Makenna's Piano Recital

Makenna had her piano recital last Monday. This time it was a Patriotic Recital. Makenna's solo piece was "Yankee Doodle" and she also did a duet with her teacher. They played "This Land is Your Land." All of Makenna's practicing sure paid off because she did an awesome job.

Here is Makenna practicing before we left for her recital.

This is Makenna playing "Yankee Doodle" at home after her recital. (I didn't get the whole thing on film at the actual recital).

This one is her duet "This Land is Your Land" with her teacher, Molly.

Memorial Day

This year was the first year I have ever gone to put flowers on graves for Memorial Day. We went to visit my sweet Grandma Ballard who passed away just a year ago. I miss her so much! We also went to visit Dallin's Grandma and Grandpa who I had never even met. We told Makenna to introduce herself to them because of course they had passed away long before she was born. She was so cute, she sat down in front of the grave and said "I am Makenna Marie Price, my daddy is Dallin, and my mommy is Trisha." It was so sweet!

Butterfies!

For Easter my mom gave Makenna a Butterfly Garden. You send away for caterpillars that come in the mail and you watch them grow until they form a cocoon and eventually turn into butterfies! It was so fun to watch them grow! After they had turned into butterflies we decided to let them go in the garden! Makenna held one of them on her finger for a long time before it finally flew away!

Pre-School

Makenna is an official pre-school graduate! Kindergarten, here she comes and she couldn't be more excited! Here are a few pictures of Makenna and her pre-school friends at a few of the field trips we had throughout the year (at least the ones where I remembered to bring my camera).

Makenna on graduation day!

We went to Cabella's for one of our field trips.

Makenna had fun at the shooting range at Cabella's

We also had a field trip at the brand new Herriman fire station. It was pretty cool and the kids loved it.

This firefighter took us on a tour and showed us the fire pole. Pretty cool!

A tour of the fire engine.

They each got a turn to sit inside.

The kids were so fascinated in everything they saw!

Mothers Day

For Mother's Day, Dallin and Makenna got me this fun outdoor lounge chair and side table. I walked out of my room that morning and it looked like a picture out of a magazine so I had to snap a picture. Thanks Dallin and Makenna for a great Mother's Day!

Easter

Here are some pictures of our Easter festivities...

My Mom had her annual Easter Party and served these fun Easter Bunny pancakes and scrambled eggs.

Makenna playing some Easter games with her cousins.

Searching for eggs at Grandma's house.

The Easter egg's contained some "Bunny Money" and the kids got to go to Grandma's "store" to buy prises.

Grandma also took them on a treasure hunt and Makenna got her very own Butterfly Garden!

The day before Easter Makenna and I colored Easter eggs.

Makenna got Tangled this year from the Easter Bunny!

The Easter Bunny left some eggs around the house for Makenna.

My Birthday...

Well it has been almost 3 months since my birthday, but I thought I would post a few pictures anyway! I had a great day. It turned out that Dallin ended up taking the day off of work and played Mr. Mom while I finished up working. He did all my chores including getting Makenna ready and doing her hair. Later he sent me shopping while he and Makenna got my "party" ready. I came home and they surprised me with a pizza party and a new bike!
