WOW..MAY WAS REALLY FULL. IT BEGAN WITH PAPA JOE BEING CALLED TO BE THE BISHOP OF THE CEDAR CITY 5TH WARD...IT WAS GREAT THAT SO MANY OF YOU COULD MAKE IT FOR CHURCH AND FOR THE SETTING APART. WE ALSO HAD A GREAT BIRTHDAY PARTY ON THAT SAME DAY FOR GREAT GRANDFATHER UP ON THE MOUNTAIN. GREAT FOOD AND FUN TIMES TO SEE ALL THE COUSINS TOGETHER. MOTHER'S DAY AT MARY'S WAS SO FUN. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO SEE RYAN RECEIVE THE PRIESTHOOD. HOW PROUD WE ALL ARE OF HIM AND HOW FUN TO HAVE MARY INCLUDE PASCO AND KELLY AT THE LUNCHEON. IT WAS A GOOD DAY. JEN AND HER FAMILY DROVE ALL THE WAY FROM IDAHO AND IT WAS GREAT TO VISIT WITH THE FAMILY. WE CELEBRATED JONATHAN'S 4TH BIRTHDAY, BEAU'S 37TH BIRTHDAY, JEFF'S 40 SOMETHING BIRTHDAY AND PAPA JOE'S 71ST BIRTHDAY. ALL IN MAY. THANKS TO MARY AND LEON AND JEN AND JEFF FOR ALL YOUR HELP ON THE FARM HOUSE AND FARM. I CAN SEE THAT THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN DO THIS ALONE SO WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP! IF YOU MISSED OUT ON ALL THE FUN JUST CALL AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ARRANGE SOME MORE. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR REMEMBERING PAPA JOE'S BIRTHDAY. IT REALLY MEANT SO MUCH TO HIM.
MAY ALSO BROUGHT KIRSI'S SEMINARY GRADUATION, SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS AND DECISION TO GO TO BYU! WHAT A THRILL FOR SHELBY, NATHAN AND RYAN TO BE IN THE DRAPER TEMPLE CELEBRATION! JOSEPH, SAM, BEN AND DAVID'S STRING PERFORMANCE WERE PART OF THE MAY SCENE! PAPA JOE SAYS HE CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT GOOD WORKERS JOSEPH, SAMUEL, BENJAMIN AND DAVID ARE ON THE FARM. YOU GUYS ARE REALLY AWESOME! ARE WE ALL GOING TO FLOAT THE BEAR RIVER AGAIN? WHAT DO YOU THINK JEN? MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE EVERYONE BRING THEIR OWN TUBES SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN LAST YEAR.
BIG THINGS HAPPENING IN JUNE....END OF SCHOOL, KIRSI'S GRADUATION, CAMPS AND SPORTS GALORE! CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ABOUT IT ALL! HAVE A GOOD ONE, LOVE MOM, GRANDMOTHER, KATHY
