Color Blast Party

The middle school always has an end of the year color blast party.  Courtney had a lot of fun with her friends.  They had a bunch of games, popcorn, otter pops, color packets, and a climbing wall. 

PDT 20 Years!

We thought we were finished with dance recitals but we had one more to go to.  Courtney's old dance team, Pizazz or PDT, was celebrating 20 years.  So they asked any former dancers to come and do a flash mob with them.  They had one rehearsal, the night before, then we went to the performance and acted like we were there just to watch the dancers.  At the end, they did the flash mob and it was so fun to watch.  The video is below.

Courtney is on the left and is kneeling.

You'll have to turn your computer on its side after a bit because I didn't realize how I was filming.

Orchestra Concert

It's the end of the year so there are all kinds of end of the year happenings.  Courtney had her orchestra concert and they did really well,

Here are a couple of their songs:

This is what happens when I turn my back and leave my cell phone sitting around.

Ironman

We love that the Ironman is in St. George and it will be in St. George for a while.  They signed a deal and St. George will host a Full Ironman in 2020 and 2023, the 2021 70.3 Ironman World Championships, Ironman 70.3 American Championships in 221, 2022, and 2024.  So we will have 6 Ironman races in St. George in five years.  It will be amazing for our community because they say each Ironman brings in around $7 million each year.  So with 2 one year and then 1 each of the other years, it will be amazing for our community. 

Anyway, the mountain bike team volunteers at the first bike aid station each year.  Usually, it's only Bryan and Ethan but Courtney and I got to go this time.

Yes, I know.  I don't get serious pictures of them often.  Ethan is being goofy and Courtney...I don't know what to say.

Here is Ethan with his best friend who is also on the team.

Bryan and Ethan were giving out waters and Gaterade to the bikers.  It's a crazy thing to watch because you have to be moving when you hand it off or the biker can't grab it and it falls.  I didn't want to do it so I helped clean up trash,

I did get a nice picture, finally!!

This was the last place for the athletes to throw their trash at our aid station.  They could aim and throw it in one of the holes.  It was fun to watch them try to make it.  Some throws were awesome and bounced up and into the hole.  Others didn't even get close.  But it was a fun thing for the athletes who were just in the Ironman to have fun (although that's weird kind of fun, if you ask me).

Rainy Days

Our weather has been really weird!  We had quite a bit of snow this year and we have had a lot of rain.  I'm fine with it as long as it keeps the temperature down.  We haven't turned on our air conditioner and we are trying to see how long we can go.  If the weather keeps turning cold, we may make it until June!

The kids get pretty bored though.

Soccer Girl

It was a warm Saturday when they played and they decided to look tough and use eye black.  I think it's fun!  They should do it more often.  Courtney's freckles really come out right after a game when she has been in the sun for 90 minutes.
