Slow down, you move too fast, got to make the morning last.....

Wow!!! The month of May has been a whirlwind!! We have had so much going on! I have been soooo far behind on my blogging that this will be one long post!! I wish life would just slow down a titch!
In May we have had lots of Tee ball games, a field trip to the zoo, my sisters bridal shower, race for the cure, mother's day, dentist appointments for the boys(Gavin's first!), Jeff and my 9th anniversary(happy anniversary Jeff!), a surprise graduation party for my brother and Jeff(see I have been so busy I haven't even blogged about the most momentous day!!), volunteering at the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple, Gage's 5th birthday, Gage's birthday parties, and Gage's graduation from preschool! Now lucky for anyone reading this I didn't take pictures of everything. But none the less I have a ton of pictures to share!!

First to start with Gage's Tee ball. He finally hit the ball from coach pitch the very last game!! Way to go Gage!! Gage has improved a TON from the last time we played tee ball!! I am just happy he played!!

Here are some pics of my extended family at race for the cure. We raced in honor my Aunt Susan who recently passed away. And I also walked for my Aunt Jerry who passed away about a year ago.

Gage graduated from preschool this week. He is one smart little guy. He is reading, adding, subtracting, spelling, counting, knows his address and phone number! We are very proud of you Gage. All the kids said what they wanted to be when they grew up, watch the video to see Gage's answer.






Gage also had his 5th birthday this week!!! Happy Birthday buddy!! I can't believe he is 5!!
For his birthday we went to Boondocks and played miniature golf and rode the GoKarts. We then had cake and icecream with Grandma and Grandpa and Ashley.

Then we had two birthday parties for Gage, a friends SUPER HERO party and then a family party. This is the first friends party we have done, so I didn't really know what I was doing. We just played games, made costumes, had a pinata, dinner, and cake and ice cream. I hope the kids had fun.

For our family party we went to Oquirrh lake and had a picnic. I tried to keep it low key and Gage loves to go to the lake and ride his bike and play on the playground. Here are the many pics of our family:




We have had a funfilled month! I am so grateful Jeff is out of school, because there is no way I could have survived this month without him!! Now I need some R&R!! Can't wait to go to the lake!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!! I just wanted everyone to know what a wonderful Mom I have. She is going through a bit of a rough patch right now, so I want her to know that we are thinking of her and that we love her. She is the best mom any one could ask for, and just as importantly she is the best Grandma anyone could ask for. My kids adore her. We could only get Gavin to take his medicine this week by telling him that if he did, he could see Grandma! Worked like a charm!! My Mom is simple, she likes to be around her Grandchildren, be in the sun and have a diet coke! What else do you need? She is a great example to all of us! She cares deeply for us and others, to the point that she worries her self sick! (literally) She gives of her time in taking care of everyone else, including our kids! Life offers us many ups and downs, and my Mom has been there for me through all of mine! From the low point of having hospitalized children, to seeing my children be born, she has been there. I need her, I rely on her, I love her!! Thank you mom for being a great friend and Mom. Happy Mother's day!
