Sydnie's class went on a field trip to a chocolate factory. She was convinced it was going to be just like Willy Wonka's factory so I was worried she was going to be very disappointed. Here she is waiting in line for the bus to come.
Once inside the chocolate factory, we were greeted by this HUGE rice krispy bunny. 
We learned all about how they make chocolate, caramel and lots of other wonderful treats.
The kids were very good to listen to the presentation, but really, they were just there for the CHOCOLATE!!!!!
This was a giant chocolate football that stood about 7 feet tall.
Finally, there were samples. Lots and lots of samples!!!! YUMMY!!!!

Then the activity we had all been waiting for...... We got to make our own chocolate pizzas!
But first here is a picture of eggs and bacon that were made at the factory. A few pretzel sticks made up the slices of bacon, white chocolate with a yellow M&M made up the eggs. So cute and so yummy!

Each kid got a tray full of goodies to add to their pizza. They had a bowl full of milk chocolate and then a variety of things to add to it (mini marshmallows, gum drops, M&M's, nuts, raisins, etc...).
Sydnie loved sampling the goodies and deciding what to add to her pizza.
When we were all done they packaged them in these adorable little pizza boxes! It was so much fun!
After the chocolate factory and all of the samples, we headed to the park for lunch and to burn off some of that sugar! The kids had a blast!
In April, Peyton got braces. This is her first of two sets she'll have to have. She was such a good sport at the orthodontics office. We had to take a picture of this crazy contraption!
Waiting for the glue to dry the brackets in place.
At the end of April we headed to SLC to visit family. Here is Sydnie with baby Emme. Oh how she's grown since we saw her last.
While we were in SLC we spent a few hours at the park with all of the cousins. Here is Sydnie spinning. She stayed in this one for at least 30 minutes. I don't know where she gets her love for spinning, it certainly isn't from her mother!

Nikky and Brylee sliding.
Peyton, Max, Chloe and Jake, right before Uncle Ben spun them all off of this lovely ride. After a few tears and a few minutes to catch their breath they all wanted Ben to spin them again.
Brylee loved the slides! We also were able to celebrate her 2nd birthday while we were in town.

Chloe spinning. Sydnie finally took a break to get her balance.
A very tired Peyton.
Both of the girls got to be the student of the month in April and May. Here is Peyton (on the back row) getting her award.
She was SO EXCITED!
Here is Sydnie receiving her award.

At the end of May Sydnie graduated from Kindergarten. She is getting so big! They had a cute program with lots of songs, then they each got to be announced, Principal Gillette said their name and what they want to be when they grow up. When Sydnie was announced he said that she wanted to be a princess. She was a little upset after because several parents laughed, but I explained that it was just because we all thought she was so cute.
Here is our little graduate with all of her classmates.

Sydnie with Mrs Wason.
Are my girls the only ones that go to the dentist or doctor and come home with masks and gloves? They can't resist asking for them anytime we go into a medical office. They have to immediately put them on and wear them home. I can't begin to tell you about the strange looks we've gotten leaving the doctor or dentist office from the people waiting in the waiting room. :-)
On this day it was a trip to the dentist, so not only did Sydnie get gloves and a mask she also received a new toothbrush. However, she did not let them clean her teeth...... They at least got x-rays and assured me she doesn't have any cavities. She is almost six and has yet to have a complete dental exam and cleaning.
And here is how we've been spending most of our time this summer (when I'm not working)! Both girls are on the swim team this summer. Peyton LOVES it, Sydnie doesn't love it, but she still participates most of the time.

These are their "game" faces!
Peyton is a professional now that she has her very own swim cap!
The first few meets Sydnie wouldn't jump into the pool, she would sit on the side and slide in. Now she jumps right in.
These were Sydnie's ribbons from her first meet. She was so proud of herself!
Peyton with her ribbons from the first meet.
Summer is almost half way over, I can't believe how fast the time is flying by! We are looking forward to a vacation next month, birthday parties in July and August for the girls and maybe another trip to SLC to visit family before school starts the second week of August.
