May Days

I wish we could take credit for the beautiful tile job. Alas all the credit goes out to our brother-in-law Darren who spent 10 nights of his life at our house laying tile and listening to us negotiate with our children.

We love Darren.

We're currently trying to get all of the trim done so new, fresh smelling carpet can find a permanent residence at our home.
Our newest ballplayer is too cute for words.
He's got the look, now we're shooting for the ability.
Mark participated in the "Cubanopolis" for Cub Scouts. James helped him build Bumble Bee for his car. He's not the only 8 year old who looked ridiculous. We were relieved.
Mark was baptized by James and confirmed by his Grandpa Jim. It was a good day and we loved hearing Grandpa Jim confirm him. It was a wonderful blessing and I feel blessed Mark was able to have him do it.
The 4th grade did a Utah History program, costumes and all. Olivia was of course the cutest and the portrayal of Brigham Young will go down in history as one of my favorite elementary school moments. Hypothetically speaking, if BY was anything like what the child actor was acting like, no wonder outsiders thought we were kooks.
Baby boy loves his Buster Dog. It makes my heart melt.
Russell Crowe+Robin Hood=More please

Everytime I get on your blog I find myself laughing out loud! Mark is so funny all decked out in his bumble bee car! They have those kids doing the craziest, non-sensical things sometimes! Indeed, Olivia must have been the CUTEST pioneer, past and present. Your tile looks awesome and tell Tessie that Aunt Whitty likes cats :)
