track

Ab did track this year and really enjoyed it and we all enjoyed watching her at the track meet. Ab loves being involved and anything that has to do with sports

Dance and Piano Recital

First of May was our Piano Recital and the kids did great!! And then the next week was our dance recital. They each performed 2 dances and did an awesome job. Ab did a Hip Hop dance that was her favorite it look like she was really having fun on the stage. Grac did a dance that she held a glass candle and she told us she had to be very careful so she didn't break the glass. Mat really liked both her dances and she just loves to dance

kittens

Peyton found these kittens at the farm last Sunday in kind of a bad way, Mom was dead and so were some of the kittens. There were 3 but one died on us. Now I have a love hate relationship with cats I like you at the farm killing mice but please do not touch me I am allergic. But I could not leave them there and they were not doing very well so we brought them home. The kids fed them with syringes and taught them how to lap milk these 2 are doing really well so we finally named them Sam and Bo and in a few week they will return to the farm to kill all the mice.

We had ducklings at our farm and ended up bring them home because the daddy ducks were not very nice we had 11 and 8 drowned. I feel like Peterson Rescue and am not the that brave I don't like to touch animals. The kids have done a great job at doing all the hands on stuff I just tell them what to do.

I would show pictures of the ducks cuz they are cute but my blog is giving me a bit of stress

Matts Busy week

Matty read a story to her class this week she was really excited. She read them My Dog Clifford and did a great job. Matty has become a great reader.

She also earned her Liberty Kid badge and school.

Amazing Opportunity

Matt got the opportunity to perform 2 numbers with BYU Ambassadors. Her first number she got to act like they were having fun she bounced a ball, pretended to be an animal, and to play a musical instrument. In the second number called bedtime story she was the little girl being read to by her mom and dad, it was a princess story and at the end they put the princess crown on her and she thought that was way cool. She did a great job and we are so proud of her.

To get to some of the places we go we ride the Metro which is like a train that runs under the ground. Its kind of fun and very entertaining

The castle was a monument on top of a hill called round top to show that part of the war was fought there. It made a great look out put for the war.

Yes that was a Cannon used in the War they could shoot a mile away. It took 6 horses to pull them around.
