keeping busy...

We finally had a good sunny Saturday and we took FULL advantage! We worked in the yard almost all day and we got our garden planted. We also had a soccer game for Brielle and then we went to Sams Club after and bought a trampoline! The girls are so excited to finally have one and I'm thrilled that the girls will have something fun to do this summer while I'm inside in the nice air conditioned house :)

We planted lots of Tomatoes this year. There is nothing better than fresh ripe tomatoes from the garden. I still want to plant a few more things like zucchini and peppers but at least we got it started.

Katie's been apart of her school's choir this year. This great lady in our stake volunteers her time and puts it together. The kids have to get up early one day a week and be at school an hour early to practice and Katie hasn't complained once! She LOVES it. They had their last performance of this year and they sang some fun Broadway tunes. I tried to get some video but it didnt really work out so this was about the only picture I got because she would not look at us. She kept watching the kids behind her singing, it was pretty funny.

A few weeks ago Katie had a field trip planned to go to Red Butte Gardens but it was cancelled due to weather and was rescheduled for this last week to go to West Jordan City Park (blah!) Not only did that NOT sound as fun but then the weather was horrible that day too, cold and WET!! But we went anyway and the kids learned all about plants under the pavillion trying to stay dry and then we hopped back on the bus and went back to the school to eat our lunch instead of getting to play at the park. The highlight of the fieldtrip was definetly the bus ride. The entire fieldtrip could have just been driving around WJ on the bus and skipping the park all together :)

I have really been trying to teach the girls some new chores so that they can really be helpful over the summer and when the baby comes. They are so eager to learn and help and they actually LOVE cleaning bathrooms (how long will this last??)
