On May 16th, Heidi had her dance performance. This is the first time Heidi has ever had dance and she really had a lot of fun! I wanted her to have the experience at least once in her life. She loved being up on the stage and wearing a pretty costume.
May 19th was Jared's birthday and he turned 5.
On May 20th, Jared had his preschool graduation. He took preschool from Mrs. Carolyn Francom, the same teacher Erika and Kyle went to. She is getting close to retirement so Jordan will probably have to go somewhere else. Jared really had a lot of fun at preschool and just soaked everything up like a sponge.
The next day, May 20th, we had a birthday party for Heidi and Jared together. They each got to invite a few of their friends. This made things so much nicer for me, as their birthdays are less than a week apart. Our kids only get a party every 4 years, on the "big" years, and it just so happened that both of theirs ended up being this year- Heidi turning 8 and Jared 5.
We had a whole bunch of fun games in the backyard and then the piñata. I loved that Jared got excited about a rainbow unicorn piñata. Hmmm.... Well, they both loved it, then. The kids had a great time hitting it and of course getting the candy. We got the piñata done just in time for a big rainstorm to hit. Very lucky!
After the piñata was broken, Jordan thought it could still be used to ride around the kitchen... |
Of course, I had to throw a picture in of our adorable Kaylee, happy as always. |
Heidi's birthday fell on Memorial Day this year (May 25th) and we decided to take a trip down to Salt Lake and go swimming in Oma and Opa's pool. Swimming is one of Heidi's most favorite things to do. We first went down to my sister's house in Orem and then went out to lunch at Golden Corral, Heidi's favorite restaurant.

After swimming, the kids enjoyed a short ride on the horses.
Heidi is such a sweet girl and we are so grateful to have her in our family. What a special girl! I can't believe she is already 8 years old.
I made Heidi a frozen cake for her birthday... |
