A group hug from all the kids after opening all of Nathan's birthday presents.

(Sorry for the sideways pictures but I couldn't get them to rotate in our files. You get the point though.) Nathan showing us that he is 11. Notice the big toe to make it 11.

This is Nathan telling us he's turning 21! We told him that was fine, but he'd have to pay us rent, get a job, and pay his own bills. He quickly decided 11 was just fine!

Holding up his bakugan!

Jocelyn cheering for the March birthdays in her song!

This song was a "Class Rules" song and the kids got to wear their sunglasses for it. All the songs were sung in Spanish and the skits were performed in English.

A little blurry, but this is Jocelyn doing her speaking part. She was adding a banana to the soup. Yuck!!!

I informed Craig this year that I would take care of my own Mother's Day present. This is what I got...a beautiful picture of the Idaho Falls Temple. That is where Craig and I were married and sealed 12 years ago! It adds a nice spirit to our home.

Nathan needed to learn how to start a fire for scouts, so we took a Friday night to cook hotdogs and smores in our backyard. Hopefully we'll do it more. We had a blast!

I had to take this picture by lantern light because we were struggling with getting the fire started. But as you saw in the previous picture...we were finally successful. "Survivor" here we come!

Jocelyn doing a handstand during their tumbling.

We're still not sure how she can bend that way!

Nathan finished up Cub Scouts this month and will be starting 11 year old Scouts. Before leaving Cubs he received his Arrow of Light Award. We're so proud of him!

Season Finales

May has been a crazy, busy, fun month for us. We've finished up soccer, dance and piano. We've celebrated Mother's day and Nathan's birthday. We've been at baseball fields 5 nights of the week. Plus, we've enjoyed a Memorial Day trip to Wyoming to visit Craig's parents and extended family; and I had an awesome hike up Adam's Canyon with my 9 year old scout group. Oh, and school ends in a week! Yipee!!! Anyone else tired yet?!!
