Spring 2013 Top Ten

I can't believe how quickly the spring seemed to pass this year! But I'm super happy that summer has arrived! There's nothing better than laying out on the green grass, soaking in the hot sun, going swimming outside, playing in the ditch, taking evening walks, seeing the flowers bloom and the garden grow, and staying up late/sleeping in every day! Man, oh man, I love the summer!

At the conclusion of this spring season on this last day of May, I'm posting a re-cap of the seasonal Top Ten list:

1. Go to Vegas with Josh for our anniversary trip [done]
It was a fun (& short) vacation with my hubby, but so worth it! I loved spending time alone with him and feeling rejuvenated!

2. Spend Easter with the Perkins family in Utah [done]
We went to Utah at the end of spring break on Easter weekend and spent time with both mine and Josh's families. We all enjoyed the trip and had a spectacular time.

3. Support Ammon at his track meets [done]
Ammon ran very well in his first full competitive season of junior high track. We were grateful that we could attend most of his meets and watch him run!

4. Go camping [done]
This is always a highlight for our family every spring. We went overnight to Williams Lake campground not far from our home, where we enjoyed playing games, riding bikes, building fires, and eating good food!

5. Watch Jonah & Micah do Parkour at the Recital [done]
This was their first year participating in the sport, and it was a delight to watch them perform at the recital. They are so flexible and active, so this was a good sport for them.

6. Plant the garden [done]
We planted in two different installments: one day we did all the vegetables (corn, onions, potatoes), and one day we did all the pumpkins. The boys are used to the routine by now, so we got it all planted pretty quickly! The vegetables are already sprouting, which is such an exciting stage of growth to see!

7. See Kanyon perform at Kindergarten Graduation [done]
There will be a blog post all about this--but I do admit it was an exciting time to have our youngest child graduate from Kindergarten!

8. Go on School Field Trips [done]
There will be more to come about this later also. I was only able to accompany Kanyon on his field trip, but all of the boys went to different places with their classes this year.

9. Attend Ammon's spring music concert [done]
Ammon now plays with the high school's advanced band, and they played 3 songs at the spring music concert. He also played with the group at high school graduation (a first for him).

10. Celebrate Sons Day [done]
This was such a fun day for our family, and I look forward to blogging all about it sometime soon! ;)
