Graduation and school years have come to an end

Today we had Hagen's Fun School/Joy School graduation. What a handsome little guy! They sang a song called "Decisions" that they have been practicing for a few weeks.

This is Kaleigh the last day of school on May 28th. She was way too excited for summer.

Grandpa Olsen's Grave

We went to visit Grandpa on Sunday, May 30th. It is still a shock that he is gone. We love him and miss him. Mormor with the grandkids, except for little Jace.

Little Sid went from being scared to being a little too friendly with the ducks and geese.

Happy 6th Birthday Kaleigh!!!

My oldest is officially 6 years olds as of May 27th. My sweet girl who has become so independent and smart and is starting to grow up on me. I love her and her beautiful smile. I am blessed as a Mom! Kaleigh blowing out her candles at her friend party we had on June 1st.

We had a beauty party where they painted their soaked their feet and painted their toe nails and finger nails. Where it was just me and all these girls and Hagen I let them paint their own toe nails. Little scary! But we made it through it. We also did strawberry yogurt face masks with oreo cookies. they were extremely cute and giggly for the yogurt part.

She also had Amelyah and Olivia spend the night. Awe, to be six again!

Kaleigh's Dance Recital

Kaleigh had her dance recital this last week. Cute little stinker danced amazingly and was a ball of energy for the rest of the night.

five more mouths to feed!

As some might know I have been talking for a while about building a coop and getting chicks in the hopes of becoming a little more self reliant and creating a situation where my children could have some responibiliites in the hopes that one day this little lesson could totally blossom and they become the most amazingly responsible people in the world. Well, who knows if they will actually be responsible but for my sake I hope they will be. we are just about finished with the coop and so today I picked up the 2 week old chicks. They are definately a hit in our house. We got five chicks and each of us were able to pick a chick that is ours and name it. So, Hagen named his Jared, wonder where he got that name. Kaleigh named hers Diamond. Sidney's is Patches. Jared and I named ours Ralph and Quackers. Since Orem has a no rooster ordinance I told Hagen that Dad would have to kill and eat it if the chick all of a sudden turns into a rooster. Then Hagen said very sadly, "No, then Dad would turn into a rooster." I just had to laugh about that comment.

Kaleigh's Kindergarten Program

Kaleigh is just about finished with Kindergarten. She started Kindergarten not knowing how to do much of anything and she now knows how to read, write lots of words, add/subtract, and lots of other stuff that would probably fill up this whole page if I kept going. On April 28th Kaleigh sang with her class for all the parents and for her Grandma and Grandpa Smith. She did great! Kaleigh with Grandpa & Grandma Smith
