We've wrapped up most of the craziness that the end of the school year brings and we're ready to head to Lake Shasta! Travis bought this new little storage thing-y and the kids thought it was pretty cool. It sure would be a peaceful drive if they could really sit back there together.Last Day of 1st grade

Carson did really well in school this year. He was a great student and well liked by his teacher and classmates. He's come a long way with his reading and is good at math. I pray that lasts because my genes are greatly lacking in that department.
My nephew, Zach, just graduated from High School and I helped my sister in-law teach a dance at his graduation party as one of the stations in an amazing race type activity. The buns were part of the clue that led the groups to our station. Lovely, aren't we?!
Helvetia Half Pre race
It's been a few years since I did this race, but it was a family event this year and I trained better than in the past in hopes I could beat my previous times.
Post Race = Red face
I was pretty happy with the race, I beat my time by almost 15 minutes. I got 1:48-ish, averaging an 8:16 min mile, which is fast for me. Travis did great too and beat his last time.
The picture below shows that spandex is not my friend! Curses!
After the race Carson had a piano recital and his last baseball game. His teacher is pretty fun and dressed up for the movie themed recital as Woody.
Carson was lucky to have the support of his grandparents who were in town for the graduation.
I stressed so much over making him practice, but with two other people playing with him, it disguised most mistakes. Maybe that's why his teacher set it up that way!

Last Baseball Game
Carson had a great season on a really fun team. All the kids improved a lot and it was fun to watch their progress. This is the way Carson crossed home plate. I think Travis gets a little frustrated that Carson doesn't take it more seriously, but he's out there just for the fun of it! Not super competitive yet.
Drummer BoyHolden's been drumming a lot lately. He wears these ear muffs because he thinks they're cool, but the problem is he can't hear how loudly he's playing! He likes to play in the backyard too, poor neighbors and poor us! We're the ones that need the ear muffs!!
Ms. Stella before her 2nd time in nursery. It was rough because she hadn't been back for 3 weeks due to Stake Conference, vacation and then being sick. She cried most of the time until she fell asleep in the nursery leader's arms. :( I repaid them by subbing the following week.
Swimming
The first weekend in June the weather was awesome, it actually felt like summer! We took the kids swimming in their aunt's pool and they had a great time.

That was a busy month for you guys! I hope your trip is a little more peaceful than the previous few weeks. :) Also, I saw you on race day after the race and spandex is in fact your friend and you didn't even look tired! I'm so mad I didn't get Amelia that swimsuit Stella has- it's ADORABLE! Thanks for doing carpool all year. Next year will be tricky, but as long as you don't move, I promise to make it worth your stay!
