Scott, Ashley, Rachel & Alexa

Rachel was so excited to go to school each day to see her teachers and friends, but also excited to come home and learn what she shared! When the school year ended, we were able to celebrate with graduation at Kangaroo Zoo, which is a bounce house playground.


 Even Alexa was able to keep up with the big kids at Kangaroo Zoo! We are looking forward to another year of preschool coming up soon!

Pa came to spend the day with us when he came for business in Salt Lake. We don't typically tell the girls what we are doing until we are in the car due to the fact they get so excited they have a hard time getting ready. They had been asking for a while where we were going, but once we were in the car, they were so excited to find out we were going to the zoo! 

One of the things we have truly grown to love about living in Utah is having the temple so close. In May, the Payson temple was completed and we were able to take the girls! We are able to teach our girls about the importance of the temple and what happens there each time we see one or are able to attend an open house. They have such a love for the temple already! 

Rachel told Cece that she got to feed a baby cow. Cece told her it's called a calf. Unfortunately for Cece, my friend Diana had told Rachel she could come feed the baby cow, so that is what is was this time...not a calf. 

The last field trip of the year was to a local nursery. Rachel was so excited because they had been talking about it at school and she was going to get to plant a flower! There wasn't quite enough room for everyone around the planting station, so just a few kids got to plant their flowers at once, leaving parents visiting off to the side...no picture of that one. She did get to go walk around the nursery and learn about different flowers with her class though. 

Alexa and I were able to enjoy lots of time together while Rachel was at presc. One thing she came to love doing was going to the library. They have a Lego table and lots of different learning activities for small children. 

After several months of work, I was able to earn my second Young Woman medallion in May! 

One of our favorite things to do is feed the ducks! This past spring, Austin was able to join us one day. While the kids were enjoying the baby ducks, the seagulls were enjoying the bread we brought for the ducks! Alexa made sure to tell them what she thought of that!
