Let summer begin...

A week after school got out, my sisters and I met in St George with all the kids to kick off the summer.

I was so anxious to get my hands on this little cutie. She is such a sweet baby.

We enjoyed the swimming pool everyday.

Lots of games on the back patio.  Such good times!

Walks to the park - Cute sisters, Cute cousins

Fun continues in making donuts with Grandma..

Many Crafts...

Sunday night dance performance.  They all worked so hard on each of their dances.

This has to set the record for the MOST kids in the hot tub.

Grandpa's endless lemonade... even attainable for the littlest ones.

I love this sign that my niece Megan made...

Saturday fun at the Tuachan market.  Fifty(.50) cent suckers and 1.50 earrings were the biggest hit.

 SMORES!

 Hike in Snow Canyon, swimming and rock slide!

June Birthdays! We celebrated at the Anasazi Steakhouse. So cool. Your meat comes out on a 600 degree volcanic rock and cooks right in front of you.

Iceberg shakes!!!

Thanks to a wonderful Grandma and Grandpa for a very fun week start of summer vacation.

birthday wishes ~

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Derek ...

I'm sure there are many others who are just as excited about this gift as you are!!

School Dance Festival '11

T-shirts created, dancing shoes on, hats and bandanas found.  The costumes this year were a perfect fit for the dances.  Better weather couldn't have been ordered and the views were awesome!  

Sara hip-hopped in style to "More"

Madi waits patiently for her turn.  Her dance was to the song of B.o.B.'s "Magic". (Wahoo)

The entire student body on the field getting ready for the finale.  Can you see Sara amongst the crowd?  I looked so hard, but was never able to locate Madi.  I really enjoy seeing all of these students having such a great time.  What a fun end-of-the-year tradition.

And to a wonderful teacher who made the year spectacular for Sara.  Miss Easely sure knows how to make the students excited about learning anything.  I am so grateful that over the years both Madi and Sara have had her as their teacher.  She will be missed!
