Summer is here

We enjoyed quite a few nice days of weather before the rain set in that is currently helping out a garden.

Memorial Day was a lot of fun with roasting smores with cousins and camping in our backyard. On Sunday we visited Chad's grandparent's grave in Provo and then stayed down there for Memorial day with Chad's brother and his family to go fishing and play in the water the next day.

Grave of Eugene and Rita Roth

The catch of the day - catfish.

Daddy was nice enough to do some face painting. Here's Kayden's pick:

Here's Boston's pick for Daddy to paint on him:


McCoy and his cousin Mikelle splashed the day away.



We've also played in the yard a ton, had picnics in the park, fished in the ponds with no luck, played and visited with friends and also one day we met up with my sister and her kids at the zoo for an afternoon.


Brothers! You can feel the love!



This past week was Kayden's last day of kindergarten. We celebrated by having his best guy friends over from school for a little water party. The rain only came for about 5 minutes and then it was nice. Saturday we celebrated Chad's birthday with a fun yard party with family and friends. Lots of food, good conversations and once again the rain only visited us for about 5 minutes, but we weremostly sheltered under the deck eating dinner.


Here's a picture from the beginning of Kayden's cute program. I've been trying to dig some up of Boston's program, but we just took video. They both had great school years and were both very ready for summer break.

How wonderful! I noticed that McCoy really looks like you in some of those pictures. Amazing how fast they grow up huh? And I loved the face painting, my Zoe would have been right there with your son wanting the dinosaur on her face. :)
