T-BALL

Burke had his first t-ball game last week and he did great! He loves being part of a team and of course running the bases. I am pretty sure he is the biggest kid on the team, but he doesn't care. He is shaping up to be a ball player!!

Last Day of School-YIPEE!!!

On the last day of school I too the kids on a hike up to Stewart Falls. This area is one of my favorite places! We had lots of fun and the kids did awesome! They all made it to the top with very little complaining.

I love the mountains and want to teach my kids to love being outdoors. They seem to have lots of fun and enjoy it.

It was a beautiful day and the kids had fun exploring finding walking sticks and throwing rocks.


Ashton was very proud of the sick he found.

Bradley was so good. He sat in the pack and kicked his feet. He was happy to be carried along looking around at nature and watching the other kids.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Ellie had her first dance recital this week and it was darling!! She looked so stinking cute in her costume I could hardly stand it! The theme for the whole thing was the Wizard of OZ and she danced to somewhere over the rainbow. She loved it and did great!!
She is willing to pose at just about any time.


I loved this picture so I threw it in.

Kindergarten Graduate

Burke loved kindergarten and he did great!! He made knew friends and enjoyed going to school. He can't wait to go all day next year and eat in the cafeteria.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASH!!!!

Ashton has been looking forward to his birthday for weeks! He would ask me everyday if it was summer and could we go swimming for his happy birthday. Thankfully the weather held out and we were able to have a fabulous party at the pool!


He had so much fun being the center of attention for the day. He asked me a couple of times to sing him happy birthday again, which I did happily! What a sweetie!!

Ashton loves trains, cars and anything that moves. We got him a little train set which he loves and plays with every chance he gets!

Memorial Day
Every year for memorial day we go out to Wellington, UT to decorate graves. Where is Wellington you may ask? It is a bitty little town next to Price, UT and there is pretty much nothing there. However, all of my Pinegar relatives are buried there so we go every year. It is a fun thing to do, and it is a great opportunity to teach my kids about their ancestors. This year however, it was raining and cold, all day. We went to Price for a picnic and the next thing we know all of the kids are soaked, bare foot having the time of their life in the rain. I figured it had to be documented. They will never forget this day in Price.

Mine and Rebecca's kids, minus Brigham and our littlest ones.

Ashton and Lily. They may look innocent, but they are trouble with a capital T and partners in crime!

BRADLEY IS ONE!!!

About a week before Brad's birthday we had birthday treats at my moms for all the May birthdays. This was Bradley's first experience with a cupcake.

He really wasn't too sure what to think of it. He didn't seem to think it was that great.

On his actual birthday he still didn't want anything to do with it. He touched it like it might hurt him, and he would barely take a bite. Silly kid!! I am so grateful for my sweet Brad. He is so good and has brought so much joy to our family. I can't believe he is one, but YEAH!!

Brad definitely had plenty of attention on his special day!! Happy Birthday!

Ellie's Preschool Graduation

Well, Ellie made it through preschool with flying colors! She has a had a great year and learned so much. I am very proud of her!!
Miss Diane has taught our three oldest children and we love her. We are very sad that she will no longer be teaching. We will miss her greatly!!
