By the time May rolled around we were starting to feel a little more settled in our new house. Softball and soccer continued and we just rolled with the punches and pretty much made it through in survival mode as we managed a new baby, still-unpacked boxes, and an already busy schedule with end-of-school activities thrown on top. But we did it!
Alex ran the Ogden Marathon again and got rained on again (I think it's a sign he should stop running that one!) but it wasn't quite as bad as last year. A few days later he hopped on a plane to Boston for the convention. It was a success as usual! He works really hard pretty much all year for the convention and it's great to see how it all comes together.
We went to the dance festival at Eaglecrest. It's one of my favorite events of the year. It was Alli's last year doing it, which made me sad. Alli's group did Boogie Woogie Bugle Boys, Holly's did a Newsies medley, Brynne's did We Go Together from Grease, and Tyson's did Supercalifragilisticexpialidocius. Tyson practiced his a hundred times a day at home until we all had it memorized.
Next up was Alli's 6th grade graduation. She won an award for outstanding PE student and also won the Hope of America Award which was a HUGE honor! Each 6th grade teacher chooses just one boy and one girl and I was so proud of her for getting that. She absolutely deserves it.
With Josh Lyman, the boy from her class that also won the award.
Her fabulous teacher, Mrs. Parkinson!
Last day of school!! Pictures taken at a different front door than the first day pictures.
WE DID IT!!!
Alli went to a NOVA swim party after school and the rest of us went to our old neighborhood for the big inflatable water slide party. Great end to a great month!
