I AM A TOTAL SLACKER!

I have been a total slacker this past month. There has been much going on and not much blogging or photo taking. Jared and I were lucky enough to take a trip to Europe (pictures to come), Abby and Madison finished up spring soccer season (forgot to take pictures), they also started up slow-pitch softball (hopefully pictures to come). Bailey participated in a Mother's Day Tea party at preschool. Unfortunately, we were on our trip and I didn't send the babysitter with a camera. Bailey also attended preschool graduation (pics to come). Kelsee and Abby had their piano recital. Kelsee had her orchestra concert (we were also out of town for this event). Abby and Madison had a mother/daughter activity day (we were also out of town for this event...no photos.) Our babysitter, Ashley, did tell me that they kicked butt in the water balloon volleyball contest. Kelsee participated in a swim-a-thon to fundraise for her swim team. She swam 3 miles in under 2 hours...we missed this event too! Kelsee attended an honors night and received a few awards at school. Abby earned the Give Me Liberty award for memorizing many different things related to our country. She also had her final choir concert at school. All the kids finished school the Friday before Memorial Day so we headed up to Star Valley to visit mom and help decorate my dad's grave, attended an unexpected funeral for Jared's Uncle Butch who died of a massive stroke. Now we are home, school is out, summer has officially started and I have taken this past week to regroup. Abby, Kelsee and Madison will begin summer swim team tomorrow. I look forward to a little bit of a schedule...it helps keep me sane. Hopefully I will be able to have the computer to myself sometime this week so I can post some of the pictures of the past month.
