September 2015

You had been fighting in the car. So I made Dad pull over, and you all got out. I made you go stand by that tree so I could take your picture so we remembered how you fought! It quickly turned it all into something funny and you all forgot the fighting and started the hugging :)

We went to Yellowstone in Sept. We saw lots of wildlife, including a black bear and her cub. It was exciting to see it since you were a baby the last time we saw one!

August 2015

 Here you are jumping in the pool at Swim lessons! You had a great time being a fish for  couple weeks.

You made this for your teacher. And you posed yourself for the photo. lol

 You are in First grade! How did that happen? You were so excited for school this year. You now have school as long as Whitney, get to eat school lunch, and have 3 recesses! You have made many friends in class and are so fun and outgoing.  I think the outfit is so appropriate for you because you have such a sunny personality!

July 2015

Whitney got baptized in July, and we had  chocolate fountain at the party after. You were so excited for that!
We also took a trip to the Noyes farm, and fed calves, saw pigs, and a calf be born! Quite the educational trip.

July 19, 2015 was the day Grandma Wilkinson passed away. She had gotten sick on the 6th with pneumonia. Her body responded to the medication well but she had some other things come along that made her unable to get well. She came home from the Hospital on a Saturday (the day of our family reunion at her house) and passed away the next day. 

She was an absolutely amazing Grandma to me and Great Grandma to you! We were at her house so much your entire life and I am so grateful for that! She went on many many shopping trips with us! I know she loved you and her eyes would light up when you came over. She gave great hugs, always had cookies, or popscicles, and always made sure you were loved! You are a very loving girl and always gave her hugs and sat on her lap while watching tv. 

   We will miss her so much but I am glad she is with Grandpa. The funeral was very nice. All the great-grand kids sang "I know that my Savior loves me". Grandma loved music! 

 

 

June 2015

 BIRTHDAY GIRL! We celebrated with the Birt family a few days before your actual birthday since we were going to be arriving in California on your actual Birthday!

Grandma always uses this M&M bag for birthday presents, you took out the gift and the extra piece of paper in the bottom!

 

SAN RAFAEL CALIFORNIA

You and Alexa are about a year apart. She is younger but size wise you'd never know! You 2 were best buddys!

Salt Flats.

Since we arrived at Kim and Jerry's on your birthday Aunt Kim made you a cake, got balloons and a pinata and a present for you! She spoiled you and you loved it!

Talking to Grandma Birt so she could tell you Happy Birthday!

 We sure took advantage of your Birthday month and got a lot of parties in! We first celebrated at Grandpa and Grandma Birt's house before we left for San Rafael. We spent a fun week on vacation! We went into the city and saw the wharf, Ghiredeli Square, China town, rode a trolley car and played on a beach on the wharf. You kids like to go to a small bird refuge in San R. We played at the park. Went to the Oakland zoo one day- probably the hottest day while we were there. They had a petting zoo with goats and sheep. Hahaha! But City kids don't get many changes to pet them like we do. We spent a day at the Muir beach and even though it was a little cold that didn't stop you from getting wet and having fun!
I have a hard time believing that you are Six years old! You are probably one of the smallest girls in your grade and that is one reason I cant believe you'll be in 1st grade this year! You are super silly and keep us entertained. We love you so much!

May 2015

Ready to help with the lambs and horses.

May was a busy month since school was ending. You had a dance competition at Lagoon. Me and Grandma B. took you and Whitney. You did a great job and looked so cute in your outfit, with makeup and curly hair! We ate at Zuppas afterwards, which is Whitney's favorite place.
We also got to Skype with Jordan!! We all gathered at Grandma and Grandpas to listen to him, and it was so awesome! He is doing so great.
We celebrated Mothers day, so I set the self timer on my camera and got 1 good photo of me with you three cuties! I am one lucky Mom!
You finished Kindergarten and found out that you have Mrs. Tyrell. She has been teaching for a lot of years and will be great.

April 2015

Swimming at Bear Lake

Easter Egg coloring

Silly stickers are great for a new face

Pops Party!

April was a fun month for you Keely! We had a quick trip to Bear lake and enjoyed swimming and eating pizza in Montpieler ID, at Studebakers pizza. We saw the missionary's there again too! The owner feeds them for free so I bet they go there often.
 All year long in Kindergarten you worked on learning songs to perform for your Dad! And the Pops party finally came! You did a great job singing for Dad! After dinner I got to see you at the Book Fair! You picked out a Barbie Pearl Princess book and then played games in your classroom! I just love the Pops party! I cant quite believe you are my last baby to go! :)
We love you Keely!

March 2015

Totally awesome Mom I am! I didn't take a single picture of you during March. But the pics above show what I had been doing. I think in 1 weekend I did 2 weddings, some funeral flowers and Prom flowers! AUGH, it was a rough week.
So I'm sorry I don't have an awesome story for this month. I bet you played with your friends, McKell, Charlotte, Kate and Isaac. And that is about your favorite thing to do!

                                                         Daddy Daughter Dance!

Sally from the Cat in the Hat!

                                                    

This month the Elementary school hosted a Daddy Daughter dance. The 3 of you got all dressed up complete with wrist corsages, and headwreaths. You danced and sang Frozen songs, and had ice cream sundaes. I am so glad the PTO did that! You were so excited to go! It was a very special night for you with Daddy.
You also got to dress up as your favorite Dr. Suess character! Sally from Cat in the Hat. I think you look just like her!  Kindergarten is so much fun!
