MAY

Let's start with Meg & Aus's Spring Concert at the Middle School. Unfortunately, our camera has been on the fritz lately, and we didn't get any good shots of their concert. And Austin was so far back in the band that we didn't get any of him at all. *sad*

Mother's Day was awesome.

Allen and the kids had the cutest idea! They decorated a pillow case/sham that I will treasure forever! They put their pictures on it and wrote cute notes all over it - it was the best! I loved it!

Silly Kids!

Allen was putting the car topper on the van for yet another scout campout. The kids (and friends kids - they aren't all mine!) had fun playing in it before he packed it up! Because of our camera issue - no scout pics were taken by Allen, again, sad.

Grandparents Day at King Street. Since our Grandparents live so far away - Cam and Spenc had to compromise. Meg didn't have school that day, so Meg & I were Grandpa/Grandma. It was nice not to have to juggle multiple classes this year. Cam had fun making a cute craft and Spenc drew that cool picture with pastels. Cameron and his friend posed for a fun picture. Awesome.

We said good-bye to one of our favorite missionaries - Elder Iro. The kids were so sad to see him go. The boys did the "Hakka" for days!

Youth Conference is done on the Stake Level every year so it is always 14 and older. Austin was lucky enough to be able to go this year. He had SUCH a great time. Their theme was "Hold To The Rod" - they were split into "families" for the duration of the time and did a bunch of activities and projects that focused on that theme. Austin's most memorable was when they were all blindfolded, and re-enacted Lehi's dream. They held onto a rope and were "tempted" by different things and people that tried to get them to let go of the rod. It was a really neat experience for him. So, thanks to ALL the leaders who helped make it such a fabulous youth conference! But next time, could you leave the 2 ticks you got there!

The other part of May was Austin & Megans marching in the Memorial Day Parade in Port Chester. But, like we said, our camera is on the fritz and none of the pictures we took turned out. Such a bummer. I guess I know what I want for my birthday! :)

May was great! Full of lots'o'stuff - as always!! :)
