Ten on Tuesday -

 
May was been a busy month for us with the end of school stuff.
Enjoy the pictures!
1.  Madi at the Spring Sing - each December and May the school does a choir concert which all of the classes participate.  Here she is at her last one for Elementary School!  Can't believe that she will be in Jr. High next year!

 
 2.  Maya - she has LOVED 2nd grade and her teacher - Mr. MacLay.  We have heard so much about him and everything that he does - so fun to have her enjoying school so much!
 
 
3.  Max - he is ready to be a 5th grader.  Is still the tallest in his class and he now wears bigger shoes than me.  I think I will still be taller for in for at least 2 years - but not much past then!


 4.  Our Stake did a 5k that I was involved with and we are so glad to have it done.  Max and Maya did the 5k and Madi ran 1.6 miles.  It's nice to have it done.
 5.  On Sunday - Max and Maya decided that they were going to update a few of the church hymns.  Madi was in with the Bishop for her Birthday Interview and they found the song "Rock of Ages"  Let me just say it was a version that would not be appreciate for Sacrament Meeting but I love it at home!

 6.  Last day of school!  Madi had a swim party all day, Max and Maya ready for the year end parties too!  It has been a great year!
 7.  We have peaches!!!  We have a peach tree in our backyard and most years we don't get more than a hand full but this year we have gotten bags and bags of peaches this year!  We have given lots away and still have tons.  They are nice a juicy!
 8.  Summer means swimming in our house - We went the first day that it was open and had a great time!  Love the summer schedule!
 9.  On Memorial Day - Madi left for girls camp.  She was so excited about going!  Hope she had a great time and loved it just like I did!  Can't wait to hear all about it!
 10.  Today - first day of swim team - Max with the 9 and 10 yr olds.  He loves swim team and the best part is that he is with Matt!
 
11.  Maya - she is swimming with the 7 - 8 year olds!  She likes being the oldest in the group!  I spend lots of time on the bleachers during the summer but I really enjoy being there watching them!

Ten on Tuesday - Success!!!

In the movie Three Stooges - whenever they did something that worked, they would all shake hands and say "Success, success. success".  We have had some success this week!
 
 1.  Maya got 7 inches cut off of her hair.  She loves the new length and thinks that it is the best thing to get your hair washed at Great Clips.

 2,  Madi just had 2 inched cut off but still looks lovely as ever!
 3.  We have a leak in our water pipe that goes over to the flowers and of course the leak is under the sidewalk.  Maya loved helping Bryant clean out the mud and get all dirty when they were trying to find it!
 4.  I am now officially old or so the lady at Costco Optical said.  I have progressive lens - what is progressive lens - well the top is normal, the middle for medium distances and the bottom is for up close.  Progressive is a nice way of saying trifocials!!!
 5.  We plated a garden in March during spring break (see old post) and the plants have been going gang busters!!!  These plants are zucchini, mint and watermelon.
 6.  The zucchini are huge!  The one is longer than my hand.  My kids think that we should sell them.  But if anyone wants some, come on over!
 7.  Next planter was strawberries and peas.  After a worried few weeks, look at the lower picture!!
 8.  WE HAVE PEA PODS!!!!!  And Bryant and I tried one and it was delicious!!

 9.  In our last planter we have romaine lettuce, a tomato plant and carrots.
10.  We have picked the lettuce for dinner and it is delicious!  Can't wait for the fall when we plant more thing!

11. Random Fact - I am the biggest sucker for gummy bears.  Not just any Gummy Bears but the good ones!!
