Reading

Hannah helping Adam read about baby animals.

I just love this picture and wanted to share it.  There's just something about a little kid helping another little kid read a book.  It melts my heart and the fact that it's my kids makes it that much more special to me.  I have wonderful kids and I feel very blessed every day.

Trafalga Again

Our favorite ride at Trafalga is the boats.  We always leave soaking wet and happy.

Having the Pass of All Passes has been really good and fun for our family.  Cami, who also has the pass, suggested we head to Trafalga after the Bee's game. I thought it was a great idea and I knew the kids would enjoy that more than the baseball game.  We didn't stay long, but we were there long enough to have some fun and get wet on the boats.

The Mighty Bee's

The Bee's up to bat.

Our homeschool school got free tickets to the Bee's game on June 13th (the Bee's are the local minor league baseball team.)  Even though I'm not a huge fan of baseball, I thought the kids may enjoy a day (or at least an hour or so) at the ballpark.  Lucky for us our seats were in the last row of shaded seats, it was very, very hot that day, and we were able to enjoy the game a lot more than if we had been in the sun.  My friend Cami came down with her 3 kids and we enjoyed some time with them.  I always enjoy going places with Cami and she's always good to not think I'm too crazy with all my kids.

 After about an hour and a half the kids, with the exception of Ben, were pretty tired of the baseball game.  They weren't into it and it was hot and they were bored.  I texted Cami, she had different seats than me and she had Sarah Kate as well, and we decided to pack the kids up and head to Trafalga.  The baseball game was fun, but I was glad I didn't pay for it so I didn't feel bad leaving early.

Ben and Hannah watching the game.  Ben loved the game, in part because of the boys behind us who loved it.  Hannah, she was just happy to be out somewhere.

Dan's favorite part was looking for the mascot in his Bee costume.  He enjoyed looking for the Bee as long as he was far enough away that Dan could stay safe.

Our Last 'Babies First Haircut'

On June 2nd we finally gave in to the long hair that was making it hard for Adam to see and decided to give him a little haircut.  It was his first ever haircut and for us it was our last first haircut.  Kind of a bittersweet moment.  Adam did very well though.  He sat still like a good boy and let daddy cut it without any problems.  Like all the kids before him, he looked much older when the haircut was over and both Kenny and I regretted having cut of his cute, long, moppy curls.  Luckily they've grown back a little and he's still just as cute as can be.  I'm still struggling a little about how quickly their growing up, but I'm enjoying it as much as I can in the meantime.

He did such a good job of holding still.

The finished cut.  He's looking so grown up.

Another 10k

Mindy and I after our run.  (Please don't look at my grossness.)

I found a cheep 10k in Ogden over Memorial Day weekend and I decided to call my running mate sister-in-law Mindy to see if she wanted to join me.  We had so much fun running together and definitely need to do more of these races together (to bad we're both mom's and have a hard time finding the time.)

Running to the finish line.  The wind was HORRIBLE at the end and I was really feeling it.

My final time was 54:04, a good improvement over my last 10k, and I was very pleased with it.  Mindy, who had not run 6 consecutive miles yet this year, came in a few minutes behind me.  I thought for sure the weather would be miserable, it was at 10:00 in the morning the last Saturday in May, but it ended up being chilly, windy, and a little rainy.  Perfect for running (minus the wind.)  

Mindy, just about to cross the finish line.
