END OF MAY WRAP UP

May was tons of fun. Here are some of the last random pictures from the month.

Grandpa Ballstaedt is always good for a little laugh with the kids. He lets them take bites right off of the block of cheese. He thinks it is so funny, but then so do I.





As you can tell we spend alot of time in the car, and so Chance takes alot of naps in the car. I personally find it is one of the best places to take naps.


I took Samantha and Mason to a Real game with Sam and Hilary. It was really hot but a lot of fun. The only down side was they made us throw away our licorice before we went into the game. Awesome stadium though!

MEMORIAL DAY

My sister Rebekah and I decided to go visit our Grandma and Grandpa Ballstaedt's graves for Memorial Day. It had been quite a few years since I had been there. We got there and I had also forgotten how big the whole cemetery was. It took a long time to walk over to the area we thought it was and then to actually find their spot took some hunting. We finally found it. We gave the kids some paper and crayons and color a picture while they were there. The kids didn't really get it or understand, but it was nice to go. My grandparents were such incredible people. The gospel was so important in their lives, and they did such a great job of teaching their kids and letting their family know they loved them. It was a nice day to remember my grandparents!

CALIFORNIA WITH THE RICH'S

California was so much fun, as you can tell because there are so many dang pictures. But honestly how can you choose just a few? I can't so they are all there. We loaded all up, and believe me, we barely fit once we got everything in the car. We had fun going to Sea World, the beach, Disneyland, playing in the pool as much as possible, golfing for the boys, doing some crafts, fishing and just spending lots of time being together.
Thanks for planning the trip Honey and Poppy, we loved being there!
