Borgstrom Vacation 2022

Jaycee finished up 9th grade with honors. We are so proud of her, she works so hard and does so good in school! All through elementary her teachers told me she was behind, all of her test scores were low. I was so worried about her going to Jr. High. I worried for nothing, she had straight A's all through Jr High and it is because she works so hard!
Good job Jaycee!
On the last day of school we headed up to Tremonton for a soccer tournament. It was rainy and cold. Her team did pretty good. They lost to a boys team. So there is that. 
After her last game we headed to Emily and Josh's  in Idaho for the Borgstom family trip.
They had someone in their ward come drop some horses off in their pasture. The kids loved seeing the horses. Zaida sent 4 kittens up for them too.
They set up tables in their garage where we ate, did crafts, and played games. Up in the loft the kids watched movies. That is also where the girls slept. The boys set up tents in the garage and slept there. We, (me, Mike, Bensen and Vivian) slept in our trailer.
We had so much fun, we went to an aquarium, Bear World, we walked along a river and saw the Idaho Falls Temple and the Japanese Friendship garden. We went to a Rexburg Flood museum, a couple different pizza places, got cinnamon rolls from Mrs. Powell's bakery, tie dyed shirts, and so much more. We had so much fun!

May Catch Up

Happy Mothers Day! I am so grateful to be a mom. I struggle somedays, and can be the most inpatient person in the world, I am glad they put up with me! I am so grateful for my mom and my mother in law. They are both great examples of good mothers. They are both so different, but both amazing!

Of course more sports. Jaycee is finishing up soccer and track. She has decided to be done with comp soccer. It was a hard decision, but I think she made the right choice. She also played in a basketball tournament  with some of the girls from the high school team. They played down in Salt Lake, and did pretty good considering they had no subs. Wesley also finished up lacrosse his team won the big tournament! He also tried some 7 on 7 football, which he really liked.





We got to tour the traveling Old Testiment temple. We really enjoyed that.





Wesley's egg survived the egg drop! He put it inside of a nerf football. So far we are 2 for 2 on egg drops.


Wesley graduated from the NOVA (DARE) program. He was one of 7, and the only boy, who earned the NOVA coin. One of the challenges was you had to have no screens for a week. I think that is where they lost everybody.

Bensen and Vivian got to do some modeling for the jewelry company I work for. Aren't they the cutest?







Bring on Summer!

April Catch Up

Joy asked up to dog watch. Then Kailey ended up being home so we didn't need to. The kids were disappointed so Kailey brought them over for a couple of hours. Bensen was in heaven. He loves animals!

The love the tradition of watching General Conference at Grandma and Grandpa Borgstroms. The kids usually take notes or tally marks and get prizes afterword. There is always yummy food too!




Bensen loves Murphy too!
I loved coming into the room and seeing the kids all piled up. It is one of my favorite things.
Bensen lost another tooth.

Mike took more kids to the temple. I am so grateful for Mike! He is such a good example to me and the kids. He makes the appointments and invites everyone to go. He really is the best!

We dyed eggs. Another fun tradition.


Happy Easter!


Jaycee is liking track. I tried to talk her into lacrosse, but she wanted to do track. I am glad she likes it.
She ran the 4x4 relay, and threw the shot put and the javelin. 

Jaycee had her 9th grade dance. They went shopping for dresses and got ready at Paige's. They all so so cute! It is hard for be to believe they are almost done with 9th grade!




We got the garden ready to be planted.
I love spring! The kids were all in sports. Bensen and Vivian did so good at soccer, Wes is killing it at lacrosse. He even scored a couple of goals. Jaycee has improved so much in soccer, it is fun to watch.
Along with track. These kids are amazing and I love watching them improve and grow!
