Catching up on all of the Mayhem!

Kendal had her district meet on the 9th of May. She took third in her triple jump and tied her PR in the 80 and mile!

Alice had a game on the 10th. She was a bit scattered, but had her good moments. Her team won their game!

Pete played against Filer on the 11th. It was an intense game and the kids played so hard. They ended up short losing 0-1, but we were so proud of their hustle and drive!

Mother's day weekend was very nice. Casey took me to the temple and out to lunch afterwards on Saturday. Sunday was spent going to church and finishing with a relaxing day spent with my loves! (Alice did a song and cheer for me Sunday morning!) 

The next week was the bookfair at Stricker. It was such a busy week and I was putting in a lot of extra time since Camille's mom's health was going down, and she was gone for a couple of days. My parents came up for the Grandparents day picnic on the 15th! They were able to stay for a few days and see Pete's performance, and the kids' soccer games. We loved having them around for the week!

Pete had his fifth grade music performance on the 17th. His class gave the music teacher a bit of grief but ended up giving a nice performance. Peter did a duet with Clover for one of the songs. I was super proud of him. Mrs. Howell praised Pete and has loved his attitude and help this year. 

 

Pete's last game was on the 17th. They played against a Kimberly team and won 3 to 1! Pete had a goal assist and played a great game! His team came in first for the season! 

Kendal finished her toolbox in AG. She was so proud of her welding job. It turned out great!

Alice's last game was on the 20th. She got to have all of her Grandparents there to see her play! Alice scored a goal and was close to scoring a couple of other goals, her team had a great game, but came up short loosing 4 to 7. Alice's coach treated the team to root beer floats. Really we were so grateful for her willingness to heard all of our little's for a month. 

Pete got to go to Craters of the Moon with his class on the 22nd. They got to explore all of the places and went into the caves. His favorite part was the rock fields and of course being with friends! 

I got to host book club on the 23rd. We read "The Keeper of Lost things". It was a good book with interesting little stories weaved throughout it. Casey took the kids to the senior parade that night. 

Kendal and Casey had hobby day on the 24th. Kendal chose to go to the Roller rink and the movie's. She got to be with Netta for the day and had a fun time. Casey got assigned to go fishing. He initially didn't mind, but the bus ride with a bunch of crazy kids wasn't his favorite. 

Alice and Pete had their first track meet on the 24th. The weather was iffy to begin with and just got worse. The little kids got most of their events done. Alice won in the long jump and got second in both her hurdles and 50 yrd dash. Peter's best was just over 15 feet in the shot put and he got second in his race. Unfortunately he didn't get to finish his last two events because of the storm. 

Kendal had her AR party last Friday. The kids got to go to the ropes course at CSI in the morning and they ate at Pizza pie cafe afterwards. 

Alice, Pete and I went down to Logan for memorial day weekend. We went down on Friday afternoon after school. We went to the Clarkston cemetery Saturday morning before having lunch and spending the afternoon with cousins. We even got in some four wheeler fun in the afternoon. We had pizza for dinner out at David and Anica's and ended the evening with smores. Sunday we went to church with my parents and Katherine and then headed to visit the cemeteries in Logan and Hyrum. Monday we had an interesting memorial day where David decided to bully my dad into uprooting his whole back fence, and while I agreed it should be done, I don't think I realized what it would mean for our day. We ripped out a fence, the kids mostly helped (Alice mostly stole Grandpa's phone) we ate a delicious lunch, and ripped out more fence. (Heaven bless us and our crazy decisions!)

Casey and Kendal went up to State track (middle school) instead of going to Logan with us. Casey was over all the Kimberly middle school kids that went to the meet so he spent the day wandering the field from event to event. Kendal's event wasn't until mid afternoon. She didn't qualify this year for her events, however she chose to go with Casey since he already had to go and she ran the steeple chase. Kendal ended up coming in last. She struggled with the large hurdles and going through the water. She did her best and is determined to practice and do better next year! Sunday she and Casey dropped off flowers for me at the Twin Falls cemetery. They wandered around and found family graves. Monday Casey and Kendal got to have a more chill day. They ran errands and got to go see the new Guardians movie together!

Alice had her field Trip to First Fed park on Wednesday this past week. She had a fun time with her classmates and friends!

Wednesday morning Casey and Kendal (middle school) had a corn hole tournament at the city park in the morning and a dodgeball tournament in the afternoon; with an awards assembly after lunch. I got to go to Kendal's awards assembly. Kendal was given a leadership award for SOS. She got the silver medal for having Strait A's for her second year of middle school, and she received the George McAdams award which was so cool! (It's an award that has nothing to do with sports or academics it's based on the student's character, attitude, accountability, and so much more. I was proud of Kendal for being recognized for the amazing young woman she is becoming. Her friend Netta and cousin David were also recipients of the award!  

Alice and Pete had their second track meet on Wednesday afternoon. Thankfully the weather held out this week and gave us a sunny meet. Alice did well in her hurdles, but missed the shot on her 50 meter dash so she watched the pack run off for a couple of seconds then she ran after them. She won in long jump again! Peter got to do all of his events. He didn't have a great day in shot put, but he did well in his hurdles and 800. He was fourth in long jump! 

The last day of school Alice and Pete had a field day at school. I was caught up with Library stuff so I went and helped with Alice's class for an hour and a half. She went in for popsicles so I tracked down Petes class who was playing kick ball against another class from 5th grade. Kendal got to spend her last day at Nat-so-pa swimming with friends and classmates.
