Kate is Great!!!

I can't believe how much Kate has grown up this past year! She grew to love pre-school and soccer and is SO excited for kindergarten to start in August(she's especially excited to ride the bus with Sophie). Her graduation was on June 12th---the day before her favorite teacher, Ms. Jenny had emergency surgery. She will definitely miss seeing her friends and Ms. Jenny every week....on to the next chapter....kindergarten!

Lake Powell 2008 with Angie's Family

Lake Powell was great this year, other than the fact that Dave and Em couldn't come (they were moving into their new home). We usually go in August, but this year we went the beginning of June so Uncle Benj could come. We are used to 70-80 degree water.......this year it was a mere 65 degrees......brrrrrrr.

Memorial Day with the Terry's

I feel so blessed to have married into such an incredible family! Matt's family is so great, and it is so much fun when all of the little cousins get together.
We spent the Sunday before Memorial Day weekend at Matt's Mom's house for a BBQ and birthday celebration (Caroline and Evan's first birthdays)! It has become a tradition to hike up the Alpine cemetery to Grandpa Mike's grave. It is sad to think that I never had the chance to meet Grandpa Mike....but I know that he was a wonderful man. He helped raise seven amazing children who all married equally amazing spouses and have so far created a total of 23 grandchildren (3 on the way)!
I can't wait to meet him someday.

We missed you Nat and Jim

St. George with Grandma and Grandpa

Matt was traveling a lot with work during May, so my parents offered to take me and the kids to St. George for a few days. I have to admit, I was a little nervous to go without Matt...but we ended up having such a great time with Grandma and Grandpa. It was fun to see Kate and Sam swim with Grandpa Ken, and I definitely loved talking with my mom at the pool. Luke was such a good boy ! He hardly made a peep the whole time we were there. I swear he loves to be by a pool....just like his mommy.

St. George with the girls!

FINALLY!!!!

Okay.....

So I haven't been the best at updating the blog. I feel like I haven't had a minute to even sit down and work on it. There are many things which have happened since the last update-----trips, Memorial Day, more trips, pre-school graduation, and soccer! I will do my best at updating on everything---I have to warn you though.....it is quite a lot!!!

St George with the girls

The end of May I went on a girl trip with Beth and Meg! What a fun weekend it was....shopping, Satin Hands, a movie, and lots of eating out. We happened to go to sunny St. George on a weekend that it wasn't so sunny. It was actually cooler in St. George than in Salt Lake---strange! Since we couldn't lay out at the pool.....we had to shop!
