May showers bring June flowers, right?

Month of rain, but some good times too! here is a dump of the activities... some in the rain, some on the rare occasion it held up for a few hours. 
 Click here to see some video of the cute boys:  They are growing up!

The boys made a fire pit in the sand box from the left over bricks at our house.  Quite ingenious I would say.  We all had a fun night of treats.

Mimi really enjoyed the grahams and chocolate too!

My nephew Kaden plays on the Snow Canyon High School Rugby team.  They were up here playing for the state Championship.  THEY WON on a "out of time" TRY.  so exciting and fun to cheer at a sport that was born in my boys blood.  It was freezing and of course RAINING because that's all it does this month, but worth watching a sweet victory!

Friends and Family 5k run.... another even in the RAIN, but it's always fun to see my kids out and exercising.  (Above is us with the Rowe Family in our ward.  My kids all love this family).  This race is put on by the Church and no medals or timing was done.  Just fun to get out and finish.  In the beautiful May weather.  hahah!

Luke with a couple buddies showing off the Robotics Club.  We are really liking Sage Creek and are excited to get Sam over there next year too.

Jake had a raging friend party and his friend's (Jarom) mom sent over these pictures.  Jake has a good group of kids he hangs around.  This was one of his first late night boy parties and it didn't disappoint.  Pizza and games and movies till they were tired out!

My boys were lucky enough to go and be ball boys for the national championship rugby game (BYU).  We are lucky to have uncles involved with the team, so we always get a heads up when things are going on.  I sure wish they didn't think rugby was as cool as they do, but this was pretty much a highlight in their life, and it's fun to see them happy!!!

Mimi turned 9 months old and is still the sweetest little peanut around.  She is pulling herself up and loves to walk with her walker toy.  She just smiles all the time and loves her mom and dad!

Some more 9 month picts for your viewing pleasure.  And mine!

Mimi is "SO BIG" as you can see her throwing her hands up to the riddle... cute. 
Here's a video of her patty cake tricks: Patty Cake

And some more rain and snow as I TRIED to run the Ogden Marathon.  I was shooting for a 3:40 and got a great 4:03!!  It was FREEZING and wet the WHOLE RUN.  but the course was beautiful and I of course have beautiful friends to run with.  It's always fun when it's over, but most the time I wonder why in the world I like to run marathons!!!
