Kingergarten Program

No matter what I do, I end up sitting on the opposte side from where my children are performing. Still got some pretty good pics around the back of the teacher's head!! Counting to 20 in sign language.

Singing parts of the face/head in Spanish.



I'm a VIP in my family!

I was too far away to pick up the sound very well. Listen close and you can hear his part.

Months of the year macarena.

ABC rock

You are my sunshine.

Lagoon

On Memorial Day, Daddy surprised everyone (including Mom) by using his extra duty pay from work to buy Lagoon Season Passes for the whole family. So off we went to Lagoon! We expected awful crowds for the holiday, but it wasn't very crowded. I guess everyone headed out of town. (When we got to church Sunday, there were TEN cars in the parking lot!! Everyone was gone.) Of course, everyone's favorite ride was Rattlesnake Rapids. Especially Jarod. This is the ride we went on first, and second, and third, and . . . I think we went on it about 8 times before finally moving on to something else. Thank goodness for no lines! This was Jarod's first ever trip to Lagoon. I don't think he realized that there were amusement parks outside of Disneyland. He was fascinated by everything.


Everytime we went on this ride, Dean ended up being the one to go under the waterfall and get soaked. Too funny.

Road Trip

Well, the rain has returned. Today we decided a road trip in the rain would be more fun than sitting around stuck in the house so we decided to head up American Fork Canyon. By the time we got to Highland the rain had pretty much stopped and the sun was popping out, so we were able to get out of the car and play a bit.As you can see, the water coming down the canyon is very high right now - it is spilling over it's banks in most places. Everything is so green and pretty!Tibble Fork Resevior is also very high. Water is gushing out over the spillway. I had Jarod pose for this great shot. Do you love his outfit? He actually generally has better fashion sense, but I guess he was preparing for any kind of weather. It worked out great because those boots were perfect for wading!
Of course the boys went right for any rocks they could climb. Jarod particularly couldn't wait to stop driving and start heading up the hill. Lindsie wouldn't even get out of the car!It didn't take long for all my boys to head up the rocks (even Joey). Once again, check out the awesome outfit!

We had a nice quiet day. Sometimes it's nice to just "head for the hills." By the time we got back to West Valley, it was raining again. It still is! Nice wet Memorial Day Weekend. Oh well. Better than sweltering hot, and the rain smells good!
