We've almost been here One Year (on the 4th of July to be exact)
and the best part is that we're not moving!
School is finally out and break is just 8 short weeks.
We plan to live it up!
Tuesday we went to a pool party
and Wednesday we went to ward beach day.
Cody finished first grade this week!
Every day after class before he would leave he would run and give his teacher Mrs. Portnoff a hug.
She was awesome. Cody has grown leaps and bounds.
End of the year
Beginning of the year
The fifth graders, as they're leaving elementary for good, get a school wide "clap out!"
Cody had a patriotic concert a few weeks ago I'll sneak in here.
A couple random phone dump pics...
This is the Lake Powell hair. And it is awesome and never has to be done for at least 10 days. Maybe longer!
Cody's Best Friend, Clayton, his cousin.
Macey finished preschool!
She was grumpy the whole morning on the morning of "graduation." I finally realized it was because she was sad, so I asked her if she was sad preschool was ending.
She started sobbing.
I told her she would still see her friends and one of them would go to the same school as her.
The siblings are just getting started:)
Macey also finished a year of dance.
Considering she doesn't love dance, she did awesome and really loved going to class to see her friends.
We weren't supposed to take pictures at the recital, but I snuck some in:)
they're crappy ones, but they count.
Macey and Mrs. Jenielle after the recital.
Her maskara is a little runny since she took a pretty good fall in the hallway:)
She did So good at the recital and I love that she smiled so cute during the performance:)
Right next to our garden is a butterfly garden with Tons of caterpillars
Today was the first day we saw a chrysallis.
And This....
This is why I wanted a garden.
My first bowl of fresh salsa.
Life is good.
This picture maybe looks staged but it was all just sitting there all sanitary like begging to be photographed-these Kale and Chia Wild Chips are my favorite chips in the whole world.
My last thing if you are growing zucchini.
I made some
Zucchini Apple Crisp (click) for my family and didn't tell them that the apples aren't really apples at all. They devoured it and loved it and it's all Zucchini!
This is the coolest "hidden vegetable" dessert I've ever made. If I didn't make it myself I would swear the zucchini ARE apples. It looks just like apple crisp!
As for our living it up summer!...today we're doing nothing and it's exactly what I wanted to do:)
