May is always a busy time for us. With school winding down for the year, making summer plans, and just wising we could be outside enjoying the great weather, even though it is a busy time, we also seem to get really trunky. Well this May was no exception but we did manage to get things done and have some fun too.
During the last week of school, the classes get to go to the splash pad and have an end of the year party. Logan's class is pictured below. He loved 2nd grade especially his teacher.
On the last day Super Spirit Friday of the school year, Emily and her friend Ayzleigh went all out with their school spirit. Since it would be their last Friday in elementary school, they wanted to go big so they decked out in orange and blue.
Also during May, Emily entered the Hyrum Library's writing contest and she won first place!
Congratulations Emily! We have a budding author on our hands. She loves to write adventure fiction. This story was all about a girl who didn't know her mom was a spy and the adventures she goes on to save her mom after discovering the truth.
I am glad Emily won first in this community contest because when she entered her story into the school story contest she won second place. She was a little disappointed in second place but I told her it was still awesome to win.
Emily is also loving Young Women's.
Here they are ice skating for one of their activities. It is great to be done with the Zoom meetings for YW. Emily is the president of her YW class and is always thinking if ways to include all of the girls. She does a great job.
Emily has also been busy with Hunter's Safety classes.
Here she is taking her shooting test for the class. Because of Covid, everything moved to online so her Hunter's Safety class was an online course she did herself. Then when she completed the modules, she met in person for the shooting and written test.
Russell and Emily had a good time learning together. After getting her .22 for Christmas, she was anxious to learn how to shoot it and liked going out and practicing. She got to be a pretty good shot as you can see.
Well she passed her Hunter's Safety and earned her Blue Card. Now she can go hunting!
These are just some fun pictures of Russell and his fire crew. Each year they get updated pictures. Russell is still loving his job and is now acting in as captain every once in a while. He likes not being the grunt anymore.
We made it through May. The kids graduated to the next grade, and they did not have to wear masks the last week of school. That alone was probably the best part of the whole year! Now bring on summer!
