This morning we started early with a Pee Wee Track and Field Meet. Ethan participated last year and had such a great time. He was very excited about running again this year. He placed 2nd in both races he ran.
Then he won 1st place in the ball toss for his age group.
He threw it over 36 feet!
He was only able to place in three events so he just did the long jump for fun
Ella is our little runner. Today it paid off. In the first race she ran, she got mad that she couldn't start before the flag went down and so she threw a fit before starting. She placed 3rd on that race. 
In the second race, she knew what was going on so she was ready when the flag went down. She ran and ran and ran. She won 1st place. The only problem was she didn't want to stop at the finish line.
They tried to give her the blue ribbon and she just turned and then kept running...
...and running!
Later, Saturday afternoon, we had a Goodbye BBQ for the Whittle and the Wilson's. They are two families in our ward that are moving on to the next phase of their lives. We bought this waterslide so the kids would have something fun to do outside while the parents actually got some time to talk and laugh together.
Brook and Becky I will miss you dearly. You two have welcomed me in wholeheartedly. I will forever be thankful for your friendships. I am sad, for myself, to see you leave but I am genuinely excited and happy for your next step in life. I am looking forward to seeing how you will change and grow. I wish the best for you and your families. I pray that you will have "Brookes and Beckys" in the places you move to that will make you feel right at home. I love you girls! Thank you for everything you do.
After the BBQ, I noticed the sky had the most beautiful rainbow. It was a full rainbow that touched the ground on both ends. It was so close to me that I could not fit the entire rainbow in my lens. In the top left corner picture you can see that there is a double rainbow. The sky was so colorful and amazing. I watched it for a few minutes as it turned from blue to purple to pink. It was truly breathtaking. 
As if the day couldn't get any better, Heavenly Father said goodnight to Sunnyside with this beautiful sunset. I am so thankful for the beauties of the earth. 
Friday Tonight Ethan and I went on a special date. We went to dinner with Reagran and Annie and then to a dance recital that some of our friends were performing in. Ethan and I always look forward to the nights we get to leave Daddy and Ella at home and have our own time.
The dance recital was so much fun. Ethan and I clapped and yelled and danced in our seats.
After the show, Ethan gave Lia and Aline their flowers. They did a wonderful job performing their parts.

Thanks so much for a wonderful evening!! We had a blast! Thanks for being such a wonderful friend.
I'm bummed we were unable to go to the goodbye BBQ. It looked like a lot of fun!
I am so glad you got all those pictures of Ella running her race! I laughed so hard, I love the last picture of her way out there! Looks like so much fun. When are you coming to Logan? You are going to stay sometime at the house right? Ryker would love having the kids to play with! And of course, we'll be at the cabin too I guess.. And I am sorry its late, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! We'll see you soon!
It seriously looks like you have been having so much fun! That water slide looks AWESOME! I love you so much and I hope your birthday was awesome. When we go out (it Utah) we will have to celebrate it again and then tell the waiter that it is your birthday and that you have 10 kids. Didn't we do something like that at Chili's once? Love you!
