Memorial Day/Bear Lake

Holidays are for eating at our house.  Drew and Lisa came over for some of Zack's BBQ.  The weather was beautiful and the food was delicious. (Side note: This was also the day we found out we were pregnant again.)

The girls got to play with Grandma. 

Lisa brought their favorite thing. The crazy daisy. 

Later that afternoon I took the girls up to Bear Lake for a little getaway.  Misty had rented a condo for her birthday.  All her friends went home on Monday so we went up to hang out with her for a night. 

We spent all morning playing at the park on Tuesday. 

I thought this was hilarious.  They didn't. 

In the afternoon it warmed up to 80 degrees.  The weather was perfect and everyone had gone home so we got the pool to ourselves.  We had a blast and Peyton even went down the big waterslide by herself.  Twice.  Can you tell it was the first time our skin had seen the sun this year?

Preschool Program

Berkley's year of preschool ended in May.  Here she is on the last day of school.

Her school put on a fun little program where they sang and danced.

I told Berkley to sing loud but I definitely didn't expect the consequence of that request.  Instead of trying to explain, watch for yourself.

She literally screamed every song at the top of her lungs.  It was pretty hilarious.  The ending of this one is especially good.

 I took a few more of the screaming videos but I'll spare you.  The only song she didn't scream is this one, and that's because she was doing a raindrop dance.  She took the part very seriously.

Then they had a little "advancement" ceremony.  Here's Berkley recieving her medal.

And here's her class picture.

Zack's Surprise for Carson

Carson came home from his mission in Argentina on May 7th.  Here's the family at the airport.

 Zack thought it would be fun to grow his beard for Carson's homecoming.  He started in October and this is how it turned out. 

He shaved it off later that day.  I think he missed stroking it, it had become quite a habit.  His face was also colder and he could no longer store pencils in it.
