May!!!

Ilene had a "workdate" with Dad-this consists of spending part of the day at his office.  The FFA show was going on across the street so after getting some lunch they stopped here.  She loved seeing the animals!

I was helping a friend buy decorations for her wedding and Ilene wanted to come with me.  Ryan went fishing and took Alli and Cam to the lake with him.

Just some random pictures-I loved Alli's get up.

Contrary to his facial expression Cam always wants to help when I am cooking!

We love eating out on the deck during the summer.

Ryan's view during one of his trips.

We have a little fishing spot we like close to our house.  We typically make a mini pond to keep our catches in until we leave and then we set them free.  The kids love seeing them.  Alli was putting a recent catch into the pond.

Just my handsome lil man!!

The girls were definitely bug catchers all last spring and summer.  They caught many roly-poly bugs along with ladybugs!

Alli had a Mom and Me picnic.  It was a lot of fun hanging out with my big girl!!

She picked this giant Texas donut for her dessert ;).  She ended up saving most of it.

Many mommy manicures happened.  Love my girls who like to play with my hair, give back rubs, and do my nails.

We had a ward party that was cowboy themed. Note-this was at the end of one of daddy's trips and it was quite the "party". Our ward had all these different stations and that combined with getting food for 3 kids by myself turned out to be quite the "awesome" night...

But the picture station was definitely the favorite for my kids!

Ryan went to the store one Saturday for something and these girls wanted to go-even all dressed up as witches.

There were many lovely letters written on this whiteboard.

Loved the outfits this cutie picked for herself!

We went to a friend's birthday party-Natalia's-and there were numerous pinatas!

We visited Grandpa Doug in the rehab center.

The girls made this cute lil robot out of a box we had sitting around.  Love their creativity!

We cheered for daddy at his softball games

Alli had her kindergarten field trip.  Such a cute group of kids we were in charge of.

These magformers are played with so often! I love the buildings they make daily.

Another visit to Grandpa Doug

This girl loves her some ribs!!! A new favorite food!

Scott was here at the beginning of the summer and Alli had her kindergarten graduation the  day they got here so she was so happy to have him come!

Alli with some cute friends who all showed up matching :) and thought that definitely needed a pic.

They added some more friends to have all the girls in their class...

Which led to needing a pic of the boys who were there.

After that we headed to the park.

Ryan competed in a handstand contest with our studly 8 year old friend who is a really impressive gymnast at his brother's b-day party.

We went to Chandie's grave and took flowers on Memorial Day.

Headed for another fishing trip.

Outside Thanksgiving Point.

This was another fun area!

Headed up the canyon.

Ryan had a work retreat by Park City.  He brought his fishing stuff and during some spare time we made a trip to the river.

Later that weekend we were lucky enough to go to a rodeo with a fun group of family!!
