So what have we been up to? Good question...
Courtney- placed 2nd in both the long jump and 400 meter at school, so qualified for the district track meet and made the finals in long jump. She finished up the 4th grade with straight A's for the entire year. She had two fun field trips ( and I got to go on both!) one to the Getty Center and one to visit a mission and the Channel Islands visitors center at the beach. This week she bridged to junior girl scouts and a new troop.
Aubrey- finished up the 1st grade with straight A's for the whole year. She is just a fun girl that always makes us laugh and smile. Her current passion is "Diary of a Wimpy kid". She had a fun field trip to the local zoo, which the boys and I tagged along. She also bridged in girl scouts, becoming a brownie and will stay with the troop that I am leading.
Elijah- tells us every day how excited he is to start kindergarten. He is reading really well. During scripture study the other night, he sounded out beloved on his own, we were pretty impressed! He gave the scripture in primary a couple of weeks ago and it was the 4th article of faith, which he worked very hard to memorize and say all on his own. The whole morning before church he practiced over and over again to Caleb- very cute. His favorite accomplishment of late is making it all the way across the monkey bars on his own.
Christian- He and I have been working hard to organize his preschool group for next year. He loves sunbeams and is getting better at sitting still and listening! His big accomplishment is learning to go underwater at the pool- he loves to dunk at the end of ring around the roses.
Caleb is completely on the move. He is not yet walking but it won't be long. He stands up with anything he can get his hands on and has started to experiment with letting go. He says mama and baba a lot. He still likes to wake up at 4 am, but he is so cute and fun, it is hard for Mark and I not to love that time with him.
As a family, we have kept busy on the weekends with trips to the temple, the beach, the zoo and parks. We were very spoiled through most of May with beautiful weather. This weekend it jumped up into the high 90's and we are very excited for the next 3 weeks to go by quickly so we can get out of the heat to Alaska for a couple of weeks. Yesterday we went and did the "Walk for kids" to support the local Ronald Mcdonald house at the hospital where Caleb and I were last year. The kids made it on the 5K hike and we had a fun day supporting a good cause.
I have been horrible about taking pictures lately...will try to have some next post! Hope all is well.
