Novalee's Spring

Novalee's been busy this Spring.

She had a Reading Resturant at her school.  All the kids dressed up as waiters and they came around and brought menus with books they can read to the parents.  The parents picked the book they wanted to hear and the kids read them to them.  It was adorable.  

Novalee replanted her first tree.

She has continued her love of writing.  She has a gazillion journals that she is always drawing in or writing in.  She also loves to leave notes for her family.  The other morning she woke me up at like 6:30am just to give me a note that went something like this, "I love daddy...

I love mommy...

I love Jared...

I love Sadie...

I love Kinsley...

I love Hyrum." 

She bridged to a Brownie in girl scouts!  I'm super proud of her for this.  Maybe part of me is living through her on this one because I used to think it would be cool to be a girl scout.  But really what is the neatest part is that she has blossomed so much since joining girl scouts.  She is so much more confident.  

Here she is giving her bridging statement.

She is also still doing gymnastics.  I took a picture of her the other day while she was still in her gymnastics leotard but she was mad she couldn't take a selfie and refused to actually look at the camera and made me promise and swear that I would immediately delete the pictures and not put them on Facebook.  :)
