Here are the winners!

Kindergarten Graduate

Kyler Graduated from kindergarten!  (Just a little behind on the posts!)  The photos I took on my phone will not open up anymore so I had to re-take some photos of him in his graduation cap because it is so cute.  He had a fun year in Mrs. Espinoza's class at the new charter school, Promentory School of Expiditionary Learning.  School starts again in only 20 days!

Tavaci Graduate

Shanee had her last Tavaci concert on May 4.  She has been in Tavaci since she was 3 so she graduated with a 9 year trophy.  It is huge!  She has loved it and has learned so many fun songs. Both of her grandmas came up to watch her and we went out to eat at Maddox to celebrate.

 

Kaden has his first date!

Kaden got asked to MORP by his friend Celeste.  They were in a group with four other couples and had a lot of fun together.  They played ping pong and board games, ate hamburgers and went to the dance.  Hopefully we will see some more pictures from the date in the next few weeks because Kaden says they took pictures.
When Celeste came to pick him up I embarrassed them by making them get their picture taken.

The Ugly Tree Bush is Gone!!

This bush has been driving me nuts.  So I dug around it and cut off the roots and tried to push it down following the advice of some claimed expert.  This didn't work at all.  But when I put a chain around it and hooked it up to the blazer it came out in no time at all.  It looked even more huge when it was down.  It was a pain to get rid of but I think it was worth all the effort to have it gone.

o glad its out and it was worth all the effort!

Shanee finishes seemingly impossible puzzle

We got this puzzle as a gift from Jana a few years ago of Brigham City.  We have never put it together.  Shanee and Kyler started putting it together on Sunday and today (Wednesday) it got finished with the help of dad and mom and Shanee's continued effort.
It was difficult because all of the pieces looked like they were about the same shape and the picture to follow was so small.
It looks awesome so we glued it together and plan on framing it.

Watch Out, Kaden has his drivers license!

Kaden was so excited to get his license.  His birthday was on Sunday so he had to wait until Monday during his lunch hour to go get his license.  I picked him up from school and in no time he had it.  He has been very disappointed that he hasn't been able to drive to school yet this week because Darren is using both the subaru and blazer for work.  But he will be able to drive to school on Thursday and Friday.  He has taken Shanee to practice for me and picked up Darren from the post office.  He is very willing to do any errand I need done!
