Reese was involved in a really neat program called “Hope of America” along with 100’s and 100’s of 5 graders all around Utah County. It was such a neat thing! They performed at the Marriott Center on BYU campus. It was so cool to watch and kudos goes out to all the 5th grade teachers and those who put on the production.
This spring we decided to dive into the crazy world of spring sports. It was intense and I made a big calendar to go on our kitchen wall so we could keep track of all the overlapping schedules.
Emma and Nora did PG Track Club. Nora wanted to do it and since Emma hadn’t decided on anything else to do I signed her up as well. She wasn’t super happy about that but has done awesome. Both girls are pretty fast and it fun to watch them!
Lucy did Futsol (indoor soccer) and had a great time. She made a few goals and loves being active. It wasn’t intense with Futsol- just each Saturday morning.
Reese did soccer and found a new love for something active! The whole season was only 6 weeks but was 3-4 times each week. Made it a very busy 6 weeks. She said during the season “Mom! I think I found my thing!” She loves it and is excited to keep doing it.
Being that busy is not my favorite but I love cheering my girls on in things that are active or that they enjoy doing.
My sisters and mom (minus Steph and Jennie) and I went to St. George did two nights and it was SO fun. We left Friday around noon and drove straight to a Mexican place to eat. After that we got pies at a yummy pie shop and went to hike around Gunlock Falls. The falls were flowing and they were MAGICAL!! They usually only flow every 8-10 years. They were flowing I think 3 years ago but because of our intense winter of snow they were flowing this year! I could have stayed there for a long, long time. And since we went in the evening there weren’t a lot of people.
After Gunlock we went to our Airbnb townhome and did pickle ball and hot tubbing and then games. Great first day!
On day two we woke up and ate some yummy pastries, played some pickle ball, then drove around to find a hike that wasn’t closed off by the St. George Marathon. We ate more yummy food, laid by the pool (I sat in the hot tub while my sisters and mom laid in the sun- barely 70 degrees is too cold for me 🤣) and then played games, ate dessert and watched “A Man Called Otto”. It was all my favorite things.
Sunday we packed up and drove past the temple being built, went to church in St George, stopped by the Beaver Creamery, and drove home. It was a wonderful, wonderful time with some of my favorite women.
We love our sweet and fun loving Jane Elizabeth. What a cute and amazing addition to our family. Some of my favorite things about Jane are:
- How well she plays with Benny. They are the best of friends and have the best time together.
-She has gotten through some rough months of not wanting to go to preschool and not wanting me to leave but have powered through it and is a trooper now.
- Jane loves friends and loves playing with her sisters. She is a social bug for sure.
- Some of Jane’s favorite things are: eating popsicles, riding bikes/scooters, going to the park, playing with friends, watching PJ Masks, and having family time.
We went to a comedic play called "The Play that Went Wrong". Even though it was HILLARIOUS, Lucy still managed to fall asleep toward the end when the entire set was falling apart 😂. It was fantastic.
This year Lincoln Academy (the girls school) did a color run for their 5k fundraiser. It was super fun to cheer and support this year. I wasn't a fan of the color chalk being thrown in my face or of my littles so me and Jane and Benson cheered them on. Cade and the older girls had a blast though! Of course to Lucy "it was the BEST DAY EVER!"
