May

May is always a fun and busy month.  This May was no different.  We started out the month with the baseball parade and opening day, the same day I took Kadee and Kloe to the Ivy Girl Academy in South Jordan. While they learned about self confidence, self-defense, make up tips, and more, Kinlee and I went shopping and visited grandma and grandpa Curtis.   

Connor received his first class badge in scouts, he is well on his way to becoming an eagle scout and will be going on a 50 mile hike this summer. He also hit 2 home runs this month and the most exciting thing is he made the 12u Cal Ripken all-star team.  He loves baseball and is thrilled to get to play ball for the summer. 

Kadee had the pirate treasure hunt at the middle school,  it's a fun little activity they do to welcome in the kids that will be starting there in the fall.  They give them a treasure map of the school and the kids go around and get treasures while becoming familiar with the school.  She also had the 5th grade field trip to the bees game, Rory and I got to go with her and it was hot but so fun.  This girl works so hard in school and in life and had her DARE graduation and 5th grade send off.  I can't believe how fast time flies.  The teachers made a slide show of the 5th graders as babies and now and I got a little teary eyed.  I can't believe I'm going to have 2 kids in middle school.  She is super nervous to leave elementary school but is excited for some of her classes next year.  Kadee also passed the torch to the new historian and received an award for her reflections entry as well as several gift certificates for her attendance and effort she made on the SAGE test.   

Matthew graduated from preschool and had an end of year party at the wave pool.  He was so cute at his graduation and totally rocked Tooty Ta (his favorite preschool song of all time).  He loves baseball and did a really good job in coach pitch this year.  He is still a little afraid of the ball, so Connor has been working with him on catching the ball.  He is still doing Upstart (the online preschool) and will continue doing that until July, then he will be set and ready to go to Kindergarten.  He is such a little spit fire but loves life and always has a smile on his face.   

Kinlee and Kadee had their dance recital, welcome to my crazy circus.  It was such a fun show and the girls totally rocked it!  I was so proud of my little dancers, they smiled and did so well on all of their dances.  Kadee had 4 different dances that she performed and Kinlee had 3.  I love watching my kids develop their talents.  Kadee missed dance pictures because of the Hogle zoo field trip, but Kinlee went to hers and they turned out so cute! My favorite was a picture I took of her and Kaydree popping out of the popcorn box, little cuties!
