May Madness Strikes Again!

Clint: Such a supportive Dad and willing worker- he makes any party great with a lil elbow grease, wit, and skill on the grill. From Father's n Sons campout, special times, bdays, graduation...he was always there for his family.

Wendy: I am proud to say that I did not die in May. Though I am pretty sure it tried to kill me.  I love to throw a good party-so that is what I did. and did. and did.

Christian: 5th Grade graduate! All A's last 3 quarters and only 1 B the whole year...we are so proud, he saved all of his money from his bday, allowance, he sold camp cards, and did chores out the wazoo- to earn enough money for an IPAD- which he got today!  Now he can continue to learn web design from his Dad and play angry birds in style :)

Alyssa: She just did her 1st big show "The Wizard of Oz"! The cutest munchkin, la le la- of the lollipop guild.  She also got straight A's and 1 B this year.  She works hard, she plays hard, and prays hard.  It is a common thing to find Alyssa saying her personal prayers.  She is so in tune with the Spirit and a peaceful influence in this home.

Tyler: This boy is 7 and partied hard for his bday- He had father's and son's campout, special time, and a stone mtn bday...whew. I get tired just thinkin of it all.  He is so loving and grew so much this year.  Tyler was the most improved student in his class and went from U's to all E's. WOW!

Reagan: She only confuses the carpet and the toilet sometimes. She wears 5 outfits a day, minimum. She scoffs at pants.  She smiles or screams-no in between. She snuggles, she swims, she kisses our noses. She fills our hearts with joy.

That is what we did in May. are you tired yet? I am. Don't worry. June is better- I am working on my tan and the kids are working on their swimming skills.  We are grateful for God and we are grateful for you...What could be finer? 

Wendy:
