May Highlights

We had a fun busy month!  Here is a look at some of our fun activities(starting at the end of the month)...

1- Last weekend Paul went on a overnight hiking adventure with some friends while the boys and I celebrated the last day of school.  We were invited on Saturday to go to the Alpine Slide for a birthday party.  Here are Bryson and Garrett climbing the rock wall there.

2- Our end of school party for Garrett and Tanner and all their friends.  I threw a big party along with my neighbor.  She had all the girls finishing 2nd and 4th grade, and we had all the boys in the same grades.  They had a great time doing a giant slip and slide (down a hill in our backyard), having water balloon fights with the girls, and playing water balloon volleyball. Bryson went with some friends to Dairy Keen after school then went to a late night party that night.

3- Memorial Day Weekend.  We had Cory and Kristen stay in Heber, we had a great time with them.  Here are the boys with Grandpa having a contest to see who could eat the most pancakes.

3(cont).-  After breakfast, we took the kids on a bike ride down Provo Canyon.  It was the perfect day for a bike ride!  I hope we can do lots more of these this summer.  Later that night, we had a BBQ in our backyard with some friends.  What a great way to kick off the summer!

4 - Piano recital - Garrett and Bryson played in a piano recital and did great.  The most amazing thing of the night was that Logan actually sat still and clapped at the end of every song!  Of course, we couldn't get a picture of Garrett unless he was pulling a face, this is the best out of 4 pictures we took.
5- Mckay graduated from Preschool!  His teacher did a fun little commencement and the kids sang a bunch of songs and we saw a video of their highlights from preschool.  Here is Mckay with his best friend, Carter.  
6- SOCCER! - This picture is of Bryson, just after scoring a goal. Yeah!  We finished up the season and had a late night party for 15 twelve year olds in our backyard.  I found out that 12 year old pretty much entertain themselves, all I need to do is provide food and a yard and they will do the rest.  

Oh, and we had comp. soccer tryouts again.  Now we have Bryson and Garrett both playing on different teams.  They start practices this summer, I guess you can officially call me a "Soccer Mom".

7- Fathers and Children's Outing.  This picture is a little crazy, but this is how I figured the night would be.  The fathers in our ward took all the kids camping one night, while all the Mom's had a night off.  Paul and the boys had a great time!   I got to go to dinner with some girls in my ward and enjoy a night off.  I was a nice wife though, I didn't make Paul take Logan.

8- Pinewood Derby!  Tanner our newest scout, took first place!  
7(cont) - Mckay was determined he needed a car as well, so Paul made 3 cars this year!  Mckay's car actually took 1st, but being only five years old, we couldn't give him a prize.
8- Logan figures out how to climb up everything!  He is a monkey and can help with anything now.
9- I had another birthday!  I am now 29 (again).  I had a fun couple of days with lots of parties and treats!
Wow!  Now summer is officially here, and the kids are out of school!  I am excited for the change of schedule and can't wait for all the fun summer activities.
