Spring Break, St. George

St. George never disappoints.  We had a great time rzr riding and Hailey and I took a girls day too.  We had som great crepes and had a great time with Kendra and her girls!  

There was a lot of swimming and hot tubbing, but not a lot of pictures.  The kids could swim all day every day.

Conrad and Jackson got to get pretty comfortable driving the rzrs

A fun spot for pictures

It's a great thing that I married a man that likes adventure and trusts these kids to try new things.  He really gets us all out of our comfort zone and we become better because of him.  Thanks Bo for always taking us on adventures! I love you!

 

Kauai 2022

This is just kind of a photo dump.  Bo and I went to Kauai with my mom, Bryce, and Amie. We had a great time.  The weather was gorgeous, we found a way around beach and hike we really wanted to get into and couldn't, and just enjoyed some time together.  We were exhausted by the end of each day and just had a blast.

 I posted all of the pictures with us first.  Then the rest of some pretty scenic pics.

 

Wax Museum and other End of the Year Activities

 For 5th grade history, the kids get to pick someone from the past to learn about.  Then they write a speech, dress up, and perform that speech every time someone pushes a button on that cone.  Brayden chose Audie Murphy, the most decorated military soldier in history.  He had a lot of fun with this project.  He really loves the camo he got to get for it.  He wears it quite a bit.

Brayden also sang in the Hope of American 5th grade program, graduation, and pocket knife slice.

This kid really loves pocket knives.  Sometimes they get a little too close...

Pinewood Derby

Even though Caleb isn't in scouts, he still got to make a car with Bo. He got to skip a half-day of school to make the care and chose to paint it red, his favorite color. It was a fun night!  I love that he chose to wear one of my Dad's old hats too!

 

Caleb's 9th Birthday

I can't believe our youngest is nine!  I probably say that every year, but time is going by so fast.  So fast, in fact, It's July and I still haven't posted anything yet this year.  I'm working on getting caught up.  We had an at home party for Caleb this year.  It was fun and he got to invite Jacob and Brooklyn.  He went on a scavenger hunt for one of his gifts.
