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.

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!

Lela's Bridal Shower

First of all... Lela cannot be old enough to be getting married.  When did she grow up?  In my eyes, she should still be that little girl I met 17 years ago.  Where has the time gone?

Back in May, the girls in our family got to together to throw a bridal shower for her.  Since she nor her fiance Moises have a big family, we decided to join the two fams and throw one.  I am so thankful for my mom, my mother in law and my sister in laws for all of their help.  They made the shower a success!

Carter's Baptism

The first Saturday in May was a very special day for our family.  Carter chose to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!  This kid was so excited for this day.  He had watched his two older brothers and several of his cousins be baptized and was counting down the days.

Carter chose his dad to baptize him.  

He looks up to his daddy so much! 

Aunt Wendy made this awesome Baptism towel for Carter.  Along with this little poem about the towel.  She is so talented!  I love that he has something that he can keep and use daily to remind him of this special day.

Carter and Bishop Murray

We love Bishop Murray!!  Seriously the greatest Bishop out there!  He had the sweetest things to say about Carter and great advice for the rest of us.  Such a HERO in my boys eyes.

Carter was lucky enough to have his own baptism!  It was really surprising considering all of the kids in our ward turning eight this year.  Being the only kid being baptized that day meant we had to do the whole program.  My family was so sweet to step up and help us out.  He asked my dad and my grandpa to be the two witnesses.

Of course afterwards we had to have a big luncheon to celebrate!!!  What can I say, my family loves food:)  I am so thankful for all of our family and friends who came to make this day special for Carter!  He is one in a million and we love him to pieces!
