The Rest of May 2014

Josh has the worst luck on birthdays.  One year he had a swollen eye from a bee sting, and this year he had a hurt knee!  We ended up celebrating his birthday after we got back from Lake Powell.

Raspberry swirl cheesecake birthday cake.

Parker had a store at school where he was supposed to bring things to sell.

I helped him make pinwheels and tissue paper flowers.  For some reason that

day he was supposed to dress like an animal, so he chose a dog.

Baby growing bigger!  I was about 20 weeks here I think.

Crazy hair day for Parker.

Our irises finally bloomed this year!  So pretty.

For Memorial Day we went down to the cemetery to see the

little program they put on down there.

Later, we drove up to Orem's cemetery to see Josh's Grandma's grave.

Josh and Quinn planting some seeds.  Quinn is our little gardening boy.

He just loves it.

School's out for the summer!  Yay!!

Lake Powell Trip - May 2014

In May, my parents planned a trip to Lake Powell and invited us and all of my siblings.  It ended up being on the weekend of Josh's birthday, but he had been wanting to go to Lake Powell, so he was okay with that. :)  All of my siblings and their families were able to come too, so it ended up being a little family reunion, which was nice.

We got there super late the first night since we had to leave after kids got out of school.  We set up our tent in the dark and pretty much went to bed.  The next morning Isaac and Parker went out on the boats with Grandma and Granpa, so Josh and I took Bryce and Quinn on a little walk around the area we were camping.  The water was very low at the Lake.

There were lots of shells to be found!

These little bugs were so cool:

Later, we packed a lunch and all got in the boats.

We went to a different area where we could play in the water and the guys could go out and

water ski.  All the cousins had lots of fun playing!  Josh, Jesse, Dason, and Tim went water skiing and had fun until Josh ended up injuring his bad knee. :(  Not a fun thing to have happen when you are out

camping! He ended up hobbling around all weekend.

We came back to camp and made dinner and later the kids roasted marshmallows,

or as Quinn said, "fired" marshmallows. :)

Beginning of May 2014

Bryce's class got to participate in a special olympics/field day.

We took a drive over to Payson to see the progress on the new temple.

Bryce and Parker had a Pinewood Derby for cub scouts.

And Parker's.  I guess they strapped the batteries on for added weight.

Isaac and Quinn ready to go watch the derby

They always have the cutest pack nights.  This time they dressed

in disguises.  Moustaches, sunglasses and hats.  So cute!

It was almost Josh's birthday, but we were going on a trip, so 

we had him open up one birthday present before we went 

( new swim shorts and sandals that he would need).

And a pretty sunset
