Nate & Kelly

Train Park activity

Our ward had a get together at the train park. It was a lot of fun. They had the train going around and around non stop.

You can see how big Amber's tonsils are in these videos. :)

Amber's party

Amber had a fun 5th Birthday party. She wanted cotton candy cupcakes.

She wanted to do a piñata, so we made one.

Birthday Ice Cream

We love Cold Stone! We get birthday coupons so I took the kids with birthdays to get ice cream. Dallin brought his buddy Cade.

Everyone tells me that Amber looks just like me. I think I can actually see the resemblance! After Amber cut her hair, I starting thinking it might be nice to have a short cut. My hair had been thinning anyway, so I did it. I like it, but I miss my long hair.

ha ha. Amber had pinched her nose, and one nostril kind of stuck. :)

Random pictures

Right: This was me asking Nate if this outfit would be good for my PTA interview. I got in to the program this year!!! I start in the fall.

Braden and Pam came to visit us, and we took them to Kid Time.

Tanner's itchy, pealing sunburn. Gross!

The Rogues baseball camp.

Ashlyn and Amber went to Halle's art party.

Left: Nate and I subbed in Tanner's primary class one week. I grabbed this pic of Tanner mid yawn. I guess Nate isn't the most exciting teacher. ha ha.

Right: Ashlyn trying on some Huge sunglasses. :)

Agony of De Feet

Griffin Creek does a couple of runs each school year, and we usually do them. This year it was rainy and hailing when we ran the 5K. It didn't stop us though. Ashlyn and I ran with her friend Eveyln.

Dallin's party

Dallin is a little obsessed with Harry Potter. He is reading the books for a second time this summer. He wanted to play Quiddich for his party, so we did, and it was so fun! Dallin planned everything he wanted to do. The pictures below are all of his ideas and the way down to a shopping list for me of what to buy for the party. :)

Miscellaneous pictures

Dallin played his last season of rec soccer with this team. Many will play competitively next year. We will not. We will switch leagues and continue rec. Once they get competitive they have to travel and play on Sundays. Dallin really likes to play goalie. He has gotten so much better over the years.

I think I get a picture like this every year on Memorial Day. I miss my grandpa Marshall. He was always so kind to me. He always told me how beautiful he thought I was as he'd hold my hand and look into my eyes. Always made me feel special and important. I wish my kids got to know him more before he passed.

Tanner got to go on the Rogue Jet Boat excursion for a 6th grade field trip. I didn't get to go but a parent of his friend Rey did and sent me the pic. Looks like they had a great time. Crazy that Tanner will be going to middle school next year!

Ashlyn got her face painted at the Panache open house. That is the dance studio where she is taking a Jazz class. She has been doing ballet and might drop that and do Jazz or Hip Hop instead. She is a beautiful ballerina, but I feel like jazz is more her style.
