Bay singing

Moab, our first camping trip for Summer 2013!

Okay, it wasn't REALLY camping because we stayed at an RV park, but we wanted  to check out the trailer, make sure all was working correctly. It was and I kind of liked having air conditioning, heat, water, etc. without having to stress out! LOL

 We hiked to Corona Arch. It was hot already by the time we got started...about 10 or so in the morning. I'm sure glad we did the hike though. It was beautiful!

 We thought this pyre of rocks was pretty well balanced.

 I tried to take a picture of us with the arch in the background, but the dog walked in the way at the EXACT moment the picture snapped!

 See those people on top??? They're stupid. Swinging down on that rope! Idiots!

 Later that day we got ice cream. Yum.

 And went to a backyard show. It was fun. The kids really enjoyed it...

 especially when they got to help the musician.

 The next day we walked a little bit into the arches. Beautiful place.

 On the way home we stopped by the river. The above picture is them "not getting muddy".

 ha ha!

Mother's Day 2013

 Mother's Day was pretty quiet and simple. We went out for breakfast with Mimi and Pa, and then we tried to play tennis. Not a real fun game for me...I don't like it. But the kids, especially Breccan, had fun. This is the first year, in years, that I didn't do a Mother's Day Brunch. I was just so tired for some reason!

 And oh, how I love thee!

 BayLea took this...I thought it was so cute that I had to have one of the three of us...bottom picture.

Last Days of School

It's hard to believe it's over already. It was just like a blink...

 BayLea's class went on a field trip to the dinosaur museum and downtown. It was really fun! They had a scavenger hunt they had to do and find certain buildings and pick up certain things (leaves from different trees, menus, etc).

 They had a bunch of pianos up and down main street!

 Breccan's class went to the Math and Science Center and to the Botanical Gardens.

 Checking out the meal worms to see which food they preferred.  Breccan's hypothesis was the lettuce "because it is mainly water". It turned out that they liked the cereal first and the lettuce second.

 It was so hot and Mrs. Pearson told them they could run through the sprinklers...it was soooooo awesome.

 Field day was a bit chilly, but still fun. The bottle rockets were the hit.

 The last day of school...unbelievable.

 With Mrs. Pearson...goodbye 1st grade.

With Mrs. Rudolph...goodbye 3rd grade!
