May Happenings

I must be getting really bad to taking pictures, because I know the month of May was way busier than it appears in this post. We started the month with piano recitals for Carmen and Aliza. I just love seeing them develop their talents in so many different ways. 

Obligatory Mother's Day picture. I sure love all my blessings. 

We had my parents over for dinner and I loved celebrating Mother's Day with my own mother. 

Carmen's ceremony to be inducted into NHS.  I'm so proud of her academic achievements. Her homework surpassed my level of knowledge long ago. She amazes me with how much she knows. I often find myself wondering if I ever knew the sorts of things she knows, and I've just forgotten them. 

Dallin went on a field trip to.... I wish I could remember the name of the place. My poor 4th child.... I didn't even go on this trip. These pictures were sent to me from his teacher! But it sure looks like he had a great time with his buddies. 

Fame had an end of the year banquet and celebrated everyone's achievement from the year. It was fun to get all dressed up and go dance and have a good time. They had to walk the red carpet to enter in and be presented. 

Carmen spent the day at District Band assessments.  I'm not sure what their final score was, but I was told they did very well. 

Dallin's sacrament meeting entertainment.

Sister's make the best kinds of friends. Although they fight incessantly, I know they love each other. My biggest is hope is that they all grow up to be best friends. 

 Dallin's class had a little concert and also showed off some creations they had make in class. 

Aliza's half year cheer season came to an end. While she did try out for and make the full year team, we made the awfully hard decision not to do it because practices are on the same night as church activities. She has decided to do tumbling to keep up already learned skills and to work at gaining new skills in preparation for the next half year season. She has been working so hard on her back flip, I just know she's going to get it any day now!

This day we had to stop on our way home from cheer and capture this gorgeous rainbow that seemed to be following us all the way home.
