Hello everyone--When Jayna put the reminder up I got my calendar out to see what has happened. I went up to Belknap Springs with Aunt Sandy and Grandma on May third (Jayna's happy birthday). We spent the night and had a good time. Then the 10th we went to Portland to take grandma to see Daniel O'Donnell, the singer from Ireland. We stayed in the hotel on the river right downtown. I'm so glad we went- first mothers day I had spent with mom in a long time. The rest of the month has been a blur of doctors appointments and tests and medicine adjustments. I think that will be the story for June as well. Dad got a new chair called the Beast because it is so big ! At least he can get out of it. That was his happy birthday and will be fathers day as well. The weather has been cold but my tomatoes are doing very well. Eralee told me to plant in black wastebaskets and place them by the house to hold the heat. I have mostly left them in the storage shed and have discovered it is almost as good as a green house. Haven't seen any bees though. We also got a garage door opener so dad can go out that way. What luxury! Forgot to say that dad and I went to Eugene to a track meet and who should appear but Barack Obama. He played the crowd and then left as he was speaking some place else on campus. I have a book I call my "First Aid Journal" My personal Collection of Uplifting and Healing Quotes. Here is one of them-"A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but always a guiding light whose love shows us the way." Kay Andrews Know that you are loved. Love mom

Our month of May started out with Jump Rope for Heart. Both Sarah and Andrew participated and had a really fun time. They asked both grandparents to pledge them and helped their school reach a total of $14,000 to donate to the American Heart Association. Spencer went with his preschool friends to the Boise Zoo and had a great time!! Benjamin and Mom tagged along with and had fun, too! Nathan had a resident/family BBQ one Sat. at Hillcrest. That was also the same day of Andrew's last soccer game and his teams family BBQ. Andrew had a great season in soccer and wish it had been longer! I had a wonderful Mother's day. I was spoiled with many gifts and didn't have to make a meal all day - yeah!!! Andrew was excited to get his cast off, but needed to wear a brace for a couple more weeks. He is slowly rebuilding his muscles in his arm! He got his cast off the day before the Cup Stacking Tournament. Please read our blog for more news on how well they did!! http://www.fourcutekids.blogspot.com/ Sarah has a piano recital the end of May and did SO well - we were so proud of her. That was also the night I dropped my debit card at a gas station and was called at 12:30 am two nights later from a cop that had pulled someone over who had my debit card. It was a miracle that the lady hadn't used it. May ended with Andrew's graduation from Kindergarten and the last day of school carnival. Both were a great way to end a super year of school!! We were happy to celebrate Jayna's and Dad's birthday even though we could only visit with them on the phone!!!! Happiest of Birthdays!!!!!!!!We love you all and can't wait to see you in less than a month!!!!!!!!
