May was a pretty busy month for our family. It started off in the hospital with Reuben, and included camping, birthdays, graduations, and a baptism (if we include the first few days of June...).

Livi's birthday was the 15th, and we went to her cousin's house to ride horses for a party. Then we had everyone over for cake and ice cream a day later. Tricia made a pretty creative birthday cake at Livi's request: it's a sunflower. She got a real camera for her birthday and has spent the last three weeks taking pictures and videos of everything around the house. We try to make her ask permission before she takes pictures, though.

Reuben was released from the hospital at the beginning of the month, and I've been trying to take pictures of tim ever since. Seems like most of the time he's asleep or crying, but we did manage to get a couple pictures of him in a quiet moment. He even posed for the camera a little bit. He might as well get used to it. He has been healthy ever since he left the hospital, and has been back for two checkups with the doctors since. Everything is normal and we're very happy to have him home with us.

Anna graduated from Kindergarten the last week of the month. We're so pleased with all the hard work she put in this year. She's really grown a lot and we love her. She was so excited to graduate, and will really miss her teacher, Mrs. Rico. We told her she could walk over to Mrs. Rico's house whenever she wants to though, since she just lives across the street.

Jarom and I went out with some of the boys in the family for a "fathers and sons" campout over Memorial Day weekend. We went with Grandpa Wayne, Ben and Bryson, and Uncle Dallin. In case you can't tell, the picture here is Grandpa and Jarom getting ready for a ride on the ATVs. We went out to Vernon Reservoir in the west desert (although we didn't end up camping at the reservoir-it was pretty crowded). It was pretty windy, but that didn't stop us from having a good time.

And then just this morning Olivia was baptized and confirmed. We're so pleased with the beautiful and smart young woman she is becoming. She makes some great choices and is learning to be a great help around the house. We love her so much and are happy she chose to be baptized.
