Fast Forward






























So I was going to try to catch up for the past 7 months, but that would take WAY too long.


Here's Kenny on May 11 right before he entered the MTC for his mission to Mexico City.


He is really busy learning Spanish and everything else they are teaching him.

School is about to end for the kids at home, and that means summertime blues. We're trying to plan in some cool stuff to help the months go by. Swim lessons, football camp, acting camp, violin and guitar lessons, bike trips to get snow cones, etc. The person I worry about most is Jim. He has very little hair left to pull out.

Our spring has been fabulous. Sure we've had record rain and mountain snow and certain rivers are in danger of flooding (sorry for those people). But I must go on record as loving the cool temps and the beautiful green mountains, flowers, grass, trees, etc. It is gorgeous, and it doesn't happen unless we get lotsa rain in this here desert. And besides, pretty soon it will be 90 and extremely dry out and everything will turn brown again. So let me enjoy this little slice of heaven for five more minutes.


In April I got to visit some of my favorite people on earth. They live in rainy Portland. We played and hung out. I got to hold their precious baby boy and laugh and play with the fun big sister and big brother. And I got some new sneakers. And we went out to dinner. It was great. I love running at sea level.

Jon's been playing rugby for the past couple of months. It's fun to watch though I still don't understand all of the rules. He likes it and I think it brings out the maniac in him. (Does he need help with that?)


Happy Spring!

We're moving out to Provo! Looking forward to becoming re-acquainted with your family.

That hair comment was hilarious. I always look forward to summer, I feel like it's my time to teach my kids the things I want them to learn. Where are you doing acting classes, McKell really wants to do that and I didn't know where to look. She couldn't do HC Storm because it was way too expensive. Happy summer, if Jim needs anything have him call me. I owe him.

Jules,
Looking at UVU Noorda theater camps or possibly Hale or Scera classes.

You don't owe Jim!

Katharine, when? Did Joseph get a job here??

Love your post - so nice to catch up a little. You'll have to share what you hear from your missionary on occasion and put up some pictures of the summer activities.
Katharine and Joseph should move to Provo around the 15th of June - he will teach in a charter school in their old neighborhood. SO I guess I'll be coming to UT again when her baby comes... See you soon!
