May 2023

May 3rd:  There has been progress on the snow melting--finally!

May 5th:  Neena is back in town so we had a post-birthday celebration for Emma and a pre-birthday celebration for Abigail.

May 9th:  With the amount of snow melt/water runoff this spring, it certainly is no surprise that the roads are taking a beating, including some of the trails.

We also celebrated Abigail's 10th birthday!

May 11th:  Emma had her last band concert.  She decided she does not want to continue with band next year.

May 12th:  Look at our visitor!  She has 4 eggs she is protecting.

My mom was in town for about a week.  She got to see a lot of the girls' activities and she was here for Mother's Day and her 70th birthday.

May 13th:  We went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point.

May 16th:  I took the day off from work to spend the day with my mom for her birthday.  We started with manicures and pedicures and then did a little flower shopping at the local nursery.  We ended the day with a delicious dinner at Twisted Fern.

May 17th:  Andy had surgery on his other hand for his Dupuytren's (when 1 or more fingers becomes permanently fixed in the bent position due to the gradual thickening/tightening of tissue).

May 19th:  Our school had a multicultural festival and each class performed a dance.  Abigail was in a couple of dances due to a shortage of girls in one class.

Abigail got a pretty cool gift--the Nailed It cookbook written it and signed by the very own Jacques Torres.

May 20th:  Today was one of my favorite days of the year--Running with Ed!  This year, we dressed up at yetis.  

May 24th:  One of the benefits of working at our school is the proximity to things around town, including Abigail's 4th grade track meet.   

May 25th:  Abigail's class did a poetry slam and presented (in Spanish) on a county in Utah.

May 26th:  Today is Andy's birthday!  It is also the Friday before Memorial Day weekend which means it's the start of the summer camping season!

May 31st:  Today was our McPolin talent show.  Abigail participated in 2 acts: Frozen (with her specialist class) and a math song with a few students in her class.
