Our May Days

We've had an enjoyable weekend. I decided to document it a little. Friday was suppose to be the Father's and Son's camp out with the church, but it was canceled due to flooding at the campsite. We decided to set up the tent in our living room for the night instead. Makenzie was ecstatic to be apart of the camping experience, since she previously wasn't invited.

Saturday I pulled off a basic yard sale to clear a few things out of the way for our move in two weeks. Makenzie informed me that she should get the money that was made from any toys that were sold. Ha Ha! We shuffled Makenzie around to two birthday parties all afternoon. Sunday was a beautiful day. I haven't been to our ward for over a month due to traveling and kids being sick. Tyler was released from his calling as ward mission leader. One of the missionaries is also going to be transferred on Tuesday. We've enjoyed working close to them this past year.

The kids decided to play outside after church. I went to check on them and discovered Makenzie was drawing more than life-sized pictures of each member of our family. It was too cute to not to document it!

Here's Jordan with his replica:
Here's Makenzie with herself. Notice the drastic difference in size?! She was outside for several hours working on these masterpieces.

Here's the best I got of Gavin:He didn't want anything to do with it and was running in 1.2 seconds.

Here is Mommy and Daddy holding hands. Can you feel the love?Our beautiful artist!!

Our Memorial Day gave us 90 degree weather... a huge jump from what we are use to. I enjoyed an early morning jog. I love running on the island. It is so beautiful with all the little critters and the water close by. I saw several duck families with baby ducklings. God's creations just amaze me. It's so refreshing to start my day in solitude outside. We enjoyed a ward picnic in the afternoon although the ground was water-logged and muddy.

If we were in Utah, I could say that our summer vacation is beginning. Makenzie still has 2 more weeks of school. Ugh! Who wants to be going to school in June? Not me!
