MAY DAY MAY DAY!

Isn’t May Day not the call for help? Well, I need it! Any one interested in packing boxes and any other service just let me know, I will gladly accept! We sold our house. I can't believe May is coming to an end. Where did it go? It just boogied on by. The last Round of Snack Packer we did strawberry ladybugs! School is drawing to a close & Summer is on its way!


Here is my month in review...

In Early part of May, I went to the Vernal Temple with my good friend Wendy. I couldn't go with her the first time through, (Co-ed Volleyball tournament in Riverton 5th place and yes, there were more than 5 teams, 12 or 14 I think!) but I am so glad I was able to go with Wendy for the 2nd it is the hardest 'cause you don't have your Rookie Sticker on! We went down early on a Friday morning, I think we might have been the only one's under 60 there.






Next I headed to Blackfoot for my good friend Brooke's Baby Shower (I am over the top excited for her)! It was nice to have a little bit of a girls weekend I took my Best Friend Natalie with me. We had a good time shopping and hanging out with me beautiful niece Stephanie. I was so mad I forgot my Camera but Natalie assured me I could use hers nice huh? Except she left her memory card home no good we are too much alike, thanks anyway! Hopefully Brooke will give me a copy of some she gets! I took this off JaLane's Blog, we all grew up together L to R JaLane, Me, Brooke, Emily.
We came back on Mother's Day and I was able to have my mom come stay for a couple of weeks. When we got back Brant & the kids had made Breakfast (my favorite meal) Complete with Pig Pancakes for Grandma (She collects Pigs). Rianne was too happy to have me go she was bugging dad to take her to the mall where she found me a frog mother’s day gift (I collect frogs). Heath quickly asked if he could play with the ball he picked out for me! Brant gave me the sweetest card!



















We had quite the adventure taking Grandma on a wild Hike of the Pilot Butte. I was so proud of my mom as you can see from the picture it is really up there and she does not like heights! Rianne is always up for an adventure and likes to record it all, glad she's on it. Heath just liked being "king of the Rock' Then a BBQ Birthday Party for Joey big 40! We had such a great time! I love our back yard and Great friends! We are really going to miss BBQ in the back yard with Buddies!


I enjoyed my mom so much, she is the best! Heath was confused pretty much the whole time my mom was here because Grandma Silly Sally & Grandma Mary look and sound too much alike! He has now realized Grandma Silly Sally is the one with the Swing @ her house! Which he only figured out when we took Grandma back!


We love the memorial day tradition with my family. After my Grandpa Heath passed away my Grandma used to say "let's go have lunch with Grandpa today" we'd pack a picnic and head over to the cemetery and we had the best talks. My family cleans and decorates graves and then of course lunch! On Saturday we were able to go up to Teton and decorate my grandpa Higley's grave. I love the picture of brothers at my
Grandpa’s grave. “Higley Boys” It was a great weekend!











On Monday we got to go the long way home to see our new niece Kaija. Congratulations Natalie she is absolutely adorable!






Rianne's Swimming lessons ended she is level 5 so, she was a better swimmer than me like 4 levels ago. She couldn't quite pass to level 6, picking up a brick from the bottom of the pool was just too hard. Funny Heath moment: He likes to get in the lockers at the pool while Rianne is doing her thing, Ria's little friend had not yet seen Heath (and he had bad stinky gas). He was in a locker when the girls came back from the shower Ria's friend says "something smells like rotten eggs" With a roll of her eyes Ria says "probley my brother". It was! Mr. Toot strikes again in the locker!

In the way of other sports news City League volleyball came to an end on Tuesday, Our first time since we started playing city league that we won't be playing for the big T-shirt. Oh Well. We have so much fun, we usually win. In the action shot I am setting Brant I'm sure he will Crush it! Brant and I love it!
Well this MAY go down as the longest blog post in history but there is MAYbe more.
