end of school programs...

The last 2 weeks have been pretty busy! Noah had his 2nd grade program first. It was super cute and fun to see them sing songs talking about what they learned that year! This was the first program that I actually saw Noah sing the words and do the actions. In years past and even in primary he isn't a big fan of performing, but he really seemed to enjoy singing and being with his friends.


Next up was Zach's 1st grade program. It was a patriotic themed hour filled with lots of dancing and singing. As always Zach is such a ham. They all looked so cute in their red, white, and blue shirts.


Last year we began a tradition of going camping on the last day of school. It was so fun and so we decided to make it happen again this year. The weather looked kinda iffy so we ended up just going for the evening. It was sunny, but SUPER windy. It was quite the task to get the fire going. We ate our dinner quickly so that they sand wouldn't get into it. It always amazes me how kids don't seem to mind the wind, sand, and temperature! We will have to try again in a few weeks when the weather decides to get warm and STAY warm.


This picture of Zach cracks me up!!! The things this kid thinks up just makes me laugh. He said that the fire was too hot to stand up and roast his marshmallow, so he decided that lying down was the next best course of action.

And finally yesterday was Memorial Day. We had a pretty casual day. Later in the afternoon we headed over to my parents club house pool and enjoyed swimming. Once again the kids didn't seem to mind that it was only 70 degrees, overcast, and windy. They just enjoyed being in the water finally!





I am hoping to weather through the first few weeks of summer. Things tend to be a little rocky until we get into our summer routine, but so far so good. This morning the boys were up and chores done before breakfast. It was fun to pull out our summer writing journals from last year and look at all of the fun they wrote and drew about. All 3 were eager to add their first page to this years section! Hooray for summer!
