Mom's Birthday and Memorial Day

I don't remember what we gave mom for her birthday, but I am sure it was not as cute as what was in the bag afterwards!
We visited Dad's grave and put out flowers for Memorial Day. Mom made a nice planter box that after the weekend I retrieved and kept on my porch for the summer.

Soccer Fun!

Both Carter and Serena played soccer this year. I was Carter's coach and his team was the Red and Yellow Sharks. Serena was on the Fireflies team.

Grandma Hoppie and Aleeya cheering on the players!

Aleeya following in big brother's footsteps!
Check out Carter leading the pack. He was much more assertive this year and really got in and took control of the ball. I didn't keep track, but he scored almost every game and sometimes several goals, I think three was his best game.


Go! Go! Go!


Serena has her drinks in her hands. The treats and giving high fives were her favorite part of soccer.


Look at that speed!

NDPA After-School Choir Spring Performance

All of the pieces for this session came from musicals. I was the accompanist for the choir and it was fun learning the songs, but a stretch for my musical abilities.
Carter is born to perform.
Carter singing his solo "Two Worlds, One Family" from Tarzan.
Carter presented the choir director, Shantel Vanwagoner, with flowers.

Disneyland Day Six

Water ball outside the pizza place where we sent more money on a slice of pizza than we would on a whole pizza in Utah!
Love the miniature houses for the miniature kids!
I think they are selling something!
Winnie-the-Pooh, his ride was the best, there was no line, so we just kept going again and again. I think at least 10 times!
Taylor's nickname at work is Eyeore, because of his positive attitude, or lack of.

Tigger is my favorite!
Love the look of concentration.

California Adventure Park-Day Four

Serena was the most interested in getting her picture taken with the characters. Carter would get all shy and say he was scared.

California Adventure Park-Day Three in California

Serena loves people and was thrilled to have Disney works that would just listen to her tell about her adventures!
Monsters Inc. was one of our favorite rides-it was the ride we did the most times at California Adventure.

The joys of traveling long distances!
