Park & Slip & Slide

I just noticed the music on my blog. I don't know how it got on there, probably from 1 of the slideshows. Just mute it like I did.

Hope these posts keep you happy for a while. It takes a very long time to upload the pics. If I would upload more often it probably wouldn't take so long in one night. I will post pics of the recital this week (I promise ;)

more random pics

other things that have happened this month...

Bowling

The last night we decided we really needed to let all these kids get some energy out before we blew up. So off to the bowling alley we went.

Air Force museum

one of the days we decided we should try the Air Force museum. We got everyone ready in sweatshirts and headed out the door about 3:30. It took about 20 min. to get there and then we saw "the sign"...
This Museum closes PROMPTLY at 4:30 if your vehicle is still here it will be towed.
Uh, how do we explain this to the kids. We hurried through the airplanes outside and called it good. Only the older ones knew that we didn't get to go inside.
The next day Jeremy and Andy did take the boys to see the inside and they had a great time.

June is flying by with lots of fun things...

The month started off RAINING, just about every day. Well just when we thought it was goin to start acting like summer, our BEST friends drove half way across the country to come see beautiful Utah. The 1st day they got here was great outside. The kids loved seeing each other again (it has been a year) and played outside on the playset. The second day it was a little cloudy so we decided to goto the children's museum. After that we headed to the park for lunch. Still nice outside. The the 3rd day hit and we spend the rest of their vacation inside. Winter had come back to visit us AGAIN. We still had a fantastic time and were very sad to see them go back to Missouri.
and by the way the next week was perfect golfing weather.

Garcia Graduate of 2010

Tayler graduated from Angie's Kinder Academy on May 26. He, of course, was the most handsome graduate there. He did graduate with highest honors.

Buffalo Point 1 mile/5K race

Gabbi & Jered's school hosted a 1 mile and 5K race. So of course our athletic family (HAHA) had to join in the fun. Gabbi and Tayler ran the 1 mile and did an OUTSTANDING job. Jered had a bad cough and so he wasn't able to run. He did cross the finish line though. I was honored to have run the 5K with my dad. This is his 2nd 5K and I tell you he is doing awesome. He was only a couple of minutes behind me. It was freezing (of course, it is May in Utah) but we had our own little cheering section for us as we crossed the finish line.

the aquarium

Some of Jeremy's family came up to SLC so we met them at the aquarium then In-N-Out for lunch. We had a great time especially the eatting part

Baseball season is in full swing

these are of Tayler. Notice the ball still on the tee after he swung. I LOVE watching tball. Tayler gets to play on the same team as my nephew, Spencer (Erik's son).
Gabbi & Jered also play on the same team. Lucky for me this year isn't too rough. They only have a few games that conflict with each other. Thank goodness we live by family, now, that is willing to help out. (Thanks)

school programs

Gabbi was able to sing with her class for the Buffalo Point Hoedown. She did an awesome job. I was so proud of her. She sang every word of every song with exuberance. The entire 2nd grade has been practicing all year long for this performance. Gabbi only started school at this school in April. I dare say she knew the songs better than some of her classmates.
Jered's 1st grade class did an art show. Because he was only there for a little bit he had only 2 works of art. But those were 2 of the BEST works of art I saw. He was so excited to show me what he had done but was equally excited to dress up for school.
WE ARE VERY PROUD OF OUR 2 OUTSTANDING STUDENTS!

On the move (again)

We are moving!!! Not our blog this time but our family. We found a house to rent in Syracuse that will be perfect for our family. The kids are excited to move. In fact Gabbi asked tonight, when we told them, if we were gonna start packing today.
We plan on moving around the 19th of this month, so keep the date open.

We are so thankful to Jeremy's uncle and aunt who have let us stay in their house (the one they are going to sell). They have been a real blessing for our family.

We also want to thank all those WONDERFUL people who have helped us out. We have relied alot on your strength and support. THANK YOU!
(you too! Calvin, Lucas Nate & Kerrie for removing the rest of our NP STUFF)

I will post the address soon, so you can be there to help us unload 7 peoples worth of junk (I mean stuff)

Harper and I with my friend and her baby from Nebraska. Her family was driving back to NE from Idaho and stopped at Wendy's to have lunch with us. Her baby, Arrizona, and Harper are only 10 days apart. We are so sad we don't live by them so they could be best friends.
Christmas afternoon with the (local) family at Grandma and Grandpas (we missed you Kinghorns)

OK there you have it. Hope this satisfies you for a little while, because we all know how GREAT of a blogger I am.
ENJOY and hope to see you all soon
