May happenings!

 Bugs Play!  I absolutely love this play sooo much

It's a Darnell classic and seriously the cutest play. Mia was

a monarch butterfly.

 Mia and Kira singing away...

She had two performances, so one grandma came to the morning and the other in 

the afternoon.

 cute girls! all have been together since they were babies.

 off to field day, Rick came and was in charge of a water game

so that was fun, and here is Mia dancing away at the dancing/otter pop station

 Mia , Kira, and Rose

 Mia and Kira BFFs

 Then they had a water fight with 2nd grade teachers if they earned

200 or more Reading Counts points. This is super hard to do. Mia earned 268 and

probably read 10 chapter books and a ton of other ones. 

There were 8 kids who got to participate in the fight.

 Mia's dance rehearsal Thursday

 Recital day!

 Surf's Up

She's telling me this is her last year because she's focusing on golf, but I don't know

she really did a great job this year!

April happenings

 my dad was able to give Rick the priesthood a few weeks before he

baptized Mia so that was pretty awesome.

 the kids beg every day to ride their scooters to 

grandmas so have gone twice now and the first time,

it was Earth Day so we picked up trash all the way up. 

They were so cute on their scooters and Kellan is a really good listener

when it comes to being on the road, with no sidewalks, he stays really close to

his sister and watches her for directions. It's really cute.

 Kellan has been doing indoor soccer and just

loves it. His coach can't believe he's only 3 and how good he is

with the ball. Rick said he's always diving to the ground so he thinks he

might be a good goalie one day.

 Nicole and the kids were driving through Vegas after Spring Break and

this is the ONLY pic I got, but so glad I got it. Mia just loves her cousin sooo much.

It really is adorable.

 Kellan at Home Depot

 Me with the kids :) and yes still in a coat,

 this weather is 

ridic...

 we went up to Redrock one Sunday and the kids had a blast

at the new visitor center and we even did a hike.

 Vegas waterfall hahaha

 

running through the water

 Mia had her first "official" golf tournament and it was tough

There was a huge rule book and we weren't too familiar with it all,

so she didn't do as well as she would have liked- I guess she got stuck in the sand trap

so that was an automatic -40 etc. All the other girls have been going to every tournament forever

 and all know eachother, go to private schools, pay $150 an hour for a lesson, and mostly Asian 

which I had no idea they train girls for golf very young,

so Mia has a gift but she will have to work really hard and we aren't rich

so Rick will be working overtime to pay for it all, but she says it's her niche and

she grins ear to ear even talking about it, so we are supporting it all the way and

we will see if it goes anywhere.

 I was very proud of her for not knowing anyone and dealing with all the

pressure. Plus I think golf clothes just fit her perfectly!!

 medal time

 Coach Joey who I'm pretty sure is Mia's first crush

but she works really hard for him and he's awesome and

just adores her and has such high hopes!
