with my passion for blogging, i’ve decided to implement a new weekly post:

flashback fridays.

i want to slowly add more memories from our past, not just the current happenings to my world of blogging.

on the last day of school, my kids had to go from 8:45 am-10:15am. {lame.}

then we all attended sela’s little gym show.

ate lunch at chuck e. cheese’s.

went home and the neighborhood kids started appearing at our house.

dusty organized a serious game of wiffleball. {picture above}

our kids’ school just had their second annual dance festival.

each grade performed a different genre of dance.
kiana’s class was all snazzy, dancing to ‘surfin’ USA’ by the beach boys, myla’s class did their square dance-inspired piece from their program, kj’s class did an african dance.

they were all cute dances, and best of all, it was a beautiful sunny morning!

the day before, may 24th, we woke up to 4″ of snow, and damaged trees, fallen from the snow/wind storm the night before.

that’s springtime in utah!

the 6th grade classes at our kids’ school just finished studying medieval times.

for the final hurrah, they organized and celebrated with an official joust hosted by the knights of mayhem and a medieval fair! both were incredible. did you know the world-ranked jouster lives in utah? he hails from eagle mountain, utah…fyi. {i didn’t even know “real” jousting still took place! i thought it only existed at the ‘excalibur’ in vegas!}

because…

kiana was able to begin early last summer/fall, exactly six months before she turned twelve, which totally delighted her!

this past week, center stage performing arts studio where my girls dance held one of their annual recitals. three recitals in one weekend, to be exact. {for me, it is a really fun & very exhausting weekend!}

friday night was the ballet.

kiana performed a piece with her ballet 7 class,
