May & Memorial Weekend 2008

Geoff was in Qatar for Mother's Day but the kids pampered me and made me such cute cards. We had a yummy brunch of bran muffins, strawberries and eggs. For dinner Lexi wanted to have a fancy sit down dinner so she helped me make roast, salad and corn fritters. Aunt Chrissy came and brought dessert. Lexi set the dining room table and even set out finger dishes to wash your hands in. Before we could say anything Calvin drank up his warm finger water! When we told him what he did he said that was a dumb idea and he already washed his hands!

Of course for our annual tradition we went to pinetop during Memorial weekend with the Vernons. It was crazy this year because there was a snow storm on our way up and first day there we even had to go to a hotel the first night because the electricity was down at the cabin! But 4 days later the snow all melted and it was in the 70's again.

We found this waterfall at woodland lake which is normally not going because there is not enough water. We took some cute pictures by it.

All the kids LOVED exploring by the lake and waterfall. Calvin found this stick that looked like a gun so he had to carry it around the whole time.

Cooper loved throwing things into the muddy water of course.

The girls loved climing all the rocks and posing for me.
Lexi is in her element, Nature! Her and Dallin could have spent all day at the lake and waterfall exploring everything.

On the way home we also stopped by the Salt River and let the kids wade in the water.

Amber also graduated from Kindergarden a few days later. Geoff was able to go to the graduation ceremony a day before he left to Qatar again.
