When kids make you proud....PART 2...Megan's Dance Recital

This past weekend was Megan's dance recital.  The class worked really hard to learn a dance to "Return to Sender" by Elvis.  Our little girl was lucky to be front and center for most of the song and we couldn't be prouder of how well she did and how much she has grown as a dancer.

Some other exciting things that happened this weekend:  Colton simultaneously spiced up the ward ice cream and almost gave himself a consussion by slipping on wet concrete and banging his head.  Luckily the trip to the Quick Care only took an hour and we were back before the end of the party.  We also went to an exciting hockey game in which Parker played very well and Brian and I went to a very fun game night.  I also had to give a talk in sacrament meeting on music, sing in the choir and teach sharing time.  WHEW!  So glad we made it!!

Fourth Grade Class

We were very proud of our kids this school year.  They worked very hard and won some amazing awards.  Megan got a certificate for Straight A's and Honor Roll and a special award for doing well in math.  We are also proud of how well she is reading.  Parker won the Governor's Award for attendance (he only missed one day all school year and that was for a family vacation), an award for straight A's all year, honor roll and the principal's award for scholastic achievement.  Go kids...wait to take after your mom!!  Just kidding, their Dad is smart too!

Bowling is so much fun!!

We had a lot of fun over the Memorial Day weekend.  We were also lucky enough to have visitors, my Mom and Aunty Janet visit us and spend some time with us.  On Saturday we headed over to the Gilcrease Bird Sanctuary.  They had a lot of fun birds, goats, llamas, minature horses, fish and turtles.  The kids (and Aunt Janet) had a lot of fun getting the parrots and cockatiels to talk and feeding the animals.  We then headed over to the gorgeous, and shady, Floyd Lamb Park for a yummy picnic lunch.  Grandma played a rousing game of red light, green light with the kids while a few of us had a small nap on the blanket.  We also went on a walk around the pond.  That night we had a yummy BBQ and watched a movie.  Sunday was church and relaxation!  Monday we went bowling with our friends the Kelloggs and to see the animals at exotic pets.  It was a weekend filled with family fun!!!!
