May 2016 - Memorial Day, Last Day of School, Xander Graduation

I am so happy when my kids get along and include each other in their activities.

On Memorial Day we went to the Cemetery to have dinner with 

the family at Papa's grave. Pat had class, so he couldn't come.

These girls love to run through the crosses and find Grandpa John's name.

They found it!!

Jaina has a second tooth growing in behind the baby ones. Ugh!!

May 27th: Last day of School!!!!

Our customary 'last day' pictures.

That morning Xander had his end of year program along with a little graduation ceremony.

Mana and Karri came to see him.

Grandma & Grandpa Tolman came too!

Dad was even able to leave work and make it for the program.

Xander and his friend 

Xander and his teacher Mrs Berns

He's all done with Elementary!!!!

At the house after the program, Jaina got her birthday present from Grandma & Grandpa.

A new Pony and a cute outfit!!

May 2016 - Mara End Of Year Program

I love the pictures that Mara draws. 

May 25th: Mara had her end of year program and was really 

excited about it and she was even able to sit by her friend Abby.

They sang a song about the counties of Utah and she got to hold a sign for Morgan County.

Afterwards she showed us her county report in the computer lab.

Mana came to see her program too.

May 2016 - Jaina Birthday Celebration

Xander made a paper mache mask at school, but didn't like 

it too much, so we took a picture before he threw it away.

Mana always takes the kids shopping for their birthdays, and they usually get to have one 

of their presents on the shopping day. This is a game that she got called Wet Head. The helmet 

is filled with water, you spin the dial, and whatever number you land on, you have to take 

out that many pegs out of the hat. Then it's just a roulette to see who is going to get wet. 

They had a great time playing this and she was super happy, even after getting wet.

Xander was going on a campout and another mom took this pic and shared it with me. 

Xander, Kyle Kober and Kenny Prigmore.

Melody is really liking to play with the play food and dress up in the hat and apron.

Melody was playing in Pat's closet and found his bike helmet and wanted 

to wear it, so we took a selfie so she could see what she looked like.

Ahh!!! This was the first time Melody ate cereal with milk, and she loved it.

May 22nd, we celebrated Jaina's birthday at Mana's house.

I love that Karri will make cakes exactly how the kids want them.

She even put rings inside too.

One of the things from Mana, a hand grabber. Jaina was super excited about this one.

New barbie toys from Karri.

New sandals from Mana

Anna Nightgown

Then money and Barbie Super Spy Squad from JD & Chris

Karri and her creation.

These sisters are just so sweet!

Since Jaina was out of school now, we went to Toys R Us for some 

birthday shopping. She got a crown and balloon from the store.

Melody was having a moment about the balloon, so the cashier was sweet and gave Melody her own balloon.

Next we headed to Target and these girls like trying on all the masks!

Then we got some cheese roll ups from Taco Bell for lunch, before heading home.

On the drive home, Melody fell asleep while holding onto her 

balloon. I was able to sneak some pictures of her during the drive. 

This is what we got at Toys R Us, Barbie Princess and the Pop Star Courtney doll.

We got some Lego Disney Minifigures and she got the Toy Story Alien.

Ever After High Apple White.
