May 20th

Heath got an early birthday present this year. 

He got a new motorbike so he can go out and supervise those crazy boys of ours on their bikes.

I'm pretty excited for him.

Kenna birthday

For Kenna's 5th birthday we had the usual 5 balloons ready for her when she opened her presents after church. This girl loves presents! Her brothers and sisters made sure it was a special day. They let her be the boss.

"It was my birth day. It was fun. Emmitt was peeking on my picture. I asked my mom for a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. I like being 5 now." - Kenna

Heath's birthday - He's kind of a big deal!

For Heath's birthday I ordered a bunch of shirts that said "My friend Heath, he's kind of a big deal" and gave out about 30 of them to our friends around here in the Heber. I asked them to get on Facebook and send him a little HAPPY BIRTHDAY video of them wearing their shirts on his actual birthday. It was fun fun fun. This is our friend Angie. She was in Oregon at Multnomah Falls and posted this picture. It was so much fun to have everyone give him birthday wishes with their shirts on.

That evening I invited local friends, family, and coworkers up for a BBQ and fun. I ordered this monster sized tres leche cake that says "YOU'RE KIND OF A BIG DEAL" from the Mexican market. It is his favorite.

Our friends Mary and Kelly made Heath this apron for this birthday. It has fur accents which is an inside joke from a Regency Ball we went to with them where Heath insisted on a fur lined Regency tailcoat. We had a great evening and it was so fun to have fun Heber and Midway people that we love share it with us.

On May 23rd, Kendal had her last orchestra concert for the year. It's been amazing to see what a great violinist she has become in just one school year. She loves music and is so good at it.

This is Kendal and Lydia Jones.
