End of the year

 We have had a great end of the year. Here they are so excited to have their last day of 3rd and 4th grade. Hannah got Mr. Weller for 5th and Hayden got Ms. Mortimer for 4th.

 After a lot of friend time and water parties the last day of school, Hayden was excited to head up to the Father and Son's with Heath. Hannah was excited to go to a birthday party. The girls and I went to Artic Circle.

 Chloe has started T-ball and loves being on the Princess Ladybug team with coach Trent.

 We got to help pass out popsicles at field day. Here is Hannah doing the shuttle run.

 20 years after graduating from Bonneville, he now leads the graduation. He also gave a great talk.

 Hannah made the talent show at school and played a Harry Potter song.

 Hayden had his Book Tea at school. His book was the Mean Dinosaur.

 He had his last flag football game. They had a great season.

Chloe had her last day of preschool. They were such a fun group of kids.

A trip to Utah

 We went to Utah on Memorial weekend to celebrate Granny Great's 90th birthday. They had a really nice party of her at the church. The next day we were going to clean her yard but it was raining so we spring cleaned the inside of her house instead. It was great to see that side of the family and do a service for her.

 We had a fun lunch together.

 We spent some time with the Huls. The kids slept out in their trailer.

 We had a BBQ and smores.

 Hannah, Chloe and Kinley got their hair cut by Jenn.

 We met Heath's family at his Grandpa Jackson's grave to remember him.

Spring Activities

 The girls finished up their dance year with a recital. They both danced beautifully.

 Their dad gave them flowers before they performed.

 There were lots of princesses there to meet and take princesses with.

 Hayden has been super busy with baseball. He really loves this sport. He plays 3rd base and has even pitched a little. He has had a few hits and struck out a few times. His team has mostly lost but tied one game. His coaches are great and put in a lot of time. It has been a really fun season.

RTR and Joy O's Joint Funeral

 Heath received a phone call late last Wednesday night that his Grandpa Romrell had passed away. Being in his 90's it wasn't a surprise, but it was still a shock when you receive the call. It was a pretty emotional time for the family. Grandpa Romrell was a great man who we all loved very much. He taught us perseverance, hard work, true love for family and a strong dedication to family, church and your country. We were very luck to know him and to be a part of his legacy.

 After he passed away, we received news that Grandma Romrell was rapidly reclining and would not make it very much longer. She passed away just 48 hours later.  It truly was a testament of how close these two were and such a tender mercy that they did not have to be separated for a long time. Grandma has been quiet for a long time due to illness and dementia but we knew her as a very loving, hardworking woman. She was big on tradition, celebrating, homemaking and family.

 It was wonderful to have a joint funeral to celebrate both of their lives and reacquaint with family.

We truly honor them and are so happy we have the knowledge that families can be together again one day.

Hannah turns 10!

 A few shots from Hannah's birthday. We took a few others with the ipad because Kinley hid the camera for a few hours when we needed it. Fun having little sister's around. Hannah's "birthday weekend" started with the little girls and I bringing her lunch at school. She loved her Subway sandwich and pop. We had fun spending time with her and her cute friends. She also brought cupcakes for her class and celebrated with them.

 We did most of her celebrating on Saturday because her actual birthday was full of church things and her dad was leaving to Florida. She requested  breakfast on the couch instead of in her bed so that she could watch TV while she ate. Can't miss that Saturday morning TV time! She had German pancakes, bacon and OJ.

Then Hannah and I had a mini-date to the mall. We had so much fun shopping for clothes, flip flops and jewelry. We went in the photo booth and she got her nails painted. After, we took the family out to Chuck-a-rama - Hannah's choosing. She made herself a birthday cake and was able to open gifts that night. she got some frames for her room, a nice CTR ring, nail colors and tools, and a cute scarf. We are so glad Hannah is 10 and even happier with what a great girl she is!
