5K

Back in the beginning of May we did our first 5K. It was a charity event for a family that we really loved and we wanted to support them.  They had tons of cool characters who posed with the kids for pictures. Cam was in Heaven!

It was a cold rainy morning.  I loved that we had 4 of the kids with us.  Sunny declined to participate saying, "I don't do things that make me sweat or that involve competition."  So yeah :)

Most of the kids 5 and under either rode in a stroller, biked, or were pulled in a wagon.  Both of my boys ran/walked the whole thing.  Except for a few moments here and there were Cam convinced Mimi to give him a ride.

Finishing the race together.

Jack was the first of our group to finish.  His time was 24:40.  Ryan ran with Lila and they finished in 40 minutes.  Mom and I stayed with the little boys and finished in 59 minutes.

We found out that Jack loves to race and he has since done another 5K with plans to run in another one on 6/6.

Hope of America

Each year, all the 5th graders in the school district get to perform in the Hope of America program.  It is held at the Marriott Center on the BYU campus.  We had really bad seats, so all the pictures are horrible.  But, the kids all have a red, white, blue, or yellow shirt and the form a giant American Flag.  Sunny was yellow which is the border around the flag so they were up on the very top.

This is my favorite song from the program.  The lights go out and the kids use their flashlights.  It makes me cry every time I see it. 

Choir 2015

Whitney, Sunny, and Lexi.  Rakel wasn't there yet.  Sunny has such great friends.  I love them all and I'm glad they got to do choir together this year.

In December they had a concert at the high school.  I had to drop the girls off and hour and a half early for a practice, but we had no idea where they were supposed to go. I was nervous and wanted to walk them inside to find their teacher.  They told me, "See ya later, we've got this."  I think they liked feeling grown up.

My favorite song from this year.  "Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho."
