We have done some fun things recently. We took the girls to the Sandy Aquarium, which they LOVE to visit. 

 This is a picture of Emery's first haircut...what a cutie!

I took a picture of my girls in April. This is one of my favorite times of year at our house...when our front trees are in full bloom...with my 3 favorite flowers posing for a picture :)

 This is a picture of Justine's and Chantelle's graduation from high school. We are so proud of these young ladies!

This is a picture of Avery and her Preschool teacher, Mrs. Clark, at Learning Dynamics.  She loved her preschool.  I got a little concerned because she told me she is going to marry Taggert, a boy in her class, but by year-end, she told me she will NOT marry Taggert, because he always got into trouble!  Thank goodness she doesn't seem to like bad boys :)

 Danielle LOVED her 1st Grade Teacher, Ms. Campbell.  I think that is a huge part of her loving the 1st grade.  Ms. Campbell is a real sweetheart, and absolutely LOVED Danielle.  She said that she could always count on Dani to be kind to everyone, and to always have her work done :).

These are pictures from the girls' soccer season this spring.  Danielle and Avery were complete opposites playing soccer...Avery did not like chasing the ball but LOVED being goalie, and was VERY good at it!  I think she only let 2 balls by her the entire season!  Danielle HATED being goalie so mostly ran around chasing the ball.  They both improved a ton by the end of the season, though sometimes I wondered what I was thinking...signing them both up for soccer AND immediately follow with softball and teeball.  We have spent many hours at the park, chasing Emery while the girls practice and play, but they love it.

Ok, only 2 more things to blog about...it's been a while :)

My nephew Chandler just returned from his mission to Barcelona, Spain on May 30th, and we were able to see him at the airport.  What a fun opportunity!  Dani has inherited my emotions and got really teary-eyed when she saw him for the first time.  So sweet!

Last but not least, May 31st the kids got out of school for the summer, so Dan and I made this banner to welcome Dani home when she got out the last day. Notice that the girls are ALREADY in swimming suits, ready to kick the summer off right!
