I helped chaperon Jonah, Ezra and Esther's classes when they went to the bowling alley to celebrate doing 100% of their homework for the 3rd quarter. There were a lot of gutter balls for Esther's class until they put bumpers down!
We watched Hannah on pointe for the 2nd year in Sleeping Beauty.
I helped out at Noah's 6th grade dam field trip. The entire 6th grade, 200+ students, were at the dam from 8:30-2:45. Noah's science teacher had organized the 6th grade teachers to each be in charge of different stations in and around the dam that the kids would spend 30 minutes at each. It was so well organized and the students were interested and engaged in learning.
I have loved having Hannah work on one of her Personal Progress value projects because she is learning to make 10 different recipes. I love to cook and bake and it is fun sharing this with her. She made my sheet cake twice in one week!
Noah's first band concert and Hannah's last. Noah played the trumpet this year. Hannah has played the flute the last three years and will not be taking band in high school. It was a hard choice for her but you can only take band at our high school if you are in marching band which practices after school. Hannah is planning on playing volleyball with after school practices, so it was one or the other. I don't know what Noah is going to do without Hannah in Middle School. Hannah makes sure she keeps tabs on Noah and his friends.
Another field trip. Jonah and his class on their dam trip. Not all day like the 6th graders. The last 3 weeks of school are really fun and games, I think it should be spread throughout the year.
Noah and Jonah played on a traveling baseball team. They had tournaments in St.George 3 Saturdays a month for April and May. Scott and I would take turns taking them but this weekend we went as a family and cheered them on together. It has been a good learning experience, they have a good coach who has taught them alot.
We played in a 12 and under league. Our coach asked Jonah to be on the team after one kid was injured, so Jonah was by far the youngest and smallest but he fit right in with the team.
I am usually behind the camera so I made sure Scott took my picture on Mother's Day. I love all the cards and things my kids make for Mother's Day, it is better than any present. And I love Jonah, Ezra and Esther singing, Mother, I Love You, with the primary. At church I was surprised when our Bishop asked the youth to come up to say a few short words to their mothers. Noah was the first up and it was so sweet to hear him say how much he loves me and what I've taught him. Hannah also got up and shared her feelings. I was crying and felt so blessed to have wonderful children. Scott surprised me with black silk pjs and a gift certificate to get gel nails. It was a perfect day.
