May

Papa bear turned 76

We had our youth conference. 

 This year they decided to do a temple walk. I'm not always good at catching the vision of some of these types of activities; walk 18 miles to the temple? Why? But, they always turn out great and I'm always glad we did it. We got up early and they had lots of yummy things to make our own bag of trail mix. We walked along the Jordan Parkway for a couple hours and a group of parents met us at a park and made us a warm breakfast. We had an awesome speaker (my neighbor Mark) and then continued on to the temple. It was a lot of fun walking around with all these awesome kiddo's and getting to know them.

Spring Sports start up

(soccer for Jack & baseball for Ivan)

and emery has her year end tumbling show.

She's mastered her front and back walkover, roundoff with about 20 back handsprings in a row, her aerial, her roundoff back handspring back tuck and her standing back tuck. 

The 5th graders get to do a patriotic program at the Marriot Center in provo. 

It's long, but a really great little program with elementary's all over the valley.

Jack's friend Logan is Sadies brother

There always seems to be someone snuggling Kate each month

She's practicing her piano like a good girl

and this is her way of helping me do yard work

We spend some of our nights watching an episode or two of full house

May of course brings with it mothers day

Mom, i'm so sorry I didn't get a picture of you with my kiddo's. Mikes family it good at taking pictures and so it reminds me to do it while I'm there. I seem to always forget with my own family.
