{Great Big Giant Catch-Up}

I just realized that I blogged exactly once June and once in May.... how pathetic is that? Hopefully life has settled down a bit, and I can sort of keep up. As busy and crazy as the last few months have been, they have been good months, really good months. There have been some changes around here, and good things happening, that I hope to blog about soon. As behind as I am, I decided it was a good time for a monster catch-up post. So without further a-do.... May and June (and a bit of April) in a nutshell!

Kaleb tested to advance to a Yellow belt at Karate...... and passed!

His regular teacher Miss Camille was out of town, so Miss Monica tested him. She told me later, it was the first belt advancement she'd done. Because Brock is a belt higher than Kaleb he got to participate in the stomach punch ritual!
Carlie participated in the State Tumbling competition. She placed 4th on her floor routine.

She was pretty un-happy with her one trophy when she saw some of the other kids getting two. She didn't quite understand that they competed in two events and she only did in one!

I finally did get a little smile out of her!

Kaleb earned his Wolf badge at Cub Scouts.

My three cute baseball kiddos!

Kaleb and Carlie are both done for the year, but Brock is still playing. That I can handle, but when we had 4 practices a week and 5-6 games a week, I was a bit base balled out!

Brock- Majors

Kaleb- Minors

Carlie- T Ball

My mom, my sister-in-law Katy and I spent Mothers Day weekend in Salt Lake. We met up with some of my Aunts and Cousins to participate in the Race for a Cure. I always am so touched by the crowds of people and those they participate to support or remember. I've set a goal to RUN next year, not walk. I'm not a runner, but I really want to give it a shot and figure, I should be able to be ready in a year, right?

Kaleb participated in his Elementary School program. This years theme was "We Sing of America". It was weird only having one child participate.

Kaleb's grade danced to "Surfin' USA" and each had to design a surfboard. Kaleb wanted pink flames and luckily he has a talented dad, who sketch out a design, grabbed the paint and went to town painting!

My adorable preschool class had a little graduation program. They each had a little part, and sang a few songs. We had to move it to the church building because of the weather, but it still turned out pretty good.

Aren't they stinkin' CUTE? I really miss them since school is out!

We couldn't come up with a good weekend this summer for our family camp out, so we borrowed my sister in laws family cabin at Duck Creek and had our weekend early.... in the snow :)

The kids (and some of the adults) had fun playing Just Dance on the Wii, and those who didn't dance had fun laughing.

The boys played lots of chess and spent a bit of time outside.

Kaleb ended the school year with a bang..... he broke his arm on the 2nd to last day before summer break!

He made sure the Doctor knew that he wanted a pink cast when he came back to have it set, and pink he got! Silly boy!His pinewood derby car had to have pink on it to match his cast!

Carlie had a bast helping to decide which car won!

Kaleb's car ended up taking second overall!

There you have most of the last few months in a nutshell!
