Our month was busy with soccer practices, games, and a lot of music concerts.
Joseph's spring orchestra started our month. The orchestra sounded nice.
I have known about Rainbow Loom rubber bands since Kimball was in elementary school. My kids have owned rubber bands and have always made bracelets with them....until....Eden bought a new kit and on the package it showed that you could make little animals with the bands. This has become Eden's new favorite pastime. Our first attempt at an animal was very frustrating and literally took three hours. After we figured out the basic process we have gotten much faster and we can usually make a creation in the time it takes to watch the YouTube tutorial. Eden and I sometimes make creations together as a fun way to spend time with each other.
Kimball "celebrated" King's Day and Liberation Day by flying his Dutch flag.
Poor Eden had to have two teeth pulled in hopes of giving her permanent teeth a chance to come in straight. She was very nervous and didn't really enjoy the shots, but she was a champ! She rested at home for an hour and a half after her extractions and then wanted to go to school so she could keep her perfect attendance record.
Rebecah's golf season ended. She was in most of the matches this
year and made a lot of improvements.
Eden had a chorus concert.
I went to the temple with my friend Carole.
Lincoln and Annika had a band concert. Lincoln didn't want to pose for a
picture so Annika posed with her friend, Emily.
Fifth grade field trip to the Syracuse Mets game.
Joseph's Birthday. Joseph's birthday was fairly low key since his birthday was on a Sunday. He golfed with Lincoln and Rebecah the Friday before his birthday and went swimming the day before his birthday so he found ways to celebrate. He requested Eden's favorite salad (BLT pasta salad) for his dinner and root beer floats for his treat.
Memorial Day Picnic
Our ward had the annual Memorial Day picnic and the kids invited friends this year so they would have people to hang out with. It was a cool, breezy day, but we had a fun time.
Jenga!
We attended Annika's chorus concert at the end of May. It was my favorite concert that we attended this month, but Annika didn't enjoy the director and wasn't excited about the concert. As soon as the kids were released she left the risers and we were some of the first people out of the building. :D
Eden had a field trip to Camp Talooi where she did archery, canoeing, cooking, etc.
She said it was a lot of fun except for getting all wet when she had to sit in the water that had gotten in the canoe.
Kimball went to Senior Ball. (At our school there is Senior Ball and Junior Prom.) Kimball asked a friend from work to go with him, someone he knew he would enjoy spending the evening. Kimball forgot the ball tickets and had to come back home for them so they missed their picture opportunity, but they grabbed a few informal ones.
Kimball with his friend Willie.
After Ball Kimball and Ella went out to a nice restaurant. Kimball said his steak was very good.
Soccer has started and that keeps us busy a few evenings a week and for a few hours on Saturday.
We have a month left of school and then Kimball's graduation!
