~5th Grade Program~

In 5th grade their program is a talent show.  They have the students play the recorders, sing songs, and then they have several students do a talent, from playing the piano to speed stacking. It is fun to see the different talents of the students.

Mckell was chosen to show off her talent of dancing.  She did her competition dance to the song Tightrope.  I am so proud of her for doing this.  I would have been so scared to go in front of the whole school and parents and do a dance alone.  She is amazing!  I need to follow her example and be more brave.  Way to Go Mckell!

Mckell is my best friend.  I love her!!! I am so blessed to be her mom!

~Sing~

Mckell has loved being in the school choir.  I love that she participates in extra curricular activities.  It was fun watching her perform at her spring recital.  We even got Hunter to come along to support her.

I love that my kids have grandparents who are always willing to come support them in all that they do.

~Iowa~

Dave served his mission in Iowa, so when Mckell got to choose which state she did a report on there was no question in her mind.  She chose Iowa.  It was fun to learn some interesting facts like Iowa is home of the worlds largets golden nickle, it homes the worlds most crooked street, pigs outnumber humans 4 to 1, and it is against the law to kiss a man with a mustache in public, lol.

~Family Get Togethers~

It was fun to have all the family up visiting.  It's not often that we are all together, so we had to document it.  We missed Michelle, though.

~Happy Birthday Garrett~

My kids LOVE getting breakfast in bed on their birthdays.  Garrett didn't stay in his bed through the night, so he had breakfast in Mckell's bed. (He tends to do this a lot lately.  He will wake up in the middle of the night and go to someone's bed cause he gets scared, lol.  The kids are all good sports to let him do this.)

Garrett is so much fun.  He loves anything Star Wars, loves playing with his brother and sisters, and is such a big helper to me.  He completes our family.

Happy 4th Birthday Garrett!

~Ropelato April and May Birthdays~

We have a lot of April and May birthdays on the Ropelato side of the family.  My kids love getting together with their cousins to celebrate birthdays.  It's fun that they have cousins their age to play with.

Here are just a few of the birthday kiddos with their cakes.  Mckell, Garrett, and Katelyn.   We also celebrated Andrew and Abby's birthday's. (I really should have gotten a group shot)

Garrett loves everything and anything Star Wars.

The girls had fun playing a game where they taped up their fingers and tried to put lipstick on or something like that.  Such cute girls!!!!
