May- First back in Utah

 What a fun month. I always love May. Not only is the weather truly waking up and just beautiful each day, but school also comes to an end! 

We started the month off in St  George celebrating Lori’s birthday. While out there, we went to Vegas and supported Garett for his Medical School Graduation; Travis was able to award him his coat. 

We rode horses with our friends from New York. We had our cousins over a lot since their mom was having a baby. I planned an evening of spa activities for my girls. We attended a graduation party for our sweet neighbor, Grace. We went with Treycen to check out the Aurora borealis!

Addie was in soccer. Boys were in baseball. I joined a book club. Avery was practicing for dance recital. Travis was attacked by dogs!

April, first one back in Utah

The month started with Spring Break. Typically spring break for us is spent in Bentonville, AK biking and having a good time. We tried to keep some of the traditions alive by biking and eating at a Mexican restaurant. We added a tradition, while we were biking Maddix was up at Sundance with friends, snowboarding. I love that about Utah; we had beautiful biking weather at the same time he was up snowboarding. 
We then drove to Vegas and spent the night with Garett and Gloria on our way to California. 
In California Travis competed in a Half Iron Man with his sister, Larisa. They were awesome! On the way home we stayed again with Garett and Gloria and enjoyed going out to dinner, hot tubbing, and daring the boys to get in the ice cold pool for 15 mins! 
Sports season started up: baseball for both boys, track for Maddix, and soccer for Addie; Avery’s age was all full. The weather so ridiculously cold for a spring in UTAH! But it’s been a wonderfully wet and chilly spring! 
My dad asked Avery what she wanted to do for her birthday and she told him “eat pizza and garden with you.” So they waited until it was warmer and he and Wendy took her to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Then they purhased gardening tools for her and helped her plant her own flowers. 
I had a sibling day where we hiked the Y and then went down to support my mom at her massage-aversary party. 
We threw April a little Lemon 🍋 baby shower/dinner.
Maddix got to shadow Travis at work for a day and see what it’s like to be a “boring old family doctor.” 
A couple of bday parties for Addie. We put money down on a puppy. A date with Avery… and pink eye, lots of pink eye…. Lots.
