The girls had their Spring Dance Recital on May 19.  They all did so great!  They looked lovely and awesome and they all had so much fun!  They had so much support from family that came to watch them!  They were so happy!  


 Madi is in Creative Dance.  Her class was so cute!  


Mayli was in Hip-Hop.  She loved it!  Here she doing one of her awesome Hip-Hop moves.  


Kate was in Hip-Hop.  She loved it too.  Here she is doing a super awesome Hip-Hop move.  


Our little dancers who aren't so little anymore!


All 4 girls at dress rehearsal!  Aren't they adorable!!!  :)

   

Here is Madi's dance...excuse the constant in and out of focus...I hate my digital camera.  One day I might get a new one that rocks!  Luckily we have an awesome video recorder that does rock (Mike bought it...I think I'll stick to letting him pick out the electronics from now on.)  and it actually has the whole dance on it!  Enjoy!  


Here is Kate and Mayli dancing!

Sherie Porter Wright Memorial Scholarship

On May 10, which happened to be exactly 2 months after the passing of our dear, sweet mother and grandmother Sherie Porter Wright, 2 scholarships were given in her honor.  Mom worked hard on the scholarship board in Morgan County for over 15 years and helped shape it into the program it is today.  There were 2 scholarships given in her honor to this year.  Recipients of the scholarship must be service oriented. 

  

These were the recipients of the scholarships this year.

This the a scan of the insert they put in the program in honor of Mom.  When it was time to give out her scholarship they said some wonderful things about her.  And everyone gave a standing ovation in her honor.  It was so touching and a wonderful tribute to an amazing woman.  We recorded the whole thing on video and hope to be able to upload it soon.  I will link it on here when we get a chance.  

What a special lady and how blessed we are.


Color Me Rad 5K

Back in April we ran the Color Me Rad 5k.  Part of the registration fee went to fund scholarships for students at UVU.  The Wright family decided to run it in honor of our mom, Sherie Wright.  She loved education and knew the importance of  getting a higher education.  She spent hours serving the students at Morgan High helping hundreds of students apply and receive scholarships.  Even students who thought they might not be able to get a scholarship could come to Mom and she would be able to help them find one that would work for them.  So as a family we decided to run this 5k in honor of her to help students be able to receive more scholarships.  The team name we came up with was Bear-ly Runners/Walkers.  Bear for Sherbear, it ended up fun because the ly stood for love ya (whenever Mike's dad texts us he ends the text in ly), and Runners/Walkers because....well...we aren't the fastest runners or walkers but our hearts were in the right place.  It was so super fun and a great way to honor Mom.

They are so funny!

We had a rockin' awesome time!  It was a blast running, walking, dancing, and just plain going crazy!  Our family out of the country who couldn't run with us wore white shirts in honor of Mom that day.  We missed you Matt, Michelle, and Tim but we felt your support!  We hope to make this an annual tradition to run in honor of Mom!  Families are Forever and so fun!  

Bathroom Remodel-YAY!

We remodeled the master bathroom a few weeks ago!  I LOVE it!  


Before and After


Here is a couple before pictures right before we started after I had already hung up the shower curtain.




All finished!


 I got this black basket at Hobby Lobby.  A little hot glue, ribbon, and flowers made it look so much cuter!!!  I love the baskets!




My cute towels!


So easy to fold this way!


Katelyn found these cute curtain hooks.  I love them!


Made this cute floral arrangement to hang up.




New light fixture.


I absolutely love it!  It turned out so lovely!  It makes me happy!  :)
