May

We had an eventful May, which is probably why it went by so quickly. School is now over and it's time for summer to begin. Here are a few things that we did this past month. (I'm going to attempt to add some videos...I hope it works!) Also, this is quite long, so SORRY!

Mother's Day
I had a great day. Here's a picture of all my kids. The babies look really big in this picture. They are growing up way too fast.
It was a nice day...Richard had to speak in church and did a wonderful job. I got a couple of games and nice Spa/Lunch day with my mom and sisters the day before.

Here's a picture of Hannah and Jacob playing Ladderball...one of the games I got from Hannah! It is quite fun.

Hannah's Gymnastics Meet

Hannah had a gymnastics meet. Each girl rotated to all four events---beam, vault, bars, and floor. She did a great job. Here's a picture of her on the bars and I also tried putting a video of her on the bars as well. I think that it is her best event!

Jacob's Preschool Graduation

The next day, Jacob graduated from preschool. Here he is in his cap and gown. They had quite a program.

For the progam, each student read a book and sang a solo. Jacob's book was Happy Birthday Clifford, and he sang Penelope Pig. Here's the video of it!


Later that evening, Hannah had her 2nd grade Patriotic Program. She did a great job. Here's a picture of her as a firefighter in the song, Forty Hours a Week. She said it was awfully heavy!!

Memorial Day (Weekend)

On Saturday, we headed up to Bountiful for a great lunch at El Matador and a visit to Grandma and Grandpa Martineau's graves.

Here's a picture of Alex at the Bountiful Cemetary. He looks so cute with all that hair waving in the breeze!

On Sunday, we headed down to Pleasant Grove to visit Great Grandma and Grandpa Thayne's graves.


We couldn't resist taking a picture in front of Grandma and Grandpa Thayne's new headstone. It was kind of hard to explain since the kids thought they were in England on a mission! HEHEHE!!! Someone even left some artificial flowers on top. They must have felt bad that nothing else was there.

On Monday, we went over to Grandpa Cory's and Grandma Lillie's for a BBQ. The weather was not too good, but we barbequed anyways!



Last, but certainly not least, I must have some fun baby pictures. Here's Alex. He and Logan LOVE the pan cupboard. We found him sitting in this small round one the other day.


And finally, one more video...Logan and Alex having fun together. (Please disregard my voice!!)

very cute! You did have a busy month. My favorite months are May and June, but it seems I never get to enjoy them, because I am running around doing a billion things. This year is no exception. May flew by and I can't believe it's June. Hope you enjoy your summer. We still have 2more weeks of school.

What a fun posting! I am so jealous you guys are out of school already. We are still counting down the days. Hannah and Jacob both did a great job on their videos and Alex and Logan are adorable.

Hey, we are so proud of the kids. We loved Jake's song and graduation. Hannah is growing so fast and looks great on the beam.
We are coming in July - Are you up for a visit?
