Wrapping Up the Spring

 There has been a whole lot of life going on around here lately.  So much to squeeze in before the lazy days of summer start!

I had a piano recital for my 8 students- Adam and Leah played and boy was that piano out of tune.  

All of my students did a great job!

Leah has had concerts galore- choir concert, 

band concert (possibly her last one since she's not signed up for 7th grade band), 

and an orchestra concert. 

Which some of us enjoyed more than others.

Leah and I also squeezed in a temple trip with her Beehive class and leader.

 Adam continues to be happily busy with Cub Scouts. 

Whittling and wood burning- a nine year old boy's dream come true!

Noah started t-ball- his very first sports endeavor.  

It's fun to remember how the sport starts out- lots of scrambling for the ball, spinning around and around when hitting and some running the wrong direction. 

Running for home!

There have been plenty of rainy days, but even more beautiful days for riding bikes and playing in the yard.

Emma has been faithfully marching off to first grade every morning.  She has made a huge improvement from the beginning of the year when she woke up with a grumpy cloud over her head every morning to now, when she wakes up with a smile and a happy attitude (her words, she's helping me write this).  She's most looking forward to summer because she loves swimming and going on picnics. 

 Throw in a bunch of graduation and birthday parties, end of the year projects and parties, and a visiting general authority staying at our house for stake conference, and it's been a pretty full life around here lately.  We're all looking forward to the arrival of summer!
