Lucy and Juliette had their dance recital. Lucy was in three dances. She loves to dance! She made the dance company for next year and is really excited. 
May is always a busy month! Carol and Major had their final orchestra concert. Major received the award for the outstanding beginning student. Carol also had her final Symphony concert. I could tell a big improvement from the beginning of the year. They did an excellent job.
Major won 1st place in the original poetry contest for 4th grade. 
On Saturday we celebrated Juliette's 6th Birthday. She wanted a pizza party. All the children made their own pizza. I think everyone had fun. About 16 children came. I got worried after I invited everyone with how it was going to work. But the kids were great and didn't really need help. What a relief! It was a fun party!
LuLu our rabbit likes to babysit the kittens when Cookie, the mother, takes a break. Lulu is so sweet and the two kittens are so cute and getting big.
This is Lulu the "Easter Bunny". Carol made the outfit and put together the shot. I never know what pictures are going to show up on my camera when I down load. It's always a surprise.Major is busy with cub scouts and flag football. He caught two interceptions last game and make a touch down both times. It was their teams first win! He is such a responsible boy! I just tell him what to do and he gets it done! He is getting really good on the piano. He makes up stories, poems and songs all the time. He reads constantly and always tells us something interesting that he learned. He loves “Popular Science” magazine and “National Geographic Kids”. He reads “The Friend”, “The New Era”, and “Guideposts Magazine” cover to cover the day we get them! His sisters are also very proud of him and love him very much!
Lucy loves to dance! Almost everyday she turns on the ipod and makes up dances for hours. They are actually really good. She is getting a little better about keeping her room clean and getting ready in the morning. She is looking forward to getting baptized. She is a very loving and sweet girl.
Juliette is as funny as ever. The other day she sang to the fireplace (she could see her reflection) for about an hour, all the “Hairspray” songs, with actions. She didn’t know most of the words so she just made up stuff, but she definitely had the melodies down. It was so funny watching her. She is so dramatic and quite the performer! She makes us laugh all the time! She is doing better in school and is really sweet.
Today I took the kids and my two nephews to the Biosphere 2. It was really fun! We all enjoyed it very much! I have always wanted to go there. 
This is in the Rain Forest. It also has a desert and an ocean. I think my favorite part was learning about and going into the "lung" that pressurizes the whole thing. It was very educational and interesting!
This weekend Carol decided she was going to make "Cat Dresses". This is her first one. Our poor cat didn't like it too much! She is now making one for her teacher's cat.
Major broke his pinky playing basketball. The first time he injured it he just sprained it. The next week he did the same thing, but this time it broke. But that didn't stop Clint from signing him up for flag football! 
Carol and Major ran for school offices last week. Carol ran for President and Major ran for Historian. Neither of them won, but they learned a lot. They had the best posters. Everyone especially liked Carol's. They also did well on their speeches. 
There was a lot of competition. About 10 kids ran for each office. They did their best and hopefully they will win next time.
