Updates from the White House






















May was a very busy month for us.

Durham had his 1st Communion on May 2nd. This was 27 years to the day Kevin had his! My mom came out to help celebrate and we had a really good time.

Mother's Day was really nice-the boys made me some really sweet cards and they were very nice to each other all day. I try to remember how sweet they can be, especially on the days that they aren't!

May 14th was Luke's 6th birthday. We had his party on Saturday with his friends from school. We moved the party indoors, but still had a great time. About a half hour before the party the skies opened up and it poured. I was so happy we weren't outside at the park! He had a Star Wars party and received lots of Legos. He was happy, but his brothers, not so much! One of the kids at the party gave us the gift that keeps on giving-a stomach virus!

Luke lost his first tooth a couple of weeks ago. We were at the Dell Diamond for a Round Rock Express baseball game and it was so wiggly it came right out! He was very excited! It's neat to look back at the pictures we took that night. Early in the game he has all his teeth, by the end he's sporting a gap-toothed smile!

School and sports are winding down. Durham still has some soccer games left; Luke's t-ball season is over. Luke ended the season with 5 game MVP balls, mostly for making plays as catcher. This is Durham's first season playing soccer and he really enjoys it. He has so much energy and endurance he makes running the field look easy!
I think I'm as ready as the kids for summer break to arrive. We have some activities scheduled already, but not nearly at the pace we have been keeping up with.

Baseball and Mother's Day

Gary and Scott relaxing in the shade. Where are me and Sharlene you ask? Getting lunch ready of course. Aren't we the greatest wives and mother's ever? Next time, we are sitting in the chairs and those two are cooking!



We drove up to Clay Springs on Sunday and had dinner and rode the Rhino's. We took pictures of the girl cousins! Lacee was all too happy to pose for pictures.


We finally got to go watch not one but two baseball games in nice warm weather! We drove to Beaver on Saturday and watched Kaden play ball and he is in a much better mood, even though they lost both games. Now they know what they need to work on. He played really well, got a hit every time he was up to bat, except for one walk. He pitched in the second game and did awesome. This weekend, we get to go to sunny St. George for 3 games. Yeah for warm weather :)

Crab Leg Fries

So today, I had to run over to Fillmore to our shop and get some parts for Scott and while I was waiting for them, we ran down to Arby's to get lunch. Apparently, Lacee has never seen curly fries before because when she got her kids meal with curly fries, she picked one up and said, "Why did you get me crab legs?" I was laughing so hard that I had tears running down my face! So from now on, curly fries are now known as "crab leg fries."
