Kimbri's Kindergarten Graduation

Well, it happened. Our first-born graduated from Kindergarten! I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by. You hear people say stuff like this all the time, but it really feels like yesterday that she was just starting her first day of the school year! I'm so grateful for her teacher, Mrs. Olsen and how great of an influence and teacher she is to her students. I'm so happy that Kimbri got to spend a year at Maple Ridge Elementary with such great staff and with Mrs. Sarah Matis (I used to babysit her kids as a teenager) as the principal. This school is seriously so fantastic! 

I'm so proud of Kimbri and how well she has done with school. Sometimes you worry and stress over how they will do, if they'll make friends, if they will like it. Especially because Kimbri was one of the youngest in her class. I'm pretty positive that there were kids in the class that were over a year older than her because of kids being held back. But Kimbri still worked hard, played hard and did amazing this year! Here are some picture from her graduation day, and also of the trip to the children's museum we did after graduation:

Bean Museum

Another thing on our Utah Bucket List was to visit the Bean Museum and got to the BYU Creamery. The kids really love the Bean Museum and we've gone several times throughout this last year of living in UT, but we thought it would be fun to go one last time as a family and top it off with yummy ice cream. 

It's so fun to see how much Brenna is growing and learning. She is just growing into this little toddler that loves to try and keep up with her older siblings. She is growing so fast. They all are!

May 2017

May was one exciting month! There was so much to do and to get done in preparation for our move across the country! There was a lot of packing, playing, prepping for our AZ trip for Rick's graduation (I'm going to make that it's own post), also we had Kimbri's Kindergarten graduation (also it's own post)! So here are all our random photos from May:

Olivia's 18th Birthday!

Hadley & Brenna

These two sisters melt my heart.

We decided to squeeze in one last temple date to the
Provo City Center temple. We ate at Los Hermanos after,
my favorite, because it was on my bucketlist.=

We've emptied most of the cupboards and so one of Brenna's
favorite things to do is hide in them.

This picture makes me happy. I loved getting to grow up living near them and
I'm so grateful for them in my life! Sometimes I worry that by moving across
the country I won't get to see them again in this earth life, so I'm extra grateful
for this picture I have with my Grandma & Grandpa Haycock

Her recent obsession: dandelions and cats, haha!

I don't think she liked the feel of the grass...

Went out for ice cream with some great friends
of mine! Amanda was my best friend my senior
year of high school and we still try to keep in touch.
Melissa Moulton was my YW president during high
school. She influenced me for good so much. I don't
think she will ever know how much I look up to her
and appreciate her true friendship to me.

Kimbri made me some cute "Mother's Day" coupons :)

them on our last day in that ward.
