Summer has arrived!  Now I finally have a minute to get caught up on my blog.  This will be a quick (or not so quick) recap of the last month or so.  It has been crazy busy but lots of fun.

END OF APRIL
Tanner got to play with his High School Soccer team in the Salt Lake Real Soccer Stadium.  They didn't win but Tanner said it was really fun.

MAY 17 

Adam and I went to the Scout Expo for a few hours and he had a great time!!  He especially liked the rock climbing and the obstacle courses.  The line was too long for the zipline...we'll have to do that next year.

 He is the Number 18 Kid

That evening, Rebecca had an end-of-the-season soccer party with her team.

MAY 21

We went with Tanner to an Awards Banquet at his school where he received several awards.  I won't list them all lest I appear to be bragging.  :-)

MAY 26 - MEMORIAL DAY

My flowers were blooming in my yard.  There were tons of flowers at the cemetery as well.  We visited Grandma Dodge's grave and spent a little time exploring the cemetery.  In the evening we had a bunch of friends and neighbors over for a pot luck BBQ.  

MAY 27
Adam played one of the 3 pigs in his 3rd grade play at school.  He was one of a few kids who actually had a speaking part and he did a great job.

We also went to an awards banquet with Tanner for his HS Soccer Team.  

MAY 28

Rebecca had a band concert at school.  She played the Bass Drum in one number, the triangle in another one, and the tambourine in the last song.  They did a good job but the picture didn't turn out so good, therefore it will not be included.  :-)

MAY 29

My mom turned 85 so we had a birthday celebration at my house with my brothers and their families.  We had cake and ice cream.... and yes, it was chocolate!   :-)

MAY 30

Tanner, Adam and David went on the Fathers & Sons Campout with the ward.   They had a great time as usual and Tanner was a good sport to go.  Adam was so happy to find out that Tanner was going to go.  (I wouldn't really call it camping though since they stay in these really nice cabins.)

MAY 31

A new addition to the back yard play area.... BADMINTON.  In the picture below, they are actually playing some sort of volleyball with a soccer ball but they mostly play badminton and everyone seems to be quite good at it.  The worst players are mom and dad which seems to delight the kids.  :-)

Well, that about wraps up May.  Stay tuned for some pictures from the first week in June including Tanner's graduation.
