We had a family outing to the library and Lyza was in her element
I got to read some books to the little boys
On the last week of school Lyza's special chorus got to perform
Here is one of their songs
One day coming home from work I noticed a bunch of baby spiders on the exterior of the garage. I grabbed the camera and the macro lens before I grabbed the spray
I have never seen them spraying each other while jumping on the trampoline. There is a first time for everything.
Everyone in Mason's class got a beach ball signed by all of the other kids in the class
Here they are on the last day of school
Lyza and her teacher
They always do a family picnic on the last day of school
Mason and his teacher
Nixon and his teacher
Our ward did a family carnival to celebrate the end of the school year, complete with balloon swords
It was a really impressive set up
There were even snow cones
Lyza was a sniper
Hands down the best was the puppet show
Mason got to participate
We all got to try the puppets
The cotton candy was delicious
There was live music and dancing
There was also face painting
Kim's BFF moved
Which also means one of Nixon's friend's moved
Here is Lyza flying the kite she made at school
Lyza got a scorpion sucker and loved it
Grandma and Grandpa Bullock were here for a few days. Grandma even got some help making a quilt.
We attended the grand opening of a new sporting goods store in CDA. There were different vendors and things in the parking lot including a tank
And a Hummer
And some ATVs
There were lots of prizes to be won
Mason found his spirit animal
Kim took her dad road biking
We took Kim's parent's out for dinner to celebrate Craig's retirement
Grandma got to read with the kids
And of course do some puzzles
The boys helped their Grandma and Grandpa watch their stake conference
Nixon got some instruction on doing family history
We all went for a walk to the park
Grandpa got an early father's day gift
We also had a family home evening lesson with a fun game afterward
The library did a magic show we attended the next day and Mason got to go on stage and help out with one of the acts
Henry liked petting the bunny after
To celebrate the end of the school year we took the kids to Kellogg and stayed at the Silver Mountain Resort and played at the water park for a couple of days
Henry got to wear a swim cap because he has some cradle cap that needs to finish healing. He looked so cute and didn't mind it at all.
It was fun to get away without driving too far
And the kids loved the hotel rooms with beds and TVs everywhere
We had lots of fun
Nixon tied for first place in the Panther Prowl so he didn't get a medal right away because the school needed to order more. They told him it would be mailed to him. Every day since school ended he would check the mailbox, sometimes more than once in a day. About a week later it finally arrived
We are proud of him
Mason decided to catch a bee and then put it in the fridge over night so he could handle it safely :)
I got to remove all of this rock from the side of the house so we could replace it with mulch
I took the boys to the landscape yard yesterday to get the mulch
And spend many hours yesterday adding mulch to this area and some other spots in the backyard. The mulch is finally done...kind of. I still need to top up the wood chips in the play area. But we are done with this type of mulch.
That's it for now. Happy Father's Day!
