May

With Savannah's troop's cookie money this year they got to make a cd together. They sang at a real recording studio and made a cd of High School Musical songs. They felt like rockstars and I loved watching her do something I have always wanted to do. I can tell that Savannah is always going to love to sing she already has what it takes.

This is our favorite family outing together. The girls and I did it first on our own one day when Nate and Jacob were busy. We ride our bikes to the "Rocket Park" where there is little water park, rock climbing and the swing monkey bar. We let them play and on our way back home we stop at Jack in the Box that just opened down our street and have dinner.

This is quite the adventure getting all the stuff , kids and even dog to the park.

I took Hannah, Nate and Paige to Kaylie and Savannah's class parties on their last day of school. They were completely full of treats and the girls loved sharing their brother and sisters with everyone. I can't believe summer is already here!

The girls got to deliver their blankets they made for the new NICU center at San Jauquin Hospital. They even held up one of the babies for them to see. Three news stations came to document it and Kaylie got interviewed. Girl Scouts has given the girls so many good experiences and they had fun but we are done with it now that all three girls are now in Activity Days. I am not going to miss being a leader but miss the time we shared together though. I am sure we can still earn things on our own.

I took sicky Paige to Savannah's last awards assembly. I was lucky Paige did not throw up all over like she had been. Savannah earned 150 point club in AR points, Honor roll, and a letter for her sports and trying out for Treasurer.

We got to take care of a kitten about 10 days old for two weeks. The mother died and we fed it with a little bottle. It was either being fed or held the whole time unless they let it get some sleep. They all love the kitty and now they can visit it at grandmas house.

For Memorial Day we all went to Great Grandpa Richards house and we filled up the pool just like we used to. We even got out the fun island and that was a little crazy but lots of fun. Great Grandpa was still in the pool with the kids in his 90's giving them rides in their tubes just like he used to do for all of us. We love him so much and have so many good memories with him and much more to come.

This is Kaylie's performance and the first time I was able to get a picture of my child on the stage! She is the one with her arms up she is a little ahead of everyone else but it was so cute to see and she loved being on stage.

Back in Grandma Bulkeley's pool again. The pool is finally warm enough for the kids but not quite for me or Paige. They swim as long as we let them and constantly ask to go back. I am so glad we get to visit mom and the kids get to play.
