Mother's Day, Field Trips, Missionary Home, Graduation and Memorial Day

For Mother's Day Jacob and Dad got me a salt and pepper grinder, which I have loved!  After church we went down to Heidi's to have dinner with mom.

Toward the end of May Jacob went on a field trip to the zoo.  I've taken him a few times over the years and he is not really that into animals, but he seemed to have a fun time this year.  Before we went to preschool that day we had gone to the mall where they had face painting and he wanted his face painted.  :)


The following week Jason's brother, Stephen, got home from his mission to the Philippines.  It has been so fun to see him again!

The last week of preschool Jacob had a picnic at the park.  

  On Friday, May 25th, Jacob graduated from preschool!

I cannot believe he will be in Kindergarten next year!!  

We were going to spend the weekend with Jason's family due to Stephen coming home, but that didn't work out as planned.  Jacob had some sort of virus during the week and Jason caught it.  Sunday morning he was so dehydrated that his dad took him down to Utah Valley (where his doctor is) and they admitted him.  He spent his time there until Wed. getting better.  So fun, but we're thankful for modern medicine.

Jason's family was so great to help out.  They took him to church and watched him Mon - Wed. while I was with Jason.  On Monday (Memorial Day) I did go over to Karen's, where the family was, to pick up Jacob. He was having a great time with the cousins.

This past week we went with playgroup to Wheeler farm, fed the ducks, saw some animals, played on the farm equipment and had lunch.

 We also planted our garden this month.  We  have tomatoes, peppers, corn, cantaloupe, carrots and cucumbers.
























 I took Jacob and his friend Ryan to Cowabunga Bay for 4 hours and they had a great time--it really wore them out!

This week we start swimming lessons (4 mornings), crafts and games in the park (2 afternoons), Tuesday morning movie, Tuesday night T-ball, and Thursday Gymcats.  In our spare time we'll play with friends here on our street.  Should be a busy summer--it already needs to slow down!!
