Makayla just finished up with preschool and now is ready for Kindergarten. Her preschool was wonderful. She was really nervous to start preschool at the beginning of the year, but now she is sad that it is over. During preschool she was also able to do a different activity each day as part of school. On Mondays they would end school with an hour gymnastics, on Wednesday swimming and on Friday dance lessons. It was such a great opportunity to try fun activities as well a learn at preschool. I cant believe that she is old enough to go to school. She still seems like my little girl. The pictures are from her end of the year dance recital and her last day at gymnastics when they were alowed free reign of the gym.
This year we have three kids playing soccer. That means between 3 to 6 games a week. (busy, busy, busy) The kids have really had a lot of fun playing this year. They have each excelled in there own way. This week is the end of soccer and then we will be moving on to baseball this summer. Mitch has been coaching Ty's team this year. As soon as the kids are done Mitch will move on to coaching girls varsity soccer at one of the high schools here in town.
This year Hanna's class was able to perform a children's opera. It turned out really cute. Only two classes in her school do them. The opera is written and sung by the kids. They also painted the scenery and made costumes (with the help of parents). There opera was about the scary people (werewolves, vampires and mummys) inviting pegasus and dolphins to the mummy's birthday party. Hanna played a Pegasus and did a great job. They did three performances for the students, parents and public. What a great opportunity. Hanna would practice singing over and over and over again at home getting ready for it. It was a lot of fun.
Hanna's birthday always falls during spring break so we had to wait until the next week to do her party. She wanted a Hawaiian themed party this year. The girls played pin the flower on the hula girl, limbo, and busted the pinata. They also decorated flip-flops and ate fruit kabobs and cupcakes with tropical umbrellas in them. They had a great time. Happy Birthday Han.
Happy 7th birthday Hanna. I can't believe it, we have an 8 1/2 year old and now a 7 year old. Hanna started her birthday with a trip to the salon with Aunt Jessy. Jess cut her hair and fixed it in a beautiful up-do. Then she put on makeup and painted her fingernails. After she was done we met up with her best friend Lily and had lunch with her and her mom. After lunch we spent some time with the family and had a family party for her that night. Hanna asked for cheesecake this year. (last year it was banana splits) Hanna is so fun to have around. She is always happy and willing to help out. She loves her brothers and sisters and is a good friend. She is very smart and an awsome athlete. We love you Hanna. Happy Birthday!!!

Makayla and her best friend Shaylee both have March birthdays so we decided to do a combined party and invite girls from our neighborhood. And what a better way to celebrate than with a pajama party. We had all of the girls wear there pj's, played musical pillows and ate yummy smiley face pancakes. It was so much fun and so little work. Thanks Dorie and Nate for all of the help. Another birthday party success. Now Hanna's birthday is just around the corner.
This year we decided to participate in the science fair at Ty and Hanna's school. Since there school is only K-2nd grade they encourage the children to enter as a family so that everyone can help. We found an idea on the internet and the kids actually did most of the project by themselves. They had a fun time. We ended up with sooo much popcorn and our house smelled like popcorn for a few days. It was a great learning experience for them. Next year Tyler will be going to a different school and we will get to do two projects.
OK so this was way back in March, but I thought that I would just share a few pics of the kids skiing. We had a great time this year. Hanna and Ty are quite the little skiers. Makayla had absolutely no interest in even trying this year, but next year we hope to get her and Dallin up there and make it a whole family event. There are tons of great ski resorts around and with such a great winter how could we not take advantage of it. Fun times.
