Ping Pong Dad (May 29th)

Dad is quite the Ping Pong Champion.

Joyanne's friend, Quinn, has beat everyone at school and even won in tournaments.

But, Quinn played Dad and could only beat him 2 out of 7 games.

Grant loves to play outside, but maybe the train track is not the best place to be! ;)

Mesa Falls (May 27th)

We headed up to Mesa Falls and stopped at Warm River to feed the HUGE fish there.

You can't go fishing there, but you can feed the fish.

Hence, the big fish.

Then we went up to Mesa Falls and enjoyed a short hike.

Memorial Day (May 26th)

Visiting graves was the highlight of our day.

We stopped by many relatives and left flowers.

Seeing Grandma Cheryl's grave brought a lot of tears and many memories.

We sure miss Grandma a lot, especially Grandpa.

Fishing with Grandpa (May 25th)

Fishing with Grandpa always proves successful.

We usually catch at least one fish, if not, a lot more.

What a Jolly man!

Concert Time (May 14th, 16th and 21st)

Towards the end of the school year we always end up with lots of concerts.

The first concert we attended was Noah's band concert.

He ended up with about a 15 measure solo or more.

He did great and was awesome to listen to.

Their music is always loud and excited with lots of great beats that keeps the crowd interested.

Joyanne had her choir concert.

Their choir performs extremely well, always singing engaging music that makes the audience smile, laugh, and sometimes cry happy tears.

Hiram played in percussion ensemble and sounded so good.

He helped everyone else keep the beat and Hiram kept in time so well.

It was nice to see all the instruments come together.

Our kids are so talented using their skills to bring happiness to others.

Mother's Day (May 12th)

Grant was so excited to give me the Mother's Day gifts he gave me.

I received a self-portrait of Grant and a figurine.

Such a sweet boy who shows me his love so much.

Dad is always so amazing with spoiling me with cooking our family dinner and doing the dishes.

I love being a mother to these 6 amazing kids!

Motherhood is the best!!!
