Evan's Kindergarten Graduation!

3 Kinder graduations down! How does the time fly by so fast?? I am so happy for my sweet Evan. He had a great year with an amazing teacher who my kids have all loved, Mrs. Ghering. She is such an incredible teacher, I couldn't have asked for a better teacher to introduce my kids to school!
 





Kickin' off summer at the Condo!

Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins came out for Evan's Kindergarten graduation. They stayed in their condo, and we had 2 fun days of swimming, BBQing, and floating in the lazy river. Definitely a great way to start our summer!
 






Award in Physical Education

Way to go Cade! He received an award for Physical Education at Cadwallader. He broke the record for the fastest mile ever run in his grade- in the history of the school! So proud of him:)
 



Bilbray Field Day/ Family Picnic


It was so fun to help out with the Kindergarten field day this year. Evan had a blast with all of his friends, and Kendal fit right in with all of the kids as well. It was strange not to have Cade there for the family picnic this year though. I guess that is something I will just have to get used to as the kids get older and start going to different schools:(

6 Incredibly Happy Faces!!

Words can't even begin to express the way we all felt this night. It was Bryce's last day of school. This has truly been the hardest thing our family has ever gone through. The sacrifices have been countless. We have gone through so many ups and downs in the last 4 years, but, we made it! Together as a family, we all did it! This journey has taught us what is truly important. I am so thankful to a loving Heavenly Father who helped us conquer all of the obstacles thrown in our path - and trust me- there were plenty. So now onto a new chapter of our lives! I can't wait:)
 



A bee sting = emergency room visit

I got a call from the kids' school saying Evan had been stung by a bee during recess. He was fine, we went to the park later that day, he didn't complain at all.
 
The next morning, however, we woke up to this. He still wasn't complaining much, so I decided to wait and see if the redness got better throughout the day.
 


Unfortunately, by the next day, it was so much worse, and we decided we better take him to the hospital. He couldn't even walk on it by this point.


Bryce was working that day, so he decided he would just come pick him up and take him. That way he could be the one to start his IV and get things going so it wouldn't be so scary for Evan. He was such a tough kid, didn't cry at all. He said the IV dad started didn't even hurt:)



Once at the hospital, the doctor said it was infected and that it happens all the time. I had no idea! So after IV antibiotics, he was sent home to continue taking them for the next 10 days. Thankfully it cleared up pretty quickly. So thankful for my awesome husband who can take our kids to the hospital in his sweet ride! Love my paramedic!
