Colony Pointe neighborhood last day of school party

Our neighborhood has been such a great place to live for the past 15 years. We have made so many great friends and our kids have a million other kids to play with. It's definitely a "community" looking out for each other. One of the many things they do is a party in the park on the last day of school. Shawna Beal is the one to thank for this. She does so much. Face painting, dunking booth, balloon animals, magician, climbing wall,  giant soap/bubble machine and snow cones.  It's a great tradition.

 

Central Utah Ballet

Emery has been tumbling at Jolly's for the past few years. This is her last. I'm sad, but she doesn't seem to be. She has done awesome. She is a great little tumbler. Instead of tumbling, the girls have started Ballet at this new studio close by our house. So far so good.

The North Pointe Elementary Wax Museum

When we moved into our neighborhood Ivan started Kindergarten at North Pointe. Then two years later they built a new school,  River Rock, and we moved over there. Ivan was in 2nd grade and Jack started kindergarten. Then 4yrs later our boundaries changed and we moved back to North Pointe.  Ivan did his 6th grade year there. For some reason they didn't do the wax museum for the 5th graders at River Rock, so Ivan missed it. Jack is in 5th grade this year and was able to participate. It is really cool to walk the halls and see all the kids dressed up. 

St George

 Our nephew Justin, from Idaho, has been living here with Sharon. He's never been to St George so we took a quick trip.  A couple of bonus's to the trip

-a family from our neighborhood (the Rich's) was there the same weekend so we met up with them to hike around the red rock.

-Our niece Hillary and her husband  Kevin are doing PA school in California. They decided to also make a  quick trip and meet us for a couple of the nights. I was the only one who new about it so when we met up with them at Bahama Bucks the rest of the crew got a fun surprise.

Mothers Day

I'm the Relief Society president in my ward right now. It's been since about Jan.  For the previous couple of years we've been attending church via zoom. I wasn't too excited about trying to keep that up and teach over zoom, luckily as soon as I started we only had a couple online meetings and then slowly started going back in person, in smaller groups. This turned out to benefit us for Mothers Day. It allowed us to hold our R.S meeting out in my backyard. IT WAS SO NICE. We just had everyone bring a camping chair. The Young Women sang to us and I taught for a bit and then we sat around and visited. We got everyone these cute little lip balms that looked like lipstick and a little bag of cookies. I wish we could do it this way every year. And I wish I would have taken a picture of the table and all the great friends and neighbors celebrating mothers day together. This is the only picture I have.
