They call it May-cember for a reason (May 2019)

Cort had a good Month
Cort performed in the school talent show. After a little help from me but mostly him teaching himself to play the piano he played London Bridge. He also won this months Troll Patrol award. He heard something that was not right and told an adult about it. We enjoyed his artwork at Night at the Museum. We were able to watch him perform with the school choir. What a treat! 
Finally he said good-bye to 2nd grade and his teacher Mrs. Montoya.  

Natural History Museum
I was able to go with Cort and Marshal and Grandpa and Grandma Kunz to the Natural History Museum for Cort's field trip. We had a good time learning about the Mayans.

Of course when we saw an arctic wolf we had to take a picture of it for Braxton.

Braxton choir concert
Braxton finished up his last and final choir concert of the year. It was fun to have them sing a few songs that I know from my dad's era. We love to watch and hear Braxton sing.  

Spring Soccer: Cort
Once again Cort and Marshal played soccer. 
It is always fun to watch them and try and capture those good shots. 

Cort is getting much better and he has really enjoyed taking his turn being goalie this year.

We couldn't ask for a better soccer team or coach!

Spring Soccer: Marshal 
Marshal had a blast playing soccer with his team. He loved scoring the goals!

One game Marshal wasn't chasing after the ball and Kent and I encouraged him to go after it. We found out after that his coach had asked him to hold back because she wanted to give other kids a chance to have the ball. Oops! lol

Cute little friends! We hope to see some of these soccer friends next season!

Class of 2019 Graduation
Kade Robison
Kent and I have come to the realization that it really means a lot to us when we get the opportunity to show our support for our nieces and nephews for their special events. We felt honored to celebrate Kade on his special day with other members of the family. Kent and I also enjoyed razzing Gordon about officer whistling school when we watched this officer direct traffic.

Class of 2019 Graduation
Brianna Kunz
I got creative and came up with this idea for making a graduation card for Brianna. It was fun to make. I may have to work on making more of these cards!

I learned from Kade's graduation the night before and brought my good camera so I could get some better shots of Brianna.

Waiting for graduation to start and playing with baby Rachel after graduation.
It was nice to see Liesel and Jonathan and spend time with my cute niece Rachel.

Life in May
As I have started to approach 40-years-old I have discovered that my phone can be harder and harder to focus on if I don't hold it out a little. Kent has really enjoyed teasing me about this and while we were waiting for Marshal's new glasses Marshal snatched my phone and got some great shots of Kent making fun on me. Now I have physical proof of Kent making fun of his aging wife. lol

Top left: We enjoyed a fun night with Kent's cousin Tyson and his family at Lodestone Park off of Mountain View Corridor and 6200 S. 
Top middle and right: Marshal bringing in the mail can be quite the task as times. 
Bottom left: Marshal made his own PB&J and shows off his tongue skills. 
Bottom middle: I couldn't resist taking this pic of Taisley and Raylynn cruising in the barbie jeep!
Bottom Right: I'm so grateful that Braxton loves his dog. She is a good dog!

Top left: The youth were invited to sing in the choir for stake conference. There's nothing like having your son sitting right behind the podium to let you know if you've done a good job at teaching your son how to be appropriate during stake conference. Luckily he did well. Guess that means we passed.
Other Top Pictures: My handsome boys posing in front of the house for me on Mother's Day & Marshal and I taking a selfie.
Bottom left: I wish I could remember what we fed him, but Marshal had a great pucker face response to whatever it was. 
Bottom middle: You know you must be a crazy driver when your son gets head protection on for a car trip. Lol We had dinner at mom and dad's house for Mother's Day and were privileged to visit with Michaela and Levi via video chat. 
Bottom right: One of my favorite things to do on Memorial Day is visit the graves. Mom and Dad met us up at Larkin in Sandy.

Beautiful May
The beauties of the earth never cease to amaze me! Enjoy!
