School Awards!!!

Taysa did such a great job in school this year. She was in an advanced math class doing 7th grade math in 5th grade. It was a challenge for her...which I really don't think she liked. She actually had to apply herself and study hard. Her first report card she brought home a C in math to which she was devastated. We explained to her that she had a done a great job in 7th grade math and not to get discouraged. She studied and worked sooooooo hard and the next report card was an A-. Still frustrated she studied even harder and to her satisfaction brought home an A for the next two report cards. At the end of the year they give out awards to students who did above and beyond what is expected. Taysa received the math award for the most improved student. YEAH way to go, but that's not all...she also received the reading award for the top 3 readers in her class. Wow!!! We are so proud of her.

Here is Taysa receiving her awards from the Principal.

AGGIE GYMNASTICS MEET
A few pictures from the gymnastics meet. The Aggies were so much fun to watch. The picture of the guy in the white shirt and tie is one of my first gymnastic coaches. His name is Jeff and while he was my coach he was attending Utah State and had a girlfriend named Shireen and now he is the Aggie's coach. Pretty crazy!


Having fun at the gym meet...GO AGGIES!!!



BIG BLUE
Big Blue was Cloe's favorite part of the whole meet...well maybe not her favorite but it's what kept her attention the entire time. Cloe was sitting on my lap when all of the sudden she started crying. I had no idea why...Big Blue was to blame. He was getting too close to her and she was freaking out. At one point he even came up to her and tried to give her five, but she was not about to have it. So he backed away and rubbed his eyes like he was crying. The rest of the meet all Cloe cared about was where is Blue?

FREDRICOS PIZZA
On Saturday Matt went snowmobiling with his friends and my mom, sister Cristi and niece Kylie came to Logan to spend the day with us. We went shopping, goofed around and went to lunch at the best pizza place in the world, Fredricos!!!


SWIMMING
Kylie was such a good sport and went swimming with the girls in the hotel pool. The pool was a little cold but they had lots of fun.


"I KEEP GETTIN ALL THESES WEDGIES," Cloe! I had to post this picture because, I guess you had to be there. She kept getting wedgies like crazy all day and this was hilarious.

Getting ready to go swimming again!

GOING HOME!

Brooklyn on the drive home...she was exhausted from our fun filled weekend.

LITTLE BUNNY FOO FOO

This picture is of a bunny we found sitting on our back porch when we got home. It was really funny because the whole weekend Cloe kept singing little bunny foo foo. So when we came home to find Little Bunny Foo Foo sitting on our porch Cloe was really happy.

Blogging!!!

I am so totally behind on blogging! Life has been so crazy and I haven't had two seconds to think about it. Since my last post in March we have done many fun things which I will post about later...things like a weekend to Logan to an Aggie Gymnastics meet, Easter, riding the new 4 wheeler, Taysa's 5th grade music program, Brooklyn's 1st grade talent show, the girls dance recital, Maggie's Temple sealing, Brooklyn's soccer games, Brooklyn's 1st grade music program, the girls dance competition at Lagoon, having cousins spend the night, Brooklyn getting poked in the eye at school which caused a scratch on her pupil, and snow in May!

MAKE OVERS!
My girls love to give each other make overs...it's one of their very favorite things to do. So I couldn't resist taking these cute pictures. At least they like to spend time together doing something right?

1st Grade Talent Show and Program

In May, Brooklyn had her 1st grade talent show and program. It was very cute. The kids read stories out loud in groups and they all played their own parts. They sang songs and had a talent show. Brooklyn and her friend Arianna did their Baton dance from dance class. They did a GREAT job!

LAGOON DANCE COMPETITION!!!

This year Brooklyn got to compete in the Lagoon dance competition too! They were so excited and did a great job!!! And of course getting to spend the rest of the day riding the rides isn't too shabby either.


Brooklyn's "Party In The USA" dance at Lagoon. Only 4 girls came to the competition and they still took 1st place in their category!


Taysa's "I Gotta Feeling" dance at Lagoon. Taysa is the girl on the right in the beginning when there are only 2 girls out...she was so excited to get to do this part! Her class took 1st place in their category too!


The girls are showing off their 1st place medals. Brooklyn's super cute picture of her and Miss Jill, the amazing dance teacher that we absolutely love! Taysa with the girls in her dance class that came to the competition.

Here are a few pictures of the rest of our day at Lagoon. We had lots of fun riding rides. Taysa and Brooklyn rode the old white roller coaster for the first time this year. Taysa looooooved it and Brooklyn looked like she had seen a ghost when she got off...she obviously did NOT like it! And Taysa made me go on the one ride I really DON'T like...Mouse Trap! I have been afraid of that ride since I was a kid, I went on it once with my mom and I vowed that day, NEVER AGAIN until Taysa convinced her mom that it wouldn't be THAT BAD...guess what? Still DO NOT like the ride!


And Cloe, our little girl that we thought would hate all the rides...think again! She would have gone on the really big ones if she was tall enough. She loved everything she rode, but her favorite ride was Lady Bug Bop and the Dinosaur Drop. When she was on those rides she would giggle so hard and loud that all the people under the ride were laughing with her. She loooooooves rides!
