Summer Festivities

The Orem Summer Fest kicks off our summer.  It was good weather this year so we enjoyed the carnival and had some fun.

Gotta love Addie's mustache!

Dad and Levi bought hats for hiking.

"Fanetik" Spelling?

I love how kids do phonetic spelling.  Here is Bre's grocery list for me:

1. furt by the foot

2. guraps

3. slist chees

4. bred

5. cocoo pebls

One of the best reads

This is my favorite book right now.  Thank you Hollie for sharing this with me...very inspirational! 

What? A Warm Weekend?

It's time for a little nature hike up Rock Canyon.

Addie was off with friends and missed out on our adventure.  What is this with kids getting older and too busy to do things with their family?  I don't think I like that.  

Well, it's so nice to have these beautiful mountains so close.  It felt so good to get outdoors.

What did we do in May?

Went camping and sledding at the sand dunes with the ward.

Went to lots of school class programs.  Addie's had a Utah history theme.

Square dancing.

Bre played the piano for her class talent show.

She played Ode to Joy.

Levi got an award for building a rocket in the NOVA program.

Bre bought some cute guppies.

Mom survived her 40th birthday.  Dad made a homemade ice cream cake for her.

The kids did great at their outdoor end of year dance festival.  Bre's class did an Irish Jig.

Levi did a Surfin' in the USA dance.  Addie did the square dancing.  And Leia's preschool class did "The Little Pig Blue's"...very cute.
