Where has time gone?

Here is a glimpse of what we have been doing since spring break. These are in no particular order. Wow!! that is a long time ago. Beware there are many pictures.

Carter and PJ at the end of school awards ceremony, showing off their presidential award for academics.

Justin, John and Jake-officially freshman and on to high school

Ryker and his best friend (besides Kennedy) Ami as they get ready for summer.

After serving 5 years as a Bishop, Shawn performed his first wedding. Then a week later he performed another one in his office for a couple- 30 minutes before their baptism.

Although Kennedy's birthday is in April she waits until the end of May when the boys are at the Annual Father & Son outing so she can have her party with only girls.

Ryker asked to take off his training wheels and took off down the driveway.

Not bad for 4 years old.

Kennedy got tickets to see Carrie U. in concert. She performed right here in our town.

Kennedy and Mom waiting for the concert to start. Kennedy made the jewelry I am wearing.

Kennedy had her first ballet recital. She is now ready for hip-hop!

Graduation time. Brady says good luck to some great friends.

Some great XC friends. As a mother I couldn't ask for nicer young men to mentor my son. All 3 of these graduates are boys to watch out for.
Track Season ends succesfully!

Plenty of medals and no injury!

Justin celebrated his 14th birthday with a fancy crown made by Kennedy and Ryker. He also got a cell phone.

Kennedy got braces.

Carter ended his soccer season.

Kennedy and I drove about 3 hours to see WICKED. We loved it. I wish I would have taken the entire family. We will have that chance. I love having a daughter to do all these fun things with.

I took Kennedy and Ryker to the Precious Moments Museum and Ryker kept asking to leave. Later that night we were at cub scouts and I was talking to one of the leaders and her husband and I was telling them that we had just gone to the Precious Moments museum and out of nowhere Ryker yells....."And I hated it!!!" The husband -who is a bald, motorcycle riding, sun glass wearing on his head type of guy - than proceeded to give Ryker a knuckle pound and tell him, "that's how it should be." It was quite comical.

Late one Sunday right after a rainstorm there was a beautiful double rainbow. Unfortunately the second one was so light it didn't show up in this picture. It was beautiful and it gave us the opportunity to talk about the promise of the rainbow.
