May - If April Showers bring May Flowers, what do May showers bring?

Okay - it has been the wettest May and Spring in Utah's recorded history. So, that makes for some cold soccer games and cancelled practices. However, we have managed to have a good month, anyway.

Kate had her first dance recital! She was so beautiful. She knew her dance really well, and was adorable doing the moves. We love this cute little girl. She was so excited for her recital. We had a recital countdown for the last 6 weeks. What a fun day.

This month was also Kate's preschool graduation. She did her parts so well, and it was fun to see her excited to be old enough for Kindergarted now. I am just not sure that I am ready. I can't believe that our little girl is getting so old.

We went to Arches for our annual Memorial Day camping trip. We went a few days early, and we managed to get pretty good weather there. We hiked to so many arches. But, I still get tickled to see us posing at the Delicate Arch. It is so famous, but there we are! Our favorite hike was to the Tower Arch. It was a little used trail at the end of a dirt road. But the arch was amazing, and so was having the whole thing to ourselves. We really had a blast. The kids are good hikers, and we managed to finally wear Carson out! The kids loved scrambling over the red "slick" rock around our campsite as well. We would hike all day, and then they would keep on hiking back at the tent. We camped across from the famous slick rock trail. What a cool world it is down there. Graham was a trooper. He managed to survive the sandy world, and he actually slept okay at night.


Can you believe Graham is walking!!! This is the day we got home from camping. Oh, boy! He is trying to walk more and more. Watch out world!

On Memorial Day, we visited the peace gardens in SLC. It was a pretty interesting garden. Chad found it on a bike ride, and we finally took the time to explore it. We all loved going to the different gardens and figuring out what country it represented. Here are the kids in front of the Chinese Garden.


Hopefully May showers bring exciting June fun.
