Visit to the Capitol

We visited the Utah Capitol building with my family so that we could see Abraham Lincoln's signature. It was here with other transcontinental railroad artifacts for the 150th celebration of the Golden Spike. The signature we saw was on the 1862 Pacific Railway Act, and it is only put on display once every decade in order to preserve it.

P3 had fun running up and down the stairs. But he also did a lot of pouting because we wouldn't go where he wanted to go.

May 13-19

Being silly in the car:

P2 did her own hair again: 

We went to the church parking lot to ride bikes with friends. P3 figured out that he could coast down a little hill. It was adorable. P1 was getting better at riding his bigger bike. Now to work on getting ride of training wheels...

  

P1 had his kindergarten program. He did a great job singing all the songs. He's had a great year at kindergarten. I keep having adults stop me to tell me that P1 is such a good kid. He is pretty great!

They had cookies at the end of the program, and P3 made quite the mess. And then he climbed on me and covered my white shirt in chocolate... 

 P3 likes to pull out P2's clothes and try to put them on:

And P3 loves his shows! One of his favorites is The Lion Guard.

PE and I celebrated our 11th anniversary. The kids had a sleepover at Grandma's house. We ate at the Zaferan Cafe, a  middle-eastern restaurant.

Dad took us on a surprise trip to Temple Square. It was a little chilly and rainy, but the kids enjoyed it. P3 really liked the Christus statue, and would keep pointing to it. It was sweet.

We enjoyed a Sunday dinner at Grandma's house. My brother gave my mom a pickle ball set for Mother's Day, and P3 had a blast with it.

P3 trying to drive my brother's car:

First swim of the summer at Grandpa's pool!

Sidewalk chalk: 

P1 likes to "climb" a tree in our front yard. Really, he just hangs on the one branch he can reach.

Fun at the park:

 Linus and his blanket:

P2 has taken to doing her own hair, and putting lots of flowers in it!

Fun at the NSL Kite Festival:

There wasn't very much wind, so the kites had a hard time:

There was a clown that did a magic show, and P1 got to help with the final act. He made cookies appear instantly!

P2's present and note for me on Mother's Day. I love the things kids say about their moms! She also had a little pot that she painted at preschool for me. It had a live flower in it, which we didn't know. It was in a brown paper bag for a few days, so the plant wasn't doing so well.

P1's gift for me from Kindergarten:
