The End of School

We have been so busy enjoying summer that I haven't taken the time to post about the end of school (or anything else). We recently wrapped up preschool, 2nd grade, and 5th grade. Every year when school ends it makes me sad to see how fast my kids are growing, but this year is especially hard because my little man will be going to Kindergarten in the fall. He is so social and ready to go, but I'm going to miss having him home all day with me. I am going to be a mess when that day gets here, but in the meantime we are going to try and have the best summer ever!

Two Trips to the Airport on the Same Day

Early last Monday we went to the airport to see Nana and Bumpa off on their mission to England. It was so hard to say goodbye to them, as we knew that it would be.....so to help cheer up the kids (and ourselves) we surprised them with a trip to Disneyland. We waited to tell them until we had left the airport with sad kids and were headed to breakfast in Salt Lake. They were shocked and excited, and it was a great way to help dry up their tears. It was so hard to pull off a surprise like this (and we only had to keep it a secret for 3 weeks) but their reactions were definitely worth it...So, after breakfast we went back out to the airport and headed to Disneyland. We had a great time together and made some fun memories as a family. The older kids were super brave and went on almost all of the rides. Finn on the other hand was the biggest wimp ever and hardly went on anything ( I swear we are leaving him home next time). Still, we all had fun and enjoyed our week off together! I just love this family of mine!
