Kids in My Bed

Come morning time (or even a couple hours into the night) this is what it really looked like in my bed with the kids.

Last Day of School

The bus came early so I wasn't there to get a picture as Sienna got off but she was just as happy as she was on the first day. She loved school and loved riding the bus. The bus driver loved her too and let her honk the horn on her way to and from school on her last day. 



Tanner supervising the movers as they packed our stuff in the trucks. (Same day as Sienna's last day of school.)

Hillcrest Hawk Award

I am so proud of Sienna. She received the Hillcrest Hawk award and was called up in front of the entire school body to receive her certificate. The award was given to two students in each class. She was chosen for her hard work and willingness to help others. So proud of my sweet girl!!


Sienna and Mrs. Headman. We had a great year and loved Mrs. Headman as Sienna's teacher.


This is Sienna's friend, Corban. He is in the afternoon Kindergarten but all students went at the same time the last week of school. I was at the school three different times in the last week and these two were always right by each other. They sat next to each other on the bus too. So cute!!


Sienna and Principal Eagar


Way to go, Sienna!!


Kids chosen from Mrs. Headman's AM & PM classes.

While Daddy was in Texas...

Daddy started work and spent two weeks in which is was a total bummer for everyone but while he was gone we tried to have some fun. The kids slept in bed with me every night which made things interesting but they went to bed earlier and slept later. I might not have slept great but they did. Tanner fell into the BYU duck pond while Matt was away but luckily missed the boulder by inches and managed to not drown. Abby played in a box while I tried to get things done and started to crawl more officially, doing the wounded warrior less and less each day. She also started pulling up on everything and strolling around furniture. Sienna finished school and of course, the kids played some Mario. Two weeks was longer than I've been away from Matt since we met with only one exception and that is when he moved to TX three weeks before me but at that time we didn't have any kiddos. So glad those two weeks are over. We had fun but things are always better when Matt's around.







Sienna's Dance Festival

Sienna did so great at her dance festival and had a lot of fun. I loved watching it and got to see Max (obviously, since they're in the same class), Cole and a lot of kids from our ward. It was super cute and fun.


Sienna with one of her best friends from Kindergarten, Brooke. Brooke is moving to Washington state this summer so we'll have to have them write to each other.


Tanner loves to dance and had fun on the sidelines. He didn't stay on the side lines though and kept running around. CRAZY BOY!! Love him to pieces but he keeps me on my toes.






Irrigation with Grandma

Tanner loves following my mom around and spent the afternoon working in the yard with her and playing in the irrigation. 




Packing Up

I told the kids they could have a penny a hanger they stacked just so I could keep them occupied while I packed up.
