Cousin Sam, Ben & Justin

Baseball

Ben had a blast with baseball this year. His season just ended and his team made it to the championship game and took 2nd place.

Preschool Grad

Tabi graduated for preschool in May. She got the Tomboy Princess Award since she has no problem getting down and dirty and in the next second loves to be prissy and girly.

Geography Bowl

Ben's class team won at the school so they got to go to the competition with the other charter school in the valley. His team won the 4th grade competition!

8th Grade Field Trip

I got to chaperone Caleb's grade party and of course Tabi had to come too. They went miniature golfing, had pizza, and played at a park near our house. The picture with Caleb and his friends Connor and Noah is them wearing some shirt the girls in their class made for them as a joke. They were also given girly flip flops, rings, sunglasses and headbands to go with the outfit. It was pretty funny.

Soccer kids

Justin
Tabi, Justin, & Lizzie played recreation soccer this spring. Here are some shots from their games. Caleb played competition soccer and was a referee for rec. He loved getting some money in his pocket. They had a great time and although they were sad to have it end, Mom was ready to slow down a little.

Dance recital

In April, Lizzie and Tabi had their dance recital. They did a great job and danced wonderfully. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a picture of Lizzie dancing. It kept going blurry and Bob was in Boston for a conference.

Temple Flowers

Lizzie took these at the Timpanogos Temple the day Nicole was married. Very impressive photographer.

Lincoln Wedding

One of the families that we love who live in NY were out in April for their daughter's wedding. It was sooo great to see the Lincoln clan and Chelle too.

Tabi's 5th Bday

Tabi had a wonderful birthday. She took her best friend Mackenzie from across the street to lunch at McDonalds, went to story time at the library, and had chicken nuggets and fries for a second time that day for dinner. She was thrilled with her gifts!
