We are kind of sad leaving our neighborhood, the kids have so many friends on our street. Every day they play forever. Today our neighbor Zoey wanted to give everyone facials, so Carsyn and I let her give us one. It was pretty funny.

Neighbors
Memorial Day
Monday was Memorial day, and on Memorial day we always get together with my mom's side of the family. Sunday we go and put flowers on the graves of family members that have died. This year was kind of cool, because people from the news paper were there and they took pictures of us and interviewed us. My sister and Blake were on the front page and then there was an article about our family tradition, that has been going on for 40 years.
Then on Monday we went to my Aunt Sharon's house for food and a get together. It is always fun to see every one and this year my whole family showed up! So we quickly took a picture, since it is so hard to get everyone together at once. Afterwards we went to see Speed Racer. I do not recommend it, although the kids seemed to enjoy it.
Last Week of School
This week has been bitter sweet. I am excited to not have to get the kids ready so early in the morning, but I am not excited for the boredom to set in. Well we had an eventful last week of school, Caden had a class McDonalds party, and a track meet. Carsyn had her beach day, Picnic at the park day, and finally today she had a singing program that the kindergartners did. I don't know how anyone with more than 2 kids can handle the last week of school, it's crazy!

Family look a likes
I copied Becky R. and did this look a like thing. I think they all turned out right, except for the one with Caden, no one has ever said I look like Caden, they always say he is the spitting image of his dad.

Happy Birthday, Becky!
May 25, is my sister Becky's 34th birthday! It has been so much fun having Becky live near. I'm so glad they moved here. Especially because our kids are all great friends. It is also nice to have a trade off babysitter. And our occasional girls night outs have been fun too. I hope you have a great birthday Becky. Happy Birthday!

Happy 6th Birthday, Carsyn
Carsyn turned 6 this week and is excited to not be 5 any more! She is growing up so fast, I can't believe she will be in 1st grade this year. She lost her first tooth last week, and she learned how to tie her shoe last month. I told her to stop getting older because I don't want to have teenagers. She is 6 going on 16, she wants to do everything like her older girl cousins. Well for now she is still my little girl and we love her. Happy Birthday Carsyn!!

Bass Lake 2008
We had so much fun on our little vacation. The kids had fun hanging out with cousins and being able to roam around the camp. By night time, once they put their heads on their pillows, they were out! We were bummed that our boat wasn't fixed in time to take with us, but we still found a lot of fun things to do. Every day around 3:00 the misquitos came out and boy did they come out!!! Everyone has at least 7 bites except for the kids, none of the kids got bit, I think it's because they didn't sit still at all. We love Bass Lake, it is so beautiful, but I sure am glad to be home without all the bugs!!

Fighting Kids
I don't know what it is but my kids fight more than any kids I know. I am so tired of it!! Does any one have the same problem, probably not. If it's not Caden and Carsyn, it's Caden and Nixon, or it's Carsyn and Nixon. Wow, it drives me crazy, it would be so nice if they weren't so competitive! Someone has to be first or someone didn't get as much as the other. I just hope it gets better as they get older, but for some reason I don't think that will be the case!

Happy Mother's Day!
I want to wish my mom, my grandma and my mother in law Penny, a Happy Mother's day! I'm thankful for all that you do and for the great examples you are to me and my family. It takes a lot to be the mothers of so many children, I am amazed at how you have done it over the years, and you are still, going strong! Thanks a million and Happy Mother's Day!!!

Our Big Weekend
We had an eventful weekend. Saturday started out with a yard sale at my mom's house, early morning. My sister left to put signs out around the neighborhood and she wasn't gone for more than 3 minutes and people started showing up, I've never been a person to shop at a yard sale, but there are millions of people that do it. I don't like the thought of buying someone else's junk, but my sister made around $70.oo in a couple of hours, pretty cool. After the yard sale I was off to buy tickets for Carsyn's dance recital. I thought I would be able to just go down and buy them, when I got there the line to buy tickets, wrapped all the way around the Fox Theater. There were people with lawn chairs, that had been there for a long time, crazy! Then Caden had his baseball game that was almost 2 hours long! They seem to get longer and longer every game. Then it was off to get ready for Caden's baptism. I think there were around 10 kids that were getting baptized on the same day, it was nice but it seemed to last forever! We ate at La Tapatia afterwards, that place is great, the owners couldn't thank us enough for bringing so much business to them. Sunday we were up early getting ready for church and for Caden's Confirmation. I was so excited because Josh showed up with his girlfriend Maryanna and her kids. Shelby and the boys came too! I'm thankful that everyone supported Caden, I love my family! Afterwards we had a little get together at my house, it was so fun, but I am so glad I can relax now!!
