May 20-31

P3 loves to read P2's books, watch shows, and eat treats:

There was no kindergarten the second to last week of school. Each child had to come in at a certain time for an end of year assessment. Here's P3 waiting while P1 was doing his test.

P3 playing in the dirt. We've been trying to take this stump out, but it is a stubborn one. It is also close to the gas line, so we have to be super careful.

P1 starts tee-ball next week, so we have been practicing: 

My boys:

Lounging around on a Saturday:

P3 all ready to go to school! He is such a big kid at heart! And super adorable!

My sister dropped by one afternoon and brought a bag of kick balls with her.  The kids really enjoyed playing with them.

 

Dad and P2 made a house for her dolls: 

Once again P3 tried to sneak into someone else's bed:

On the last day of carpool, we stopped to get ice cream cones. It ended up being quite a hassle. They didn't have the soft serve ice cream ready, so we had to wait for that. When I tried to pay for it, their credit card machine stopped working. So I had to come back later to pay for it in cash. And P3 ended up eating half of the paper that was on his ice cream cone.

Last kindergarten drop off! I can't believe how fast the school year went by!

Preschool Graduation

P2 had her preschool graduation program. She was very excited for it, and had practiced her part. She really wanted P1 to see the program, so we brought him along since he had no school that day. P3 was left at a friends house, and he was quite sad about that.

The program had barely started, when P2 suddenly burst into tears and ran up to me and put her face in my lap. She wouldn't get up and wouldn't talk to me. About 3 songs into the program, she finally calmed down and went back up. After the program we finally figured out why she was upset. She was sad that her flag wasn't straight.

They did one song where they stomped around like big dinosaurs. P2 had hard time getting the shoes and hat on (mostly because of her headband), and I could tell she was close to losing it again, so I went up to help her. She did great the rest of the program though!

 

They did a bunch of nursery rhymes, and P2 was the little dog who laughed in Hey Diddle, Diddle. She had a really silly laugh to go with it!

Her main part was doing Little Miss Muffet, and she did a great job!

P2 has loved preschool, and loves her teacher. She said that she wants to be a mom and take care of a house when she grows up.

Great job P2! We love you!

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.
