Kindergarten Celebration

Ayo's kindergarten class had a kindergarten celebration, They got shirts that say, I "mustache" off to 1st grade. They go beach balls that they could have their friends sign, and Ayo and his best friend Joe especially loved being able to play on the big kid playground. Ayo was a great kid in Kindergarten, We could not be more proud of him!

Memorial Day Weekend

We decided at the last minute to take a family trip to Utah over Memorial Day weekend, we seriously had SO much fun. Our first night the hotel we stayed at gave us a room with two full beds. Me and Addy were on one and Prince, Samarrah and Ayo shared the other, I was waiting all night to hear Prince fall off, but we all survived :)
We took the kids to Temple Square, It has been years since they have been there. They loved that they could touch the temple. We went into the tabernacle and enjoyed some organ music, and visited the Visitors Center. It was a beautiful day.
We had a lot of fun at our second hotel, we ate dinner in the room, went swimming, and enjoyed each others company. Addy went swimming for the first time and loved it. They had FREE hot chocolate, I cannot say no to hot chocolate, so we had a few cups :)
The drive home was fun, we took our time and made a stop for dinner at McDonalds where Addy tried his first French Fry, the kids thought it was great!
We had a great trip spending time together, Hopefully we can take more trips in the future :) On Monday we went out to dinner with my family and watched a movie in the backyard, it was the perfect ending to a wonderful weekend

Back at Work

Once again we were back at work in my parents back yard, we shoveled and hauled 3 and a half tons of rock into their backyard. It was tough work, but a lot of fun. The kids were GREAT helpers, they really love to work.
