Teagan did some track through the rec. center during spring. He did the 4 x 4 relay, long jump, and the 200 meter dash. It was fun to cheer him along with Sam Sorenson and Kade McPheters. I was so proud at how hard he tried. Unfortunately he did not make it to district or state, but he had a good time.
Jancinda is a busy girl. She just graduated High School and is working at Poki Bowl. She has enrolled at Salt Lake Community College and is working towards going on a mission next year. This summer she wants to work and spend as much time with friends before starting her "adult life." Just a little side note, I cheered so loud at her graduation, McCabe told me to quiet down. I smiled and told him not to worry, I will be just as loud when he graduates. I even ordered cowbells for the next graduation.
I love where we live. We get incredible lightening storms from time to time. I barely escaped this one before it got to our house. The views over the valley were amazing.
Every 5th grade student gets to do a decade day. That is when the student gets selected to report on a decade. This year Teagan got 200 to 2009. He had to research the events, political, social, and worldwide during that time. He also dressed like a person from that time and shared some cheeze puffs which were a popular food during that decade. He did a super job.
Xavius got to spend a week with us during the end of May. We love having him. He was a big help with setting up and fixing flags for Memorial day and building a chicken coop for our new chickens.
Xadia is loving her volleyball. She has gotten very good for her age. She has a great time playing with her cousin Canda Squire. The both go to Hive Volleyball to practice.
June started off with Jacinda getting her wisdom teeth removed. (She was out for a week but recovered nicely.)
Two days later family joined us for the rest of June. We had the Stubbs visit from Texas along with Edmund and Kaleel from West Virginia. They came up so the older boys (14+) could to go to the all stars camp. We had so much fun. Amy made strawberry jam. We went swimming, hiking, rope swinging, and made forts in the hallway for sleeping. We also all took a quick trip to Washington to visit Doug's family and Steve Fisher. I have never been in a car where kids farted so much. They made a game out of it and it was super annoying. They kept saying "door knob," or "after shock" when they farted to warn everyone they might want to roll down their windows. Besides the flatulence issue, it was super fun with more cousins. While in the Northwest we ate at VooDoo donuts, saw fungal apples on oak trees, had a BBQ, and rode quads.
After returning home from Washington, we went to the Saratoga Spring Temple open house. It was absolutely gorgeous. I always love to see the color scheme. This one was done in a blue, lavender, and cream. We are so blessed to have temples on the earth. Not many people know that but in time they will. After the open house, we went to the BYU creamery and got some yummy ice cream. That was a big hit. Then we took Lance to BYU so he could unpack and get acquainted with his new dorm life. It is sometimes hard for me to realize these cute little babies are growing up. It has been such a treat watching these kids (the Stubbs and my own) grow up and become adults.
Jacinda and McCabe are so busy being social with their friends and working, any time they are home, they are usually asleep.
