Easton made it through his first year of school…only 12 more to go. The week was full of events for him. It started off with his animal diorama presentation…Each kid got to pick an animal to research, write a report, and present to all the parents. Easton chose the Shark. He was thrilled about this and talked about everyday. His report says: “Sharks have been alive since before dinosaurs. A shark can grow so many teeth. Over 20,000 in its life. Sharks eat sea animals. The most dangerous sharks is great white shark and the tiger shark. Baby sharks are named pups.”
Then Easton had field day. A fire truck came, and sprayed the fire hose onto the field for all the kids. Easton said, “This was the Best. School. Day. Ever.!” Easton and Mrs. Story. Easton loved Mrs. Story and learned so much…she’s the best! When I woke Easton up, and told him it was the last day of school he started to cry and said, “I’m never gonna see Mrs. Story again.” You know a teacher has done a good job when the kid cries because it’s the last day of school.
And then my little sister, the baby of the family, just graduated from High School. We’re nine years apart…I feel old. She made it though, and we’re all super proud of her!Ellie got her first Mani-Pedi for the celebration. Even sporting the Lehi Purple.On the big screenCongrats Lolo! Love you!
This last weekend, my brother, Jesse and his friends, Steven and Nate sang in "Guitars Unplugged" at BYU. So we made the trek for a quick weekend with the family.
We stopped by the Casper's first.
Easton got to have real snowball fights. (ever since Christmas, he has been throwing pretend snowballs constantly... if you walk into our house on any given day, chances are we are in the middle of a very intense "snowball fight")
Of course, some tears were shed when he realized real snowballs are cold.
That didn't stop him for long, though.
Ty had his first swing ride with Papa Larry...
He liked it.
We had some good food
And a little family time.
Then we were off to the main event. Guitars Unplugged was real good. I may be a little biased, but I am pretty positive that these three boys stole the show...
Nate, Jesse, and Steven
It was quite the family gathering. (Jessica, I must say you are quite the spectacle)
Ty, Grandma Leelee, and Mimi
Papa Cory and Easton
Me, Steven, Jessica
Easton & Jesse
Jason, Emily, and Jessica
Sunday was full of good food and family time
Jessica in an attempt to bond with Easton... Easton even said, "Jessica, we are best buddies today." Nice work.
Here is Grandma Leelee getting her Vitamin D for the day.
A super fun trip that went way too fast. But on the bright side, there was no car sickness or vomiting in the car going or coming. So hooray for that.
Here is the video of the boys playing that I may or may not have illegally captured...
