End of School Year Fun

While the boys were at Father and Son’s us girls went out and did fun stuff!  We went to a nursery and bought flowers for our front yard.  Then we went to PF Chang’s for dinner.  It was fun since neither of the girls had been there before.

Jenna and Alyssa finished up their level of Gymnastics.  Jenna can move on from Tiny Tots 1 to Tiny Tots 2 but is taking a summer break.  Alyssa moved from Shooting Stars to Level 2 Team.  She is not taking a break this summer and is actually putting in a couple long hours a couple days every week.  She goes 3 hours for 2 days.  It is exhausting for her but she has fun and is going to improve so much this summer!  She has the makeup of a gymnast!  She is going to be short and she is flexible!

Melanie started (all on her own) a pet service while the owners are away on vacation.  She got her first “client” named Charlie over Memorial Day weekend.  This is fulfilling her desire to own a pet until we can get our own.  She took Charlie on walks and made sure she had plenty of food and water.  She did a great job!  She is such an animal lover and I love that she thought of this all on her own by making fliers and taking them and posting them to people’s doors.  A few days after watching Charlie she pet sat a cat next door for 3 days while they were gone.  She was excited to have made $30 in a week!

We went to the Springville Splash pad and got some sun Memorial Day.  The boys were tanning.  Luckily they tan easily!

Cameron’s last full day of school they had “Mini Society”.  Each 5th and 6th grade student got to pick something to “sell” to all the kids at school.  They were outside all day.  This year Cameron chose to sell hot dogs.  He sold 100 hot dogs!  With his fake money he put it all in to drawings that the 6th graders had.  Unfortunately he didn’t win anything but he had a great experience and he found he really liked cooking hot dogs!  Jenna also liked going as there were many things to choose from.  She settled on hair chalk, a popsicle and cotton candy!  It is like a big party all day outside of the school!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
