June 2017

June consisted of 2 trips, which are coming in their own posts later.  And then besides those 2 trips I had crazy amount of work to do so not a lot else happened but here's a few pictures from the month.

One day we had the pool to ourselves.  This doesn't happen often (well it would if I could get them to the pool earlier but I've had a lot of morning meetings lately so we usually go in the afternoon.) so they were pretty excited.


I don't have snapchat but when Instagram came out with these, my kids were so excited to try them all out.


and finally we got to go to our NKOTB concert.  Seriously, such a fun concert.  We loved singing and dancing and wearing matching shirts.  Paula Abdul opened for them and that was actually better than I thought it would be.  They will always be my favorite boy band and such fun memories from growing up and being obsessed with them.


And although I don't have any Father's day pictures cuz my phone data all got erased (luckily I only lost a hike we went on that weekend and Father's day pictures) we did celebrate Shane's birthday in June as well.  Shane and I went to the Def Leppard, Poison and Tesla concert at Usana and had a fun night.

May 2017

Besides our trip to Green Valley, finishing the school year, and doing our annual Happiness Book, we had a lot of other things going on in May.

We took an inpromtu trip to Jungle Jim's for $2 Tuesday...they love that place.


If you're ever in Draper, you should head over to this Farm Park off of Bangerter...my kids love this park.  It has a fun farm house and of course their favorite is the tire swing that they go so high and fast on and love it.


We learned what a selfie stick is and practiced using it.


We did crafts and Aria's current obsession of looking through this Pokemon book that we checked out from the library.


Randomly one night we took the training wheels off Jaron's bike and after about 30 seconds he was riding around the driveway.  He has perfect balance but the whole time kept crying 'I think I'm going to fall' as he went around and around and around.


Jaron finished his soccer season.  He got this medal and pretty much thought it was the coolest thing ever...and yes he even slept with it that night.  When I asked him if he wanted to play this fall he said 'Will I get another medal?'


Shane took the kids fishing at Highland Glen park one morning and surprisingly they each caught a fish.  They were tiny and were thrown back but they were so excited they each caught one.


Our neighborhood had a movie in the park the last day of school.  It was actually freezing and kind of windy but the kids thought it was so fun.


Our family finished The Book of Mormon this month so to celebrate finishing we took them to temple square, visited the church history museum and then over to the food court to play on the dinosaurs and eat McDonalds.  They loved seeing the replica of the Moroni that they see on top of all the temples.







Our pool opened up at the end of May and the kids were so excited for their first swim of the season.

Savvy Kids Preschool end of year

Pre-school is out for the year!  We had such a great year and have loved our time at Savvy Kids Preschool the last 2 years.



Jaron has learned all his letters, sounds and can write all the letters.  He knows his shapes, colors and numbers and can count to 40.  He had a cute group of boys in his class this year but every time I asked him who he sat by his answer was always Charlotte (right behind him in the class picture wearing green).  These were his school pictures for the year.







Jaron had his cute end of year program where he sang his heart out.  He really knew every word to every song and it was cute to watch him look over at this sisters in the audience after each song getting their approval.  They sang the same songs last year so he knew they knew them all.  In the program they asked him what he wants to be when he grows up...A Drummer!



Although we are sad he won't be going to Savvy kids next year (I'm happy not to be driving over to Draper every day) we signed him up for the pre-school program at the elementary school the girls will be going to.  He's so excited he gets to go to 'Ridgeline Home of the Raccoons' next year.  And I'm happy he will be going 4 days a week at the same time his sisters will be going.  I'm not going to lie,  a few hours a day with all 3 kids in school at the same time sounds a little fun right now.  These are his first and last day pictures.



Siena and Aria also had a great year.  They've learned to count by 5's, 10's and even 2's.  They learned all their sight words and have grown a ton in their reading.  Here are their cute pre-school pictures for the year.




They had the cutest graduation program.  They came out singing 'Never Grow Up' by Taylor Swift.  I had never heard the song before and I got all teary watching them walk out in their cap and gowns singing this song.  It was cute cuz Aria walked out and then Siena right behind her and instead of standing spaced out like everyone else was, Siena stood right next to Aria with her little shoulder behind Aria's.  And Aria seriously had the cutest little smile singing that song.



At the end of the program they gave out little awards with a candy that went along with it. Siena got the 'Extra' award for always going the extra mile and getting her work done without ever having to be asked or reminded.  Aria got the 'Caramelo' award because she is always easy going and so sweet to everyone.  I thought both those awards described them perfectly.  I have loved watching them grow and learn and they are so excited to be going to Kindergarten next year because then they get to play on the play ground during school!



First and Last day pictures:



All 3 kids came home with cute little portfolio books, writing books and coloring books.  They were all bound nicely and so fun to be able to keep for years to come.
