Dancing in the Parade

Both the girls got to be in the Fair parade this year.  Sydney danced and Shelby cheered.  Then we headed to the fair and rode rides for family night and had a fair burger.

Grandma Munns' 90th Birthday

We celebrated my Grandma's 90th Birthday in August.  It was also the same weekend as Garland's Wheat and Beat days so we had plenty of things to do and have fun.  We had it at the Tremonton Library Park where they just opened a splash pad the week before.  We invited friends and distant family to stop by and visit with grandma, it was nice to see family form all sides show up.  I love my Grandma so much and remember always going to her house on holidays to play with cousins and eat.  She always made the best ham and homemade rolls.

Me and the kids with Grandma Munns.

My mom's cousin let us borrow his bounce house and extra large slip-n-slide.  The kids loved it and played none stop on them all day.

My cousins daughter, Regean, made cupcakes and shaped them into a 90, they were VERY good.

Shelby not quite making it all the way down.  Later that night we all met at the Garland Park for the fireworks.  It was a great day to celebrate a wonderful woman, who had a hand in raising me and my cousins.  We have a great family.

Summer Ball

We spent a lot of time at the ball park this Summer.  Garland City started their own league this year and had all the games at the same park, it was really nice to be able to go to one place, especially when all the kids were playing at the same time.  Sydney played machine pitch co-ed baseball and did really well.  She played short stop and 3rd base most of the time.  Her coach was great and had regular practices.

Shelby and Preston played t-ball on the same team, which helped so we didn't have to be to 3 games.

 Shelby and Preston's team got first place for getting the most outs in the season.

Sydney's league played a one day tournament at the end of their season, the ended up taking 3rd place out of 7 teams. 

Memorial Day

 The kids at my dad's grave.  We miss them all so much.  I'm glad that we are able to visit when we want and that my kids get to help put up the Vetern's flags every year.

Sydney's puppet show

Sydney's class read Charlotte's Web and then made a large mural of the barnyard.  She made Charlotte.

 Sydney's 3rd grade class had a puppeteer come and show them how to make puppets and to do a puppet show.  Her group did the show "The Lion and the Mouse".  All the groups did great!

Shelby's Kindergarten Graduation

Shelby graduated from Kindergarten with flying colors.  The classes did a little singing program for family and did a great job.  All the kids did wonderful, they sang songs about colors, letters, and shapes.

Dance 2013

Spring was full swing dance, with extra practices, competitions, and dance review.  The girls love dance, I love watching them get better and better every year.
