Some of our May flowers

 Can you believe that the school year is over!  It ended with some good things!


Kenna's golf team qualified for State and placed 7th overall.  Way to go girls!



Faith won the Youth Rising Award for the Josephine County Food Bank for her years of service.



We took her school on a field trip there and they loved it.



Natalie participated in her vocal recital and she did such a nice job - we've seen tremendous growth in her as a singer.



We helped paint a pavilion for ServeGP



Faith promoted from 5th grade to 6th grade.  Say what???!!!! It was a lovely little ceremony and my favorite part was as the kids walked past their classmates they were high fiving them all the way down the line.



We got Murphy bunk beds for our grandkid room!  I'm so excited!  Josh assembled them and he did such a good job.




Also - I am apparently not the only one with an ice cream problem.  Ahem.



Brynne was featured in a BYU Alumni magazine story and we had so many lovely people offer us a copy or say they had read it and loved it.  She's off to new things - graduate school at ISU in the fall.


May is one of those crazy months but all in all it was so delightful.

I think I posted this photo on Facebook....can't wait until my girls are home and I can hear all about EFY!!!   I have missed them but know they are having a blast. My little girl loves her baths!  She's turned into a monster crawler, and this week learned to pull herself up to a standing position, so baby-proofing just went to the next level.  She loves to play with her siblings.  She follows them around while they enact their pretend plays and chews on things while she watches whatever they are doing.  She is darling and we love every second with this girl! Four days after scout camp, the scouts had the unique opportunity to earn their archeology merit badge.  They were able to participate in a real 'dig' a couple hours south and be taught by an archeologist about what they were looking for.  They found some Indian arrowheads and Logan was able to bring home some obsidian souvenirs.   Boys love dirt!

Second family/Reunion/Anniversary

 After our first family visitors left we had a turnover day, and then the next family group started streaming in.  ;-)  We had some family stay with us and some had arranged their own housing.  We planned three days of activities.  One thing that I loved was having all my sisters together - that is a rare treat. Not too many photos from the anniversary picnic.  We had professional photos taken which will be coming in a few weeks.  It was crazy hot but we had a good time nonetheless. On Thursday the sisters packed up our kids and went to the redwoods and enjoyed the afternoon playing in the river at Jedediah Smith park.  We got lucky with the BEST weather. And that concluded our family reunion and anniversary celebration.

First Family

 Oh goodness - it's always a treat when we get Nathan and his family all to ourselves in Oregon.  It's a sacrifice for them to drive all the way out here in a busy summer.  This year they came so that Aves could attend FSY with Kenna and Natalie.  While the girls were gone, the rest of us played.  Faith had the week of her life.  Summer Camp at Miss Annie's with her cousins was a highlight. We also read books galore, ate treats, went to a baseball game and played and laughed hard together.
