The end of another school year

I can't believe how much Mckinley has come to love running. And I also can't believe how much it is absolutely a year round sport. She goes running at 7 am every day in the summer. I'm so glad she can drive herself this summer so we don't have to wake up that early!

Ava and a bunch of her friends all wore pink for twin day at school.

Jackson turned 7!


We invited his friends to a party and took them to Hangtime. The boys had an absolute blast!


We got to help out at the State track meet at BYU and it was so much fun! Serena was a workhorse and was there for almost 12 hours straight!

Tyler, Kallie, and Merrick even came to help and we had a great time helping with hurdles.

Ava finally got to go to the color run!

We took the whole family to see the Michael Jackson movie at the theater and loved it! We came home and looked up some of his original music videos on youtube for like 45 minutes!

Mckinley's end of year track party was lots of fun. 

Last day of school! These guys hardly went the last week because it was so pointless. 

Our two elementary kids who had tons of fun stuff every day at the end of school!

Always love the last day celebration coming out of school! Ava got to go home with Millie after school and played with her the whole day.

Mckinley's high school years are gonna fly by and before we know it she will be out of the house!

Mckinley turns 16!!

Tyler played volleyball with the MV feeder league and his team was not great but he was so good and so fun to watch!!!

The sand park is still one of my favorite places ever. Ava's friend Millie came along with us.

And Luke came to play with Jackson.

Kallie had a dance performance at school for her dance class and it was really fun to watch her!

Brandon bought himself a new car. He got another Hyundai Tucson so he could let Mckinley drive the Tucson he bought two years ago.

Mckinley was sooooo excited to turn 16 and finally get her license. It was really hard for her being younger than all of her friends and having to wait so long to get her license.

She had the first appointment of the day and we were out of there in like 4 minutes!

And then of course she had her region track meet that night. Perfect way to spend her birthday.



She had all her running girl friends over for a party and they had a blast! They all gave her the sweetest notes with their gifts. Just love these girls so much!

Kallie's soccer team destroyed everyone and took first place in the "tournament." Never lost a game the whole year.

Outback for Mckinley's birthday dinner.



War face paint day for Ava's soccer game. Can't express enough what a fun season this was!
