Boating, Swim Lessons and Racing Oh My!

 The bunk beds have finally arrived.  I have been researching full size bunk beds for quite awhile now. Since both of my kids had full size beds I knew it was going to be hard to find full size bunk beds because not many furniture stores seem to sale them. And I did not want to settle for anything less and get twins because then I would have had to get new mattress' and bedding so that was not worth it to me. I went to so many stores in utah and salt lake county with no luck. Thank heavens for pinterest I started searching online and came across a website that had a few of them. Also I was being picky because I want these to last till they leave for college. I figure we wont ever have to buy beds again and since I was having another girl it worked out great because Kenz doesn't have her own bedroom set and I wanted white beds for my girls and now I have them! So I found some and we picked this set and I could not be happier with them! I will have to get a better after photo on the next blog but I had to get  a picture of them installing the beds. A big thanks to Jono also, he is one of the best friends we could ask for he is always so willing to help with things like this that I'm sure most people would not want to but he is so helpful so thank you Jono for all your help it does not go unnoticed!

 Monday for Memorial day we went boating with our friends Tylor and Abby and their boys. Sadley for us the weather was not boating weather and it was quite windy so we floated in the marina area but honestly it still was so much fun to be floating on a boat soaking up the sun!

 Cohen and Kenz started swim lessons this week and I could not be prouder! Kenz was really nervous because last year me and her did the mommy and me class so this year she was scared to go in by herself but for some reason that day she changed her mind and was so happy. She even listened to the teacher and did everything she was suppose to I was so proud of her!

 Also it was funny when I walked in I saw my friend Marilyn and her two kids which are both good friends with mine so Kenz and Lily are in the same class which has probably helped a ton. Plus it's fun hanging out with Marilyn!

 Cohen is doing really great too! He is becoming such a little swimmer!

 Walking to swim lessons holding hands. I love when these two are sweet to each other so I had to capture the moment!

 Cohen's 3rd race. Of course like the past few race nights it wasn't great weather. It started out okay but then it got rainy and colder and made the track a little harder. But that did not stop Cohen he did amazing. I am so proud of him. It's been a crazy journey with him and racing. Last year he took last place pretty much every time and this year one race he will be amazing and then another time he might be a turtle but last night was amazing. He did not let the crappy track get to him. He took 2nd twice in the Pee Wee shaft class and 4th twice in the Pee Wee 4-6. He did awesome I cannot say enough how proud I am of him!

 Me and Kenz cheering Cohen on! I love how she has Buzz zipped up in her hoodie! Silly girl!

 Here is the storm that went over us. It was really beautiful and my camera does not do it justice!

 The kids showing off their trophies. It was a great night!

 And I love these little side kicks they are such good sports to come and sit through hours of not great weather cheering on their brothers! Love it!

Dirt bike racing and Kindergarten graduation

 We signed Cohen up for another year racing dirtbikes. He loves it, he may not be the fastest one out there but he really does love it and I have thouroughly grown to enjoy watching my boys race! Here he is at the starting line for the first race. It was super super cold and windy that night!

 We even talked two of his best friends in our neigborhood to come race this year with us and that has made it much more enjoyable! Here is the best picture I could get of Cohen, Jaxon and Bradley

 Cohen took 6th overall in PeeWee 4-6 out of 13 kids I was really proud of him and then he took 2nd over all in PeeWee Shaft out of 7 kids so it was a great night despite the weather!

 Kenzley loves her stuffed animals. She calls them all her pets and they go EVERYWHERE we go. She has to take, Buzz, Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, Banjo, Coby and Sophia. We even have to have a back pack to carry it all. She sleeps with them all every night and in the morning when she wakes up or at night before she falls asleep you can hear her in her bed talking to all of her friends!

 Cohen's second race was the daddy son race, where the dad's could also race for free that night. It was of course super windy and cold again but we had fun. It was a little hectic with Cohen racing 4 times and Dallas racing twice and during Cohen's first race on his last lap right before the finish line his bike just stopped so Dallas between races had to fix it. I was so stressed for them both but they did good and it was great to see Dallas out there. It's been awhile and he did awesome, no wrecks or anything I think he took 2 or 3rd. Cohen finished 9th out of 13 in the PeeWees and 3rd out of 8 in PeeWee shaft so we had a slower night but Cohen said the track was pretty torn up from the big bikes. Hopefully next time we will have better weather and go a little faster!

 Cohen also had his kindergarten graduation! I cannot believe where the time has gone. If you asked me 6 or 7 years ago how my life would be I couldn't even imagine how happy I would be yet so sad that my little guy is graduating and growing up! I love Cohen so much and the sweet spirit he brings. He really has always been such a good kid. For the most part he is really obedient. He is very chill and relaxed and likes to go at his own pace which can drive me and Dallas nuts sometimes because he is so slow at getting ready or racing but he is just so chill. He is such a sweet and sensitive boy. If there is something sad on tv he will start crying to it and if I'm sad he is always right there to give me a hug! He loves hanging out with his friends and riding bikes and scooters he is a pro at it. In fact he is probably faster on his pedal bike and jumps higher on it then his dirtbike! He is amazing at it! Also this year in school he has done amazing. He is full on reading now and spelling lots of words. He can do easy addition and subtraction. I just can't believe how much he has learned. I swear I wasn't that smart in kindergarten. I also was able to help out a lot with his class since I was the home room mom. I'm not sure I would do it again but it was probably harder since I was pregnant and so sick the majority of the year. Plus it's hard to get other moms to help out with the parties. But I did like coming to his class and seeing how he did and what they did and also getting to know all of his classmates! For his first two years of preschool and then Kindergarten I went on every field trip except for the very last one and I think he was sad I didn't go but it got too hard with having Kenz and being pregnant, but I have loved being involved as much as I can! I am so grateful to Dallas that I have the opportunity to be a stay at home mom and that this is my job. I know sometimes I get down on myself that I can't help support the family financially or things like that but this is a pretty big job being able to walk Cohen to and from school everyday, go volunteer and be there for him. I am one lucky mamma!

 I loved his closed lip smile, so cute!
