Wheeler Farm

I wish I could have been one of those moms that could go on all the field trips with the kids during elementary school. But alas...I wasn't. Now that they are all in school it's easier for me to work out scheduling so that I can go and have fun with them. I was able to go to Wheeler Farm with Britney and her class and it was a lot of fun!

 

Mother’s Day

Mother's Day is always busy and rarely relaxing but it was fun nonetheless. The kids like to make me breakfast every year but since we had early church they decided to make me breakfast after church. We headed out to visit my mom then spent the evening with the Ericsons for dinner and to hang out. I love the pic of Bryn totally wiped out...dance hangover is a real thing and the girls are always completely exhausted after their conventions where they've danced their hearts out for 3-4 days.

 

After Dance Fun

After the Dare 2 Dance competition we headed to Leatherby's for food and ice cream. The girls love that place and it was fun to be there with their dance friends. A bunch all headed back to our house to swim and hang out.

 

After Game Huddle

I love watching the coaches talk to the team after games. Sometimes it's positive and encouraging but sometimes it's not quite so much. Lol. It's always good though and the boys seem to go away motivated to come back and continue working hard for the next game. 

 

Dry Needling

Brooklyn injured her high hamstring back in January and it has been a hard injury to heal in the middle of the dance comp season. This is where I injured my leg before it popped my bone off when I was 15 so naturally I freaked out when she started having pain there. So she has been super careful with it and stopped doing the moves that hurt and stretch that muscle. We've also been going to the physical therapist so he could help. He suggested dry needling and I honestly didn't think I could get Brooklyn to do it. This girl literally has had melt downs and panic attacks when we've gone to get flu shots so the idea of needles going into her leg was something I thought she couldn't handle. But she thought it through and decided she wanted to give it a try. Luckily she barely felt them and she said it seemed to help!

 

Bingham Basketball Banquet

It has been such a great experience to be a part of the Bingham basketball family this year. Brayden has loved every minute of it and has enjoyed the friendships he has made. We had the year end banquet where they recognized all the teams as well as the graduating seniors.

Bunnies

The girls LOVE to do any type of craft. When I got started on my annual dance stuffed animals they all wanted to help with any part that they could. We ended up painting the skirts of Brooklyn's team animal and they were thrilled to be able to help. I'll have to post the final product when they are done!
