Kids Having Fun...

Last week was Spirit Week at Mueller Park Jr. High. During the Spirit Assembly, the cheerleaders and officers did a synchronized swimming skit. It was hilarious!

Getting ready to dive into the "water" to the Chariots of Fire music...

When they lifted Hailey up she had a mouthful of water from a hidden water bottle and she spit it out like she was coming up out of the water. We were cracking up!

The final synchronized bow...

On Saturday, Hillary came up from Provo to take her brothers to the Dew Tour in SLC for their upcoming birthdays (all three of them are in November). John and I had gone to dinner with some friends and when we came down the driveway at 7:30 we saw a group of boys hanging out and thought Garrett was in the house. I didn't realize he was the ONE IN THE MIDDLE!

One of the best parts about the Dew Tour are all the freebies they give away--shoelaces, sunglasses, backpack bags, stickers, etc. The boys brought home so much stuff they had enough to share with their friends that came over later that night to hang out.

If you see a boy with neon orange shoelaces, you'll know he either went to the Dew Tour or is a friend of Garrett and Grayson...

How Time Flies...

Fun in the tub... 1999 (Garrett - 5-1/2; Hailey - 4; Hillary - 7-1/2; Grayson - 6 mo.)
This morning I sat in front of the computer for a couple of hours trying to get Hillary signed up for housing at BYU for Fall/Winter semesters. I have to do the same thing Monday morning for Summer semester which begins June 22 and when Hillary will move out and be on her own.

It made me reflect on how quickly time goes by... I have also been working on her scrapbooks with the goal of getting those completely up-to-date before she leaves home in a couple of months. This picture is one I wanted to add to one of her scrapbooks because these kids all look so darn happy.

The last reminder of how fast she grew up was when I called John this afternoon as he was at T-Mobile getting Hillary her early graduation present and instead of John answering his phone, Chan from Flips Gym answered his phone and said she had run into them and he knew I would want to talk to her so he handed her his phone. Well... she went on for five minutes saying she couldn't believe I had a child leaving for college and she remembers when Hillary started at Flips when she was tiny, etc., etc.

Time flies... whether we want it to or not!
