Eclipse

I liked the Twilight series, but I am not a fanatic about it all. I think all the hype pushed me away a bit. :) That and the fact that Bella chose Edward over Jacob...hee hee! Anyhoo...John and I got to go to a premier showing of Eclipse yesterday. The movie is SO good. I loved it and John liked it a lot more than the first two. It is that good....go see it.

Catch up!

Wow! Can you get enough of this time of year? The weather, the BBQ's, swimming, field trips, long walks, end of "stuff" ceremonies...I love it! No wonder it has taken me so long to catch up and blog...we have been BUSY!!!
Soaring Eagle Award
Hailey earned the Soaring Eagle award at her school. She did extra projects throughout the year to earn it. Way to go Hailey!

Preschool Graduation
Coleton graduated from preschool on June 1. I was not prepared for how sad I would feel about this. I guess I just assumed that it wouldn't be hard because I have already been though all of this with one child, but I was so wrong! I sat through the whole thing fighting back tears. I cannot believe my blue eyed baby is going to start kindergarten in a month...yikes!

Giving is teacher a bear hug!

Hats off to the graduates

Good Friends and carpool buddies, Coleman and Austin

Coleton with Ms Hilary..she seriously is amazing!

Coleton and Jones

Our Clan

Childrens Museum
Coleton got to go to the Childrens Museum with his preschool class. It was such a fun time. He has such cute kids in his class.
Exploring the Helicopter

Coleton and his little FRIEND Abbigal

Blow this one up and look at how proud this little guy is.

These boys were hiding the chickens in the mailbox so the other kids couldn't find them. Whose kids are they anyway???

Taking work seriously

Memorial day
Memorial weekend was such a much needed break. We spent Saturday swimming with my family. On Sunday we went to Grandpa Winn's grave. We were so happy the see the "other Winn family" there.
The kids decorated the grave with any weed flower they could find.:)


On Monday we enjoyed a hike up Yellowfork Canyon. It was perfect for the kids. Hailey screamed any time she saw a bug, and the boys got nice and dirty. After hiking we enjoyed lunch at a park and then soaked up the sun and grandma's pool!


Quilt
In the middle of all of the chaos I made this quilt. I was so proud that I had to show it off. :)

Dance Revue
Hailey had her dance Revue. She did an excellent job. This is her cute friend Addi.

Fathers and Sons
John took the boys and headed to our stake's camp out. They had such a fun time even though it was super cold and rainy. Hailey and I on the other hand enjoyed a fun, warm night. We went and saw Diary of a Wimpy Kid. (Yes, Hailey was dieing to see it), dinner and shopping.

All 3 of the boys slept in the back of our Mountaineer because it was so wet. At least they stayed dry! John deserves a metal for being such a great dad!

Wheeler Farm
When we were in Las Vegas, we missed Coleton's field trip to the farm. He was really disappointed, so we took his friend Coleman and went when we got back in town. The boys had a great time. I am always amazed at how much fun it is to just let them run and explore. I wish I took a picture of the goose that totally chased us, but I was laughing way to hard to take a picture...oh yea and I was trying to save my children.



Las Vegas
Hailey had a Dance Competition in Las Vegas so we made a quick little trip out of it. (Note to self, next time stay at a Hotel off the stip with a nice pool and just swim, do not venture to the strip with 3 kids at such impressionable ages! :))
Kids outside the Hotel

Hailey and Coleton with Mr. M&M. Easton would have nothing to do with this guy!

I love that these two look so similar!

Waiting to watch the water show at the Belagio. This was our favorite thing on our trip. It was the simplest little thing but we loved it every time we saw it!

We went to the Timberlodge to see the aquarium there. The kids loved it and could have watched the fish forever.

The gardens at the Belagio. They smelled so good!!!

All tired out on the way home!

MELODY
Hailey joined the Melody Choir at her school. The performance was super cute and she did a great job! Hailey and her BFF's Brittany and Kaity.
