Mesquite Grove and Gilbert Fire Station






On Monday we went to the Mesquite Grove. It is a community pool that has a diving area, a lazy river, water slides and a fun area for kids. It was only 91 outside in the afternoon that day. I actually got cold in the pool. Funny to think that if it gets 77 degrees inside I need a blanket. But we had a good time swimming. Then today our ward was able to visit the fire station on the corner by our house. We were in the first group visiting. About 60 kids were signed up. Madison liked it dispite her grumpy photos.

Nothing Happening




Madison got out of school on May 20th. She got B's and two C's so this summer we are doing a learning program. She has math, reading and writing she is doing. I made a planner for the whole summer and have everyday planned. She earns points which in turn we go and do fun things. Some include swimming in the Williams Field pool, going to movies and other things. She really took to the program, so far. She gets points knocked off for complaining. The dog had a adventure. He had an anal gland that got infected. We had to take him to the vet, they did surgery and he got to wear a "cone of shame" for a week. We also had to do a makeshift doggie door. Before we took it down Madison was doing her learning program one day and a lizard entered though the makeshift doggie door. I was upstiars giving the dog a haircut at the time and just heard screaming. She ended picking up the lizard and in her words "Chucking it" as far as she could out the door. About 5 feet. She later on that day saw the lizard in the front yard. I don't think he will come into the house anytime soon.

Madison's Birthday

 

Madison celebrated her 11th birthday on April 22. She had such a great time at her birthday party. They made hair things and played games. Sean said that the guests got just as much stuff as Madison did. She had a ball at the party.

Easter

 
Our Easter this year actually included Sean. He had Easter off so we got to spend it together. We had so much fun. On Saturday Madison dyed eggs. She got to do 11, it was a record number for her. Then on Sunday we all matched at church because we had too. Sean even got a Easter tie. Madison found her basket with the bunny I made for her and JR even got a crazy eyed lamb toy. For dinner we had fondue and the red velvet cupcake made by me. So good!!
