Firsts!!!

Why write when a picture is worth a thousand words? These are all the firsts we've experienced the last little bit:


First time in Tribal Circle (Wellington Elementary started a program called Tribal Circle to help students succeed. They have to work on six different areas throughout the quarter and if they accomplish all the goals in the areas they are recognized and inducted into the Tribal Circle and become true Wellington Warriors. The six areas are: increase in reading, increase in math, no more than 1 absence, participate in service, have a parent attending a school meeting, and 100% homework turned in.)



First Oreo cookie


First Watermelon


First season of soccer (for Kadee)


First pig tails (kind of hard to see)


First birthday party (Kaydree Miller's)


First carnival

Needless to say we have had lots of fun this month and have been super busy. Swim lessons and gymnastics are in full swing. I love this busy time of year!!!

The Merry Month of May

Where do I begin? My computer got a virus, again! I am on Rory's laptop so I have no pictures but wanted to update my life. May was super busy. Between Connor's baseball, Kadee's soccer, preschool graduation, and dance recital's we lived in our car. Speaking of, we got a new car. It is a 2009 Chevy Traverse. We are loving it so far and the kids have had no problems breaking it in.

Connor has continued playing baseball and is getting really good. He practices every chance he gets and had a great time practicing with Roger and Elynn's grandkids over memorial weekend. We went camping down on the desert again and had so much fun. We played baseball, roasted marshmallows, and laughed until we cried. Connor is so excited to be done with school and we are so proud of him. He is one of the top readers in his class. He read over 121 accelerated reader books and countless other books. He is doing so great and is looking forward to 1st grade.

Kadence had an extremely busy month. She graduated from preschool and I was so proud of her. She sang so loud and did so great with her part. This year the kids told the story, "Panda Bear, What do you see?" They sang tons of cute songs and told everyone a little about themselves and what they love about preschool. The same week as graduation Kadence had her dance recital. It was so fun and she looked so stinkin cute in her costumes. She also started soccer and loves it. She is really funny because she runs up and down the field smiling at Rory and I, making sure we are watching. On my birthday Kadence had her well child check up and kindergarten shots. She did really well. Dr. Madsen said she is very smart and was impressed with how high she can count already. He was a little concerned about her vision and wants me to go back in November and have it checked again.

Kinlee is crawling all over the place, has started pulling herself up to furniture, and is busy, busy, busy. She crawls on all fours, but also does a gorilla crawl when her dress is in the way or if she is on the grass. She can do patty cake all by herself and I have to say it's the cutest thing I've ever seen. I guess that's really all that's new with her. I can't believe how fast she is growing.

Hopefully I will have my computer back soon so I can post pictures. Happy Blogging!
