Concerts, Clematis and Casper

We finished up the school year in May. Our last kid is done with middle school. So weird.

Both Libby and Levi had their end of year choir concerts.

I’m still trying to get over how old she is.

Levi continued the tradition that Cade started of not telling us when he sings a solo or duet in a choir concert. :-(.

He did a great job but I was so shocked that I didn’t even get a video! Darn those kids!

Levi finished up his track season as one of two sophomores who qualified for state-as an alternate-in the 800 relays. Technically his time was 1/100th of a second faster than the other sophomore for which it is possible he celebrated just a little too much about. But we are proud of his constant pushing himself this season.

These two have to rehash every race together. I love how much Levi looks up to his dad for running advice, support and inspiration.
After school was out, he wanted some alone time so he went fishing and caught a fish!

Cade got transferred to not only a new area but a whole different state! This is how he told us where he was going:

Yes, he is now in Casper Wyoming and thrilled to be near some mountains and more civilization. Right after he arrived, however, he broke his hand playing basketball and has had to wear a splint.

the pinky (far right) has a piece almost chipped off of the knuckle.

We missed the biggest showing of the Northern Lights but were able to just barely catch a glimpse of some the next night. It was fun chasing them down as we drove further north.

Reagan did fabulous at car sales in May. He “Hat tricked” which means he sold 3 cars in one day on Memorial Day and then sold 2.5 cars the first day of June. Way to go, Reagan Dean!!!

We looked out our front door a few weeks ago on a warm afternoon and found this cute little family taking a break on our warm cement porch.

May means Clematis!!! My Clematis gets bigger and better every year!!!

Libby finished up another season of dance. It is so fun to watch how much she has grown into a beautiful dancer. She loves pointe and can’t wait to actually dance en pointe in a recital next year.

Rock made me his yummy pizza for Mother’s Day.
He also chaperoned the 8th grade celebration (with another dad who didn’t want to be the only male chaperone that day) Libby was thrilled to have him there.

It’s not Father’s day yet, but I just wanted to point out what an awesome Father and husband Rock is. From the beginning of this month when he held down the fort so I could go to Women’s Conference for 5 days, to being Levi’s personal trainer/coach/running therapist, to writing Cade every single week, to making our favorite sourdough pizzas or baking adventurous things with Liberty (including a strawberry rhubarb pie for my dad’s birthday) AND chaperoning a field trip- he cheers us on, challenges us, listens to us and supports all we do month in and month out. I love him and am so grateful for all he does for our family.
