End of May

Adalyn is so photogenic!
not thrilled that zach wasn't dressing up for the picture.


Hair salon time!
The beautician.


So cute!
I think I took this one on accident lol



Zachary played baseball for the first time.  It was coach pitch and he loved it.

lookin' good!
Rob was the assistant coach, and Zach's best friend's dad was the head coach.
Makayla did her state presentation on Louisiana, where 2 families of cousins live now.
Fun preschool activity I wasn't a part of.


Makayla and the twin's friends gave us their playground.  Makayla had a ribbon cutting ceremony, with the help of the neighbor kids.


She and the friend that gave it to us gave speeches (this friend came with us to the library ribbon cutting and open house...though we showed up at the tail end of that on purpose.)





Emma's hair is soo pretty.  I saw a picture where someone dyed their hair the same color as hers, though the light parts and dark parts where all throughout.

enjoying the new playground (look at that green grass!  It's only nice for a few months of the year)
playing at the playground where Zach plays baseball.  Happy at the bottom.
Adalyn's nervous at the top.
Matthew got an award at school.
High fives all around.


My cousin got married in provo, so my brother and I took a picture at the reception for everyone else who couldn't make it from our family. (Rob and I brought the kids to show off to all my aunts and uncles...Makayla and Michael know my aunt 3 yrs older than me and her kids that are their ages.)
It was soo fun to see all my aunts and uncles (only the one my age couldn't come...well, and my mom, my parents are on a mission)
My aunt and cousin dancing.  I stayed at their house for a week before I went to college, when he was just a little tyke...maybe 3 yrs old?
Cutting the cake.

I love when this picture pops up on my background.  I want to print this head shot for an updated picture on the wall.

Zach's award from his teacher fits him well.
Remember when eggs were $20+ for 5 dozen?!  They didn't stay this low, but I sure bought some this day!
Emma makes a nice horsey.
Happy sister.


Adalyn helping me in the garden.  Emma did chalk in her hair.


Rob and I went to a fun wedding reception for one of his co-workers.  It was in Spanish fork!!  The photobooth was fun.


finally warm enough for water balloons!
Makayla found a beautiful butterfly.
Emma sorting her colors before breakfast.
Rob pitching to Zach.
playing at the playground before the game (Emma, Joseph, Adalyn, Makayla)
Happy Zach
Happy Adalyn.  (we called this longsleeve shirt her "pajama sweater" lol

Graduations

Christopher graduated from High School!! 
Graduation happened at UVU.

pics with friends after.



What?! He actually graduated?!
No diploma?!  (They got their diploma when they turned in their cap & gown.)




There was bad traffic so we missed him walking in, but this is them leaving.
They are supposed to pause at this point, but he just walked by, hence the blurry picture.  It was tricky because we didn't know which group of friends he was sitting with, so every time we recognized a name, I had my phone ready.  
Some pictures at home before.
I wished we had taken a picture with Rob and Christopher and I at graduation (we left the other kids at home)

Adalyn doing tricks


This is a common background for my phone.
Emma graduated from her co-op preschool




Christopher with his friends at seminary graduation.  I tried following him around like paparazi, but he was just trying to hide from me or something.  Ethan, Bryce, and Camden.



Makayla had fun taking pictures with her friends after 5th grade graduation
These 2 were in the same preschool class and their sisters were in the same 5th grade class.
more friends
Her teacher.
More friends



Adalyn wanted in on the pictures.

Michael wanted to be excused from school, so I said only if he came to graduation.  Then he kept leaving to walk around the school to see if any of his old teacher's doors were open.

Makayla's turn.



I took a video of what her teacher read about her.

 singing with her class.  All the feels with so many graduations this year.
