One Sunday in March I was at Ward Conferences all day, and Dan and Joseph took advantage of some sunshine and clear skies to go on a walk just before sunset. Joseph is quite the photographer and likes capturing fun shots.
Aubrey had a "black box" night for her Theater Focus in which she performed a dialogue with Emma and participated in a fundraiser to earn money for their trip to the Shakespeare festival. I got absolutely no good pictures, but still wanted to remember the night.
On March 17 Joseph attended a very rainy 11 year old Scout campout. He was especially invited to be part of the small group, even though he had officially "graduated" from the group.
In March celebrated when a franchise of our favorite pizza place opened nearby.
The end of March Joseph went on another Scout campout.
On April 4th Joseph and Dan attended the opening day of Star Wars Rogue One
Aubrey and I attended a fun ward Spring Tea Party before Women's Conference.
In April our friend Carline Anthony surprised us by bringing Dan an entire pot of beef stew. He was super excited!
Aubrey celebrated color war day at VSAA.
Aubrey loved her Physics class this year. This is a picture of the Physics project she and Emma did.
And for yet another project she used our big bathtub to time a boat powered by a candle or something like that.
Joseph was acknowledged for his good grades which put him on the Honor Roll at the middle school.
The rain finally stopped long enough for Dan and Joseph (and Hunter and Alex) to build the new trampoline we got for Christmas
Joseph worked hard in Middle School Track all during the spring and participated in high jump,
shot put,
and long jump. We loved cheering him on and he loved participating in the sport with his friends.
I finally updated the photos which sit on Dan's desk. On the bottom row are the pictures from 2010. On the top are more recent pictures.
We had the rainiest spring on record in the PNW. We just about floated away! In May my friend Kathy Kartchner and I ventured out to the Salmon Creek trail to see if it was passable yet. There were still multiple places for the Salmon Creek had flooded the trail.
On May 10th I chaperoned the 6th graders from Joseph's middle school on a trip to OMSI. It was fun to meet his peers and spend time with Joseph while checking out one of our favorite museums. OMSI had a cool Lego exhibit at the time we visited.
The end of May Joseph went to a fun Scout Camporee at Battle Ground Lake Stake Park. It was a busy, fun, dirty weekend for him!
And, to round out May, we enjoyed a fun Memorial Day barbecue at the Williams' house. Hunter came with us. It was a bittersweet experience to enjoy so much spending time with Kartchners, who were moving soon.
