First Grade Program...And a fun year

The first grade program was awesome! Sam was so into it and so was the rest of his class. I loved it! Sam has a great teacher this year and I think that she is just wonderful. She has planned the best activities for them...it has been a fun year. She even planned a food fight last Monday for the last day before they went off track. A food fight...can you believe it? Sam was so excited for it and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. Mrs. Thomas is great and she loves her little first grade class.

Choir Concert...Footloose

Sydnie loves choir...she had another choir concert and the theme for choralaires was "Footloose". They had a lot of fun picking out their clothes! Sydnie did Choralaires and Madrigals this year and has had the funnest time in those two classes. She has some fun friends in there with her, which makes it so great. Sydnie loves music and she loves to sing...in fact, she has been singing since she was just little. If we would go to Salt Lake or somewhere in the car, Sydnie would practically sing the whole way there. We have gone from primary songs, to Barney songs, and now to whatever is stuck in her head that day...but she is literally constantly singing.

For Madrigals, they performed some "Annie" songs.

Bridgette helped Sydnie out with a costume and they had a make-up artist come and do everyone's make-up. Sydnie had a blast.

Cheers to You...

A Night to say goodbye...It is hard to see so many friends take so many different paths. Some are going to High School while others are staying at Syracuse Jr. High and Sydnie will be moving on to the new Jr. High...Legacy Jr. High. She and Kendra are the only ones that are going to the new school from the old squad and it is sad for Sydnie to be seeing them separate. She has made some great friends...like Cambria, Emily, and Megan. Here is a shout out to Syracuse Jr. High Cheer Squad...great job this year!

Cheers to You!

A Candle Light Ceremony...

The Clearfield Candle Light Ceremony is to celebrate the year and to say goodbye to the graduating cheerleaders and welcome the new. It is a fun night...there is a video that they watch that is taken throughtout the year, they introduce the new squad for the next year, and then they light candles for the new Clearfield cheerleaders and blow out the candles of the one's that are leaving. Lyndsie had a great year and was able to meet some fun friends.

Here is a picture of the old squad...

Here is the new squad...

Lyndsie really likes her coaches Jen and Cam. She has a fun time with them and they like her a lot too...they even tell me that they will adopt if ever I get tired of her. Ha Ha.

Trying to fit it all in...

Brinley has been so busy the last few weeks with soccer...it has been hard to fit in some play time! But finally, we managed! I am so happy that there are a dozen or more of great friends for Brinley only blocks away...it makes for a fun summer and off track time. Brielle, Mallory and Grace are over having some fun before Brinley will have to say goodbye again to travel down to Orem for another soccer game. Lots of fun!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day isn't one of my favorite holidays. Although I do love my mom very much and I appreciate everything she has done for me...the day is just too busy! It is so busy, you really can't enjoy the moments too much because there are too many things to do. I love going and visiting everyone and this Mother's Day we were able to visit everyone that has impacted my life...My mom, my step-mom, my Grandma Olsen, Grandma Thompson, and Steve's Mom.

This is a picture of my sister, my mom, and myself. Notice the earrings, they are from Lyndsie. Aren't they beautiful? The picture is from Sam, I especially loved the drawing of me holding a guitar and the "I Love You" written in a pattern! Brinley gave me a very nice homemade card with coupons in it of things that she will do for me! Sweet! And Sydnie helped me around the house...a great present too!

She did it!!!

Another cheerleading tryout! Sydnie tried out for Legacy Jr. High School...along with Savanah, McKenna, Kendra and many other friends. It was a long week with a lot of hard work on Sydnie's part. I think that it turned out good for everyone that I knew trying out and I am so happy for that! I am especially happy for McKenna and Savanah! It will be a great year for Sydnie to be able to cheer with such good friends. Here are some pictures of the night before and then after the tryouts. Savanah and Mckenna came over the night before to do hair together and get everything ready. The rest are pictures celebrating the day! Way to go everyone...go Silverwolves!!!

Good friends came over to celebrate with Sydnie...Bridgette, Sara, Taylor and McKenna
