Birthday Celebration

Our Avery turned 7 on May 22nd and we had a party for her at Ken's Gym on the weekend prior so that her classmates could join. The kids had Field Day on May 20th and then their last day of school on May 21st.

Happy Birthday Avery




A couple days after her Birthday party at the gym, Avery lost a tooth!













Some pics and videos from Field Day - both kids had it at the same time.


Avery and Reese wrapped in a towel aftr going down the bouncy house/waterslide.

Here is a video of Gavin going down the waterslide:

Cheer, dry ice, Harry Potter and more!

Avery did a mini cheer camp at school a couple weeks ago and got to perform her cheer for parents.




Pictures from the cheer and a couple pictures of Avery with her friend Reese. Here is a video of the cheer - Avery is in the front row on the left.





We are trying out a subscription for seafood and our first box came about a month ago packed with dry ice. So Carlton decided to let the kids enjoy it! Here are a couple videos:



We went to the symphony for a Harry Pottery themed performance and the kids got wands to play with during the show.












We got the kids new bikes - they both had outgrown the bikes that used to have their training wheels! Here they are with their new bikes!


 





Then Gavin entered an art contest where the theme was the spiral jetty in the Great Salt Lake. He used Lego (of course) and won 2nd place for grades 3-5! Here he is with his Lego build, 2nd place ribbon, and also a medal his Literacy class earned for their Literacy scores in school.
















These last two pictures show the kids updating our world map to show that we have now been to Rome and Sorrento in Italy!


That is all the updates we have for now!! The kids only have about 2 more weeks of school left!
