Five.One Years

 5.1 Years

• This was our birthday month. Sam turned 8 and Maggie turned 10. Sam had his party at the church with a bunch of boys. Maggie watched you and JoJo at home. You girls watched a lot of girl shows, which was probably the better choice than to be surrounded by 20 something boys. Maggie had a cupcake party here. Sam and you were able to sneak in at the end and make your own cupcakes. 
• It was parent watch week for dance. You were thrilled to have me stayed the whole time. I loved watching you dance and be a leader in your performance song. 
• The weather has gotten warmer so we set up the trampoline. You guys were excited to play on it. We had about a day or two of sunshine before a cold front swept through. The sandbox is still going strong. We even brought back sand the other day when we went to the beach. We are hoping to add a little more each time we go.
• Sam got baptized this month. Both sets of Grandparents were able to come for it. He asked you to give one of the prayers for it. Afterwards, we came home, grabbed a quick bit to eat, then headed down to the river to enjoy some sunshine. Over the weekend, the Grandmas played so many games with you. I think Grandma Matthews was gamed out by the end. It was just fun to hang out with them, be outside (first warmer days in a while), eat pizza and watch a movie. Grandpa Price was feeling good this trip (the last two times he has came to visit us, he was been sick) so it was fun to see him wrestle with you kids so much. You guys loved playing on the trampoline with him. The pond is filling up, so each day, we would walk out there with Grandma and Grandpa Matthews to check it out. It was really good to have grandparents!
