Fullerton family reunion

We started our summer vacation in St. George at the Fullerton family reunion.

This is most of the attendees.  Lots of cousins equals lots of fun.

Uncle Lloyd took us tubing at the Quail Creek Resevoir.  This is the Brett Stott y Brian Stott kids.

 Eliza loved the tubing.

 Uncle Lloyd had a great time trying to throw the boys off the tube. 
I think Adam swam so fast back to the boat because he is used to worrying about alligators.

The girls on the tube.  The scenery was amazing.

We spend a lot of time at Grandma Stott's house too.  She might have been ready for us to leave.

A bunch of second cousins.  So many kids kept showing up that I didn't even recognize some of them in this picture.

 We spent most of the time swimming in the pool.  Aunt Leanne and Uncle Lloyd were great hosts.

Eliza had a great time playing with her cousin Bryce.  I think she was sad to leave.

We had a great sponge war with all the kids, thanks to Aunt Stacey.

Adam showing off his mad hoops skills.
We all were very tanned for the beginning of our summer vacay.

Dance Time

It is recital time again. This year's theme was Four Seasons.

 Grace was an apple blossom fairy this year.

 I loved the song she danced to, it was so sweet.

 Her cute ballet class.

 Beautiful girl.

For acro she was a chicken and danced to the Chicken Dance in spring.  It was also very cute.

 I didn't get as many pictures of Merry because her classes were later in the evening and studio does not have great light.  For acro she danced to Summer's Not Hot.

 I loved this picture of her reindeer prancing for her Winter Sleigh Ride dance, even though it was fuzzy.

 Cute Reindeer.

She also danced to Bring out the Band in summer for her ballet class.  It was awesome and they got lots of applause.

Her patriotic gear.  I thought she looks so cute, she hated the choker.

Dance is painful.

She also danced to Peggy's Pie Parlor Polka but I didn't get a picture of that costume because I was at soccer.  The girls did a great job!

Kindergarten grad.

 It is hard to believe Adam's kindergarten graduation is already here.

We celebrated luau style.

Adam was very vocal in his song singing.

He loved his teacher Ms. Crumpler.

She was super patient and fun.

Happy Memorial Day

 We spent Memorial Day at the lake, swimming and paddling around

Jacob took Eliza on ride.

 Adam came with me, he is very wiggly and almost tips us over the whole time.

Merry loves paddling and jumping off the kayak.  Luckily paddles float otherwise I think they would all be at the bottom of the lake.

 

 Merry and Grace making mud pies, really good for the complexion I heard.

 Eliza reenacting Titanic.

Fun times at the lake.

Happy 12 years Jacob

 Nothing says happy birthday like a banana.

 A very patriotic cake.

 All smiles from the birthday boy.

 Making a wish.

 A few pictures from the end of soccer.

We missed a picture from the day he received the priesthood, but it was pretty awesome.

Mother's day

Me and all the kiddos on Mother's day.  

They are pretty awesome, I am lucky to be their mom.

Eliza is the only one who hung around for a picture by herself.

She is so much fun.

Spring soccer

Spring soccer is here. Jacob waiting for the ball to drop.

 

Grace chasing down the ball.

Merry and some other girls, one of which is striking an awesome pose.

Soccer dad.

Of course there is a lot of sitting a waiting for the other kids to finish.

And pretty sunlight in the evenings.

Eliza in the sun.
