Baseball, BBQ's and Ballet in May

With the arrival of Spring came lots of

fun events that we have been able to be a part of.

Minie, Poppy and Greta go to the same

dance school and consequently we were able

to see all three of these lovely dancers

in their Spring Recital at one time.

Here you see them after they have been

showered with flowers from their

adoring public....

And it's no wonder...with performances like these!!

It was a rather long performance but well worth

the wait to see these little stars.

May seemed a little too early for evening cook-outs

up the canyon but Brad and Vanessa's invitations

to their backyard cook-outs were PERFECT!

They recently moved to American Fork and have

worked hard on their yard, acquired a swingset,

made a square foot garden, and made great use of

their fire pit. The perfect hosts, they even set up

the large outdoor screen for an outdoor movie

night that the kids loved!!

Dress-ups are always somehow a part of any event

involving these four....

And it wouldn't be spring without baseball!!

Unfortunately, with my work schedule, I

was only able to attend one of Jude's games.

But he has improved leaps and bounds in one

year and he ALWAYS makes me proud!

Jude always has lots of support from the peanut gallery.

Heck, half the fun is who is watching the game with you!

Poor little Gretsie...her bout with Fifths Disease left her

ultra sensitive to the sun so she has had to do long sleeves

and pants and a broad billed hat to avoid terrible hives.

Sweet girl refuses to let anything slow her down!

All in all it has been a great May. So, bring on

the lazy, hazy days of summer!
