The Start of Summer!

It's August and I am just now blogging May and June and July. Just a leetle beet behind. Oops. Here's a semi short and sweet start to the summer update!

WASATCH ART SHOW

Macie and Reid are superb artists! Here are some of their favorite pieces from the end-of-the-year Wasatch Art Show:

Macie- oil pastel sunflower

Macie- acryllic, mixed media snowman on canvas board

Macie- acryllic flowers on masonite

Reid - grasshopper in the style of Eric Carle, tempera

Reid- self portrait in colored pencil

Reid - motion study in construction paper

END OF THE YEAR DANCE PROGRAM

Reid and his cute partner, Hannah, dance the infamous Kindergarten JELLO dance. He was fabulous!We loved Reid's teacher, Mrs. Whittaker. She told me at the parent/teacher conference that Reid was "an absolute joy to have in class," and that she wished all of her students were "just like him!" Way to go, Reid! What a great year kindergarten was!

Macie dances "In the Jungle" with her second grade class. She was, by far, the best dancer in her grade!
Here Macie poses with her cute teachers, Mrs. Wong and Mr. Evenson. They made learning such fun this year! It was always a blast for me to go and help out in their classrooms, and then share lunch with Macie in the cafeteria afterward. I will really miss these awesome teachers!

SWIM LESSONS

Davis was brave enough to try again this year -- so we started out tame with some basic life saving techniques at Pam Young's swim school. Both Danny J and Davis have really learned some serious swim skills this summer!

Float, Danny! Hold your breath! :)


Swim, Davis! Nice floating!

MOMMA SCHOOL

Each summer I homeschool my kids. This year we had weekly themes -- week one was dinosaurs. The kids LOVED the BYU Palentology Museum and the Thanksgiving Point Museum of Ancient Life. I loved teaching and learning with these smarties! A highlight of the week was "hatching" some dinosaur eggs Daddy brought home for us to incubate. They were SUPER COOL! Thanks, Dad!

T-BALL ALL STAR

Reid finished off the T-ball season with a bang. Here he is with his bat and his team! We think you are awesome, Reid!
