We got a new splash pad at the baseball fields in Thatcher so we had to go try it out.

For one of Kaitlyn's Personal Progress Projects, she taught Hailey piano for the entire school year.  She did a great job getting her started.

Jacob and Brauk found so new fun friends Connor and Jacob Rasmussen who have been in our ward, but who just moved in down the road from us.  They love to play together.  This is the four of them floating the gross canal in town.

 

 

In honor of Cinco de Mayo for FHE we watch Nacho Libre in our stretchy pants.

 



Kaitlyn getting ready to run the mile at the jr. high championship.  She got 3rd overall! Awesome!

 



Josh and some other Thatcher boys were invited to go to prom in Gilbert.  One of the boys' cousins lives there and her and some of her friends needed dates.  So the Aunt paid for everything if they would come down and take these girls out.  Josh had a great time, especially with his friends.

They went to Sunsplash during the day.

I made this little collage on Mother's Day to show my gratitude for these 6 kids who made me a mom. I love being their mom!

We met up with the Kunzler family at the reception. Love this family!

 



Kaitlyn got to spend some time with her old friends.

 



I got to spend time with one of Conner's favorite people Lyndee Walker

 



While we were in Wyoming, Mike and the littles were at Braydon's Mission Homecoming.

 



 

They also spent some time in Preston with family.

We also spent some time with Grandma Jeppsen at Ligoris (our fav)

 



It was Kaitlyn's 13th birthday while visiting so we had to go out for a birthday lunch.

 



 

 

What a beautiful girl...On the inside and out!
