May's Wrap-up

After looking through all of my pictures, it looks like we did lots of fun things during the month of May!

Let's see if we can wrap everything we did up in one post....

Clint and I celebrated our 14th year anniversary!  I LOVE this man so much!!    I can honestly say I love him more today than the day we were married.  He really is my everything.  I couldn't be more happy that I am sealed to him for time and all eternity.

We had a fun family BBQ to celebrate Mother's Day!  I love that we have a holiday dedicated to the moms in our lives.  I have the greatest mom and I love her with all my heart.  I also have the world's greatest mother-in-law.  These two ladies are so special to me.  I love them both so dearly. 

Clint ran the Ogden Marathon.  I think this marathon is something like number 13 or 14.  Seriously!!!  I can't even imagine running a single marathon, not alone several marathons year.  He is my HERO!

I love this family of mine!

My niece Jessica had her seminary graduation.

Blakley's preschool class took a field trip to the Gateway Children's Museum.  Bentley, Kenli, Benson and Ally got to go with us.  She is so lucky that her cousins go to school with her!  Bentley is in her class and Benson is in the older class.

Best Friends!

Cody and Benson

She loved playing cashier!

Ally

On Memorial Day, we went around to family graves and left flowers.  We went to two cemeteries and eight graves.  We shared lots of memories of our loved ones.  We have been blessed with so many great family members.  Heaven is going to a great reunion when we are reunited again.   

Tanner was awarded "Outstanding Student" at his year end assembly at school.  6th grade has been such a great year for him.  He adores his two teachers and has so many new friends.  I couldn't have asked for a better school year for him. 

My baby girl had her 3 year old preschool graduation!  She is done with her first year of preschool.  She passed with flying colors:)  They had a little ceremony at the library to show off what they have learned.  Smarty pants!  I must say though she looked so cute in her cap! 

She love, love, loves Ms. Hilary

Love you baby girl!

I am sure that we did lots that I am missing.  But I'm pretty sure I hit all of the major events!  Looks like May was a good month for us.  On to June!

Carter the Kindergarten Graduate!

He has the first year of elementary school under his belt. He did it! He survived! I'm sure the teachers are thankful that the year is now over, yet going to miss him like crazy. I'm sure he entertained them a lot, yet probably needed a little help in the listening department:) Regardless of how he was at school, he had a lot of fun and has grown up tons.

He learned:

to read

the pledge of allegiance

to sing the star spangled banner

memorized parts of Declaration of Indepence

to get along well with others

to have FUN at recess

to count to 100

to do homework

to count money

to write his first and last name

to follow directions

Wow! What a learning year for him!

They had a real ceremony complete with diplomas given out by the principal. Carter thought he was really BIG stuff.

Look how proud he is to have the diploma in his hand. He was beaming and grinning from ear to ear! It was so funny to watch him walk across the stage. If he could of ran and skipped across it, he would of:)

We really missed daddy. He was in San Francisco for a business trip. Luckily, grandma Sue got to come with us. Thanks mom!

Mrs. Brown

Teacher Aides

Ms. Emily, Ms. France and Ms. Wendy

My cute niece, Jessica, watched Blakley while I went to the program. (Thanks Jess, I was able to seat through the whole thing without getting up:)) While we were there, Jess and Blakley made Carter a candy necklace. That made the day complete!! He felt like he was big like the 9th grade graduates!

We survived Kindergarten! I am going to have such a hard time when school starts up again. He will be in school all day long with his brothers. I am going to miss him and so will Blakley. She follows him around all day long. We're going to be a little lost without him. Good Luck in 1st grade Buddy!

Tristin's Promotion!

My darling niece, Tristin, had her 9th grade promotion last month. She is going to be a big 10th grader next year!! I can't believe that she is old enough to be going to high school. Time flies by soooo fast! Pretty soon Tanner is going to be going to high school. AGHHHH! Now that freaks me out a little....OK a lot!

We made Tristin a candy necklace to wear for the night. We used all of her favorite candies (all fruity stuff skittles, jolly ranchers, starbursts....) Yummy! We didn't have to worry about anything melting this time. Grandma Terra brought her a beautiful bouquet of wild flowers, while Rob brought a dozen roses. Both were so PRETTY! She is one lucky girl!

What a darling family!

Still missing Kimmi though:(

Sure she was with them that night!

Thanks Tris for inviting us to your big night!

You looked absolutely Beautiful!

Have so much fun in high school!

10th grade watch out! Here comes our Trissy!

Troy's Kindergarten Program

Troy had his end year Kindergarten Program on June 4th. He kept calling it his graduation so we treated it like it was. We went out and bought him a snazzy new outfit. He was Mr. Too Cool for School! We invited his cousins Lela, Jessica and Tristin to come and watch.

They sang a bunch of fun songs like: "ABC Rap", "The Three Little Pigs", the "Rainbow Song", the "Thank You Song" and "Skinamarink." Troy sang his little heart out!

Afterwards, we asked him where he wanted to go to lunch????

Panda Express was his answer (of course...I should have known)

Troy and Mrs. Wood

He Loved having her for his teacher!

I can't believe my baby boy just finished Kindergarten. It is not even possible that he is that old already. He is so ready for 1st grade. Good Luck Buddy:)

Jessica's Graduation

My sweet niece, Jessica, had her 9th grade promotion on June 2nd. She is going to be a big 10th grader next year!!! I can't believe she is old enough to be going into high school. Wow time flies by! I can remember meeting her for the 1st time when she was just a toddler and now look at her.

Lela and I made her the candy necklace that she wore that night. We tried to make it with all of her favorite candy....all chocolate! That a Girl! Too bad it was so hot in the auditorium that it all melted:) Nothing a hour in the freezer won't fix though! Grandma Terra bought her a pretty corsage that matched perfectly.

What a darling family!

We sure missed you Kimmi.

Thanks Jess, for letting us come and watch!

You looked absolutely beautiful.

10th Grade here we come!
