Gotta love May

It's been a beautiful week, with some much needed rain on Friday and Saturday, then a wonderful day on Sunday.
Just to recap the weekend....The boys went and bought another storage unit (I think this is about the 10th) and were

entertained  and inspired by the contents. It contained thousands of collectible cards from the 90's, all organized and labeled in boxes, which they plan to sell on Ebay.  They (Curt and Spencer) are both pretty psyched about the prospects of making money online.

Friday, Amie and I took the kids to the park for lunch, but it was the end of the school year and nearly every park was packed with kids having their last field trips. We ended up going to their house and letting the kids play on their swing set.

Gabi was her usual adventurous self, hang upside down on the monkey bars, while Corbin (after a couple of tries) did the same. Sophie, not to be left out, really wanted to do the same.  She asked Gabi to show her how and Gabi replied, "Watch and learn, my friend, watch and learn".  Sophie and I cracked up!

On Saturday, Carrie and I went to a crop at a local church. We had a great time! Had some fun people to sit with and got in lots of much needed laughs! (and a little scrap booking as well)

Sunday morning at 6:30, Brad and I picked up Curt and the kids and drove to Denver to watch Amie complete her first
half marathon, beginning and ending at the Zoo.  What an accomplishment!  She finished under 2 hours, which was her goal.
We got home and started readying for our Sunday dinner.  Brad's cousin,
Sherrie and her husband Dan joined us.  They recently lost their home in
Denver to a fire and are rebuilding.  They loved the design of our house (which they had only seen once at Great Grandma's 90th birthday party),
and are hoping to build one like it, and thought it would be a good idea to
look things over again.  Brad was in the kitchen most of the day making
some marinate fajita-like chicken, a huge bowl of guacamole, one of fruit salad, and a third with a black bean/corn/cilantro/tomatoes concoction that was SO scrumptious.  It was well worth the time he spent!  Meredith contributed her usual luscious dessert with a butterfinger cake.  Yummy!!!
The kids played on the pirate ship all afternoon, and then all took showers and or baths before departing.  I hope to find one dry towel this morning when
I start getting ready for work!
I can't believe this is the last week of school!  This year has flown!!!!!
