For the end of the year recital the kids play on the stage at the college on a baby grand piano. It is so fun for them and for us to watch. Kaitlyn played "The Star Spangled Banner"
This is Jacob's first time on stage playing the "real" piano. He played "King of the Jungle" and did a great job.
This is a random pic that got out of order...We visited Brauk's class for a night of learning about the rainforest. This is some of the family with our poisonous tree frog hats we made. Good times!
Back to the recital...Conner played "Piano Man" by Billy Joel and he did an awesome job!
Jake took this pic of Hailey doing her cross eyes...it's a family favorite!
Happy 10th Birthday Kaitlyn. You are a beautiful young lady!
Kaitlyn had a swim party for her Birthday. She had a great time.
This is what summer looks like for us here in AZ...Swim, Swim, and Swim some more!
Conner's big day! He has been anticipating receiving the priesthood for a very long time. It was a wonderful day and Conner looks so handsome.
Proud parents!
The Palmer's with the Palmer's! Thanks for your love and support!
Conner's 12th Birthday. Happy Birthday and we love you!
Conner, Mike and Josh after their 50 mile hike(which turned out to be 61.3 miles for the boys and 82 for Mike). Long story short, the hike took longer than anticipated. Mike left the group on his own to try to contact the leaders who were picking them, so they wouldn't worry about why the boys weren't showing up on schedule. He hiked out found one of the leaders and hiked back in the next day with food, since the boys ran out of food the day before. They were blessed with many miracles and stronger testimonies of the power of pray and that they are being watched out for. It was a very difficult, but rewarding experience for both the boys and Mike.
Thatcher 1st ward deacons and leaders. You guys rock!
Mike's legs after the hike from breaking trail through catclaw, cactus, and all sorts of other fun vegetation. The trail they went on wasn't a real marked trail, they had to make their own. Josh and Conner's legs and arms looked similar.
Our vacation north...
Jacob and Brauk with some of their friends in WY. Our friends the Smith's had a big BBQ at the KOA. We love the KOA!

Conner and Josh jousting.
Jacob and I don't know?
Logan and Brauk. Brauk could barely lift it, but he still tried his hardest.
Jayden and Kaitlyn. I deleted the pic of Kaitlyn with her broken arm on accident. When we were in WY she broke it crashing on a bike with her friend McKailey. Kaitlyn didn't let her broken arm stop her from doing anything or having fun. She adjusted!
The kids had a blast on the double waterslide they played on this for hours!
Good times!
