughout the year and some nursery rhymes along with the three little pigs story which turned out pretty cute.
The kids got a diploma and a bag of goodies at the end and for the grand finally they sang a song about what they wanted to be when they grow up. Josh’s part was he was going to be the President of the United States of America. He was thrilled about wearing his little suit for it.
It was a cute night and we spent it with cute friends. Thanks to grandma and grandpa for coming too.
Last day of Kindergarten for Julia
May 25th
It was so sad to realize that an entire year had gone by already, that my little girls is all done with kindergarten and is now moving on to first grade.
They had a lovely time. No graduation or program but they had a day filled with games and activities. She was so excited when I went to pick her up to tell me everything that they had done that day.
First thing she showed me was her report card which had 98% of satisfactory on English, reading, math and Spanish. Next, was her yearbook which had 4 pictures of her in it. A couple during field trips and 2 more with her choir.
Then she proceeded to show me her file folder with a details progress of her writing throughout the year. That night for bed time we read all of the stories she had written.
Finally she pulled out a piled of paper with names from her best friends along with a couple of noted from her teachers wishing her a happy summer. She was on cloud 9.
Funny thing one of the girls in my car pool who is in Julia’s class was saying what a sad day it was and Julia turned around and told her: “what!, we are first graders now”. 
Memorial Day
May 28th
We are lucky enough that every Memorial Day Spencer’s parents invite us out for breakfast. This year we went to the Cracker Barrel. We were joined by Matt’s family.
After a yummy breakfast we had all planned to drive 90 minutes away to Heber City to see Thomas the tank Engine. The kids had been behaving extra good to go see Thomas. It was a much anticipated day!
Once we got there the kids were all in heaven. The event was really organized. They had activity centers for all the kids to do like a tattoo station a balloon station, golfing a hay maze and activity center and also a live band and magic show. The kids were so entertain the entire time. They even had a place to meet up with Sir Topenhat. Andrew, who is a big fan of Thomas, wanted nothing to do with him. He hid behind Julia’s legs during the picture
The best part of the day was waiting to get a ride on Thomas. The kids loved the 20 minute ride and it provided us with a nice and relaxing break.
We finished our memorial day by having a BBQ at Spencer’s parents. The kids had a blast playing with each other and watching the dads and grandpa play a friendly game of horse.
Mud Bath
May 29th
I sent the kids to the backyard to play. The day before it had rain and our sand table was filled with water. After 20 minutes Julia comes in and tells me that I’d better take a look at Andrew because he is not listening to her. So I went outside and this is what I found. The kid had given himself a mud bath from head to toe. 
That was our May crazy busy but fun and full of milestones.
