Cute Titus and I hung out a couple days first week of May while Heidi tried to get her house put together. Sure hard to get anything done with two babies in the house!
Weston went camping with the scouts at Goblin Valley and Jared went with him, they did some cool hikes in the red rocks there.
My chickens are still alive and producing 5-6 eggs a day. One egg was missing its yoke and looked like a quail egg. Jared got a sprinkler guy to fix up our system and it works much nicer now and water doesn't hit the coop.
The gate on our fence rotted out and fell over, that and a couple other house issues--roof leak, plumping leak in kitchen--need to be addressed this summer. Our house is getting the 20 year itch.
Wes and Fiora had a choir concert and did great. Weston got to accompany his choir singing "I lava you" on his guitar.
Our nephew Seth Snow and his wife Katherine held a gender reveal party for their first baby, they are expecting a girl! Which is amazing because my sister Holly, and sisters in law Kali and Kelsy are also expecting girls. Kali twin girls! Yay for girl power.
My Aunt Betty Ann came to town for my cousin Sara Rappleye's wedding and we enjoyed the reception and the next day Betty ann came over for dinner. Its always fun to have her around.
Jared took Sky on a beautiful hike up above our home, Its so nice to live so close to the beautiful mountains.
Weston qualified for Nationals and made the bulletin board of honor at AAG, I thought that was cool so I took a picture. Deagan, Emmit, and Weston all qualified so their moms and I took them to Kissimmee Florida for 6 days to compete. We rented a car and a house together to help with costs. The weather was beautiful and it was a nice break from my regular duties.
We made it in time for Opening Ceremonies on Wednesday, huge arena with 2 training areas and a competition area, and over 800 athletes, JO and JE levels 8,9,and 10.
Thursday the boys had a short training session in the afternoon then we took them to Disney Springs to tour the shops and get souvenirs. Weston had a head cold and wasn't feeling well, but said he liked this excursion anyway. We saw lots of cool lego sculptures.
Friday the boys competed in the preliminaries. Weston did pretty well considering he didn't feel that good, got 3rd place on floor, and easily made it in the top 84 that moved on to finals. He looked so awesome in his nationals uniform.
The house we rented had a little pool in the backyard the boys got to enjoy that evening. We made them some dinner and relaxed.
Saturday there was no training or competition so we took the boys to Cocoa beach about an hour away. They had a blast playing in the not too cold water and sand. We met the coaches for dinner at Applebees after that.
Sunday they competed in the final competition. It was Weston's first time competing twice in one week, and on a Sunday, he wasn't quite on his game and didn't do as well in this round. But still placed 15th in the nation on floor and 49th overall. His score card shows the combined scores of both meets (floor scores cut off the 1) and his place is in red. Order is floor, pommel, rings, vault, pbar, high bar. I was just thrilled for Weston to have the experience and that he made finals, I bought some professional photos there and made posters of them for my wall when we got home. Savanna asked me "why is there a wall of Weston?" lol
Monday we had some time to kill after checking out of the house and before going to the airport so we stopped at Gator Land. My idea so I was worried it wouldn't be worth it, but it was really cool, hundreds of gators and a natural aviary, totally worth the price I thought. And that was the end of our fun Florida trip!
