A not so warm day to swim

We had a stake activity this past weekend at the water park in Roy. We had fun except we were missing the sun. The rain held off for a few hours, but the sun was no where in sight. We even had ice cream pops to top off the evening. The water was warm and we had to run from one pool to another just to stay warm. We were glad to check this place out. We definitely will come back when the weather decides to become warmer.

New do

Ashlynn has been wanting to cut her hair for the last few months. I told her to wait until after her dance concert, thinking she would forget. Nope, because right after her dance concert she says "Okay, lets get my hair cut right now". She is so funny! We finally got some time and had it done last week. The "new do" totally fits her fun personality.

She had to have her llama in every picture.

Team & Dance photos

Carter's baseball team photo. They are the Colorado Rockies. Carter is on the back row on the right. It took me a minute to pick out my own kid because he looks so much older in this picture. Matt was one of the coaches.

Ashlynn's dance class photo. Ashlynn had two dance costumes for her performances. She also looks much older in these photos.

Year-End Revue

The dancing year has come to an end. Ashlynn had her end of the year revue and she did so good. She remembered all her dance parts and she was proud of herself. She is so fun to watch on stage. At the end of the concert a few dancers were recognized and earned a dance bag from the studio for having perfect attendance to all their dance classes. I think that is something to be proud of too. Ashlynn will start up in August again to do all over again. The girl loves to dance!

Matt's Birthday

Matt's birthday was Friday 6/3. We had fun celebrating his day. We ate dinner at Matt's favorite place Mongolian BBQ. We haven't eaten there in many years, it was before we had kids and we would get together with friends back in Boise. Then, we saw the movie Kung Fu Panda 2 and then headed home for cake and played some basketball. It was a fun evening!

Ashlynn's 1st Pedicure

Ashlynn has been wanting to get her nails done for a while. She used some of her birthday money to have her nails painted with some fancy art done on them. She sat in a fun butterfly chair and her foot bath water changed colors. She loved the whole experience and wanted to go back the next day to do it again.

I love the polk-a-dots and the cute flowers on her toes.

She has to show them to everyone she sees. She is very proud of them!

New wheels

The process of getting Ashlynn to ride a two wheeler has been two years in the making. We told her that she couldn't get a new bike until she could ride without training wheels on her old little bike. Well, the plan changed since her bike got stuck to the front of Matt's jeep and he was unaware until he headed down our driveway and her poor bike got smashed as it scraped its way down the driveway. So, we had to say goodbye to the little bike and get her a bigger new bike. The only catch was that we would not put training wheels on the new bike. She then was forced to learn and she has been doing great. She is still a little nervous and not very confident, but she will get better. She is pretty proud of herself and loves the new bike.
