farwell to kindergarten...yea!!!
paxton is done with kindergarten. it was kind of a bittersweet time for him (and me). i wasn't totally in love with paxtons teacher this year, but he loved kindergarten! so that is all that matters right. he was a little confused and upset that he didn't get to go right to first grade. he was not looking forward to summer break. i told him that won't always be the case.
this is one of the little girls that had a crush on paxton. her name is callie. she is so cute. she invited paxton to come over to her house, and he had a great time. hopefully they will be in the same class again next year!
paxton's end of the year program. it was so darling. they showed off some of the things that they learned this year and sang some really cute songs.
paxton and his teacher, Ms. Purdy
my cute, little, soon to be, firstgrader! wow, time flies. i can't believe that i am going to have a first grader!
we went to the south ogden parade today. it was a ton of fun. i can't believe how many people were there this year! (above) ky and her cousin josh were having a great time. everytime a piece of candy was thrown they would run and pick it up with a surprised look. they were facinated that people would throw away perfectly good candy!
lets see how many pieces of candy we can get in our mouths while mom isn't looking!
My cute boys. they were so sweet. there was a little boy next to them that everytime he went to pick up some candy someone would snatch it right before he could. so paxton and wyatt would get a piece for them and then a piece for him. such sweeties huh?
following the rules! a police officer came by telling everyone that they had to be back by the curb. so the kids did what they were told. it is too bad that they don't listen to me that well!
My cousin robyn saved us a place on the street. so it was fun that we got to spend the evening with her cute family. they are so nice and welcoming to everyone. thanks so much robyn, we had a great time!
ky loves her dora sunglasses. it doesn't matter what time of day (or night) it is. she LOVES them. 
this is kysa's classic "cheese" smile. i love it! although sometimes it would be nice to have a picture of her big, beautiful brown eyes open. Oh well. 
I had such a great time in vegas with allans family. they were so nice to invite me to tag along with them. here we are at the cheesecake factory in cesars palace. i had never been there and lieren said it was great and i had to try it. she was right. it was delicious!
mary, me and des. after a long day at the show.
so this is allans cousin lieren and her husband chandler. i know that i mentioned that i had just met them at ricks wedding the week before this. chandler and lier had gotten married in st. george, but this is the reception that they had in chandlers hometown of huntington, utah. so let me back up my story. back at ricks (my brother in law) wedding lieren and her mom invited me to go to vegas with them. i was able to work it out that i was able to go. but before we went to vegas we made a stop in huntington to have THIS reception. it was so beautiful. chandlers dad and mom have a beautiful back yard where the reception was held. what a fantastic looking couple don't you think?
this is des, she is another one of allans cousins that i had never met. we totally hit it off. and spent a lot of time together in vegas. she is sisters with lieren.
allans little brother got married a couple of weeks ago. the wedding was so nice. they had it at the botanical gardens in ogden. we are so excited for Rick and abby. she is such a cute girl, and we are excited to have her in our family! congrats again you guys!
rick and abby had dancing at their wedding so it was fun to get nice and cozy with my hubby. we don't get very many chances to dance with eachother!
my cute kids posing for me. can you believe it? they are all looking at the camera and smiling...too bad the picture had to be alittle blury! oh well, that is how it goes isn't it?
this was the night before bekkie moved back to oklahoma. it was a sad time for me. bekkie and i have become so close in the 2+ years that she and her family have lived here in Utah. i am sure going to miss you both bek and joey!
this picture wasn't actually taken at the wedding, but the wedding is the reason that carrie and gary came out from arizona to stay with us. i can't believe that i didn't snap a picture of them at actual event. carrie looked so pretty! i am so glad that they were able to come and stay with us. we love it when they are here!
this is allans aunt mary, his dad allan and his grandma ronnow. mary and grandma live in st. george. it was fun to visit with them at the wedding. in the seven and a half years that allan and i have been married grandma hasn't ever been out this way (to ogden) so this was a really cool thing to have them here.
we went with some of our friends to their grandmas pool in riverdale. it was so much fun. the kids loved it. they paddled around for hours and hours. but the best part was....
the slide. wyatt would only go down if i was at the bottom to catch him, but paxton was brave and went all by himself.
paxton had such a great time playing soccer this year. it was his second year and i think that the rules and concept of the game finally started to click with him this year! he can't wait to start again this fall. we signed wyatt up for fall soccer as well...that should be interesting!
