6th Grade Graduation

These three boys- the 3 Stooges, the 3 Musketeers- have finished up with Elementary school and will be heading on to Middle School! I don't know if I am ready for that to happen.....

High Honor

Super proud of McKenzie for making the High Honor Roll at school this year! She finished the year off with a 3.9 cumulative GPA! Way to go Miss Smarty Pants!!

The End of a Season (for 2 weeks)

This last season of soccer was a tough one. Their fall season was HARD! We lost or tied almost all our games and so were dropped a division for for spring. During that time there were boys who felt like they were better than the team and switched teams in the middle of the year. BUT these cute boys worked HARD and ended up in 3rd place. I am proud that they were able to stick together and be strong as a team. Way to go Surf!

Crazy

Hehehe! I love that we can have fun and be CRAZY together! These were taken on Mother's Day!

Payson Temple

We were able to go to the Payson temple open house this year. I was blown away by how beautiful it was! I always love the temple, how beautiful inside and out they are. BUT I think that this one is my favorite by far! The colors, the woodwork, the fabrics... If I could have chosen anything- it would have probably looked like this temple. I love to see so many temples starting to dot the earth!

I love to see the temple!!!

St. John Family Ranch

I love it when we get the chance to go down to St. John (now known as Rush Valley) to visit the Caldwell family ranch. This is where my Great-Grandma Hazel Morgan Caldwell Skeen, was born and raised. There is so much family history there! Here are a few pictures from our adventures there:

The kids were pretty excited to meet Jed the horse.

Checking out one of the old houses that were there. (Believe this was Uncle Frank's house)

Enjoying the soda they were able to get out of the old fashioned soda machine.

There is nothing quite as fun as flying a kite out in the middle of no where!

Abby taking a ride on Jed.

Kenzie getting her turn riding the horse.

Cameron riding Jed.

Before we left we were able to go to the cemetery and see some of the family graves. While we were there there was a dog that just fell in love with McKenzie! Everywhere she went this dog was right with her, jumping up on her and loving her. It was so fun!

Crazy Utah Weather!

Utah has always been known for its crazy weather. It's often been said that if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes! Andy was that the case back in April!!

This first picture is of the WIND. On April 14th the wind blew harder than I have ever seen it!! In fact it blew so hard that our trampoline took flight! In the 8 years we have had our tramp it has never blown away! But it did just that. Luckily it blew up and over the fence, missed the neighbors trees and other backyard stuff and landed safely upside down. When Pug got home from work we went over, took it apart, and brought it back- piece by piece (it was still blowing wind really hard!)

That wind kick up dust- a lot of dust! And then the rains started. Well, you know what happens when you mix water and dirt, you get mud. So with all the dirt in the air and the rain coming, it started to rain MUD! This is a picture of my front window with mud on it (it got MUCH worse as the storm went on).

The wind settled down a little bit at night. When we woke up I was not expecting to see this out my window! This was only the second snowstorm we had all season!

Yep, Utah surely has some strange weather!
