Happy Mother's Day...from the favorite child!
Ben and Lauren took good care of their mom for Mother's Day. A little MD breakfast on the lanai. Looks yummy.
Ben made it to finals swim meet. He now goes on to state.
Smooooth Ben on the beach serenading!

Chatter April/May 2014
The
rush to end the school year is on!
School projects, assignments, performances, graduations. It’s all important and don’t even think about
missing a single one!
Kate
has performed at least 15 out of the 30 days last month…or at least it seems
like it. Hobble Creek Choir has been
invited to perform for many audiences and they have had so much fun doing it. Especially when Kate gets to see cousins in
Logan (USU)! Pictures are worth a
thousand words…right?
While
at the Red Barn performance we talked Jake into sitting on the wooden fence and
snapped a few pics of him as well.
Jake is now 15 and thinking about a driver’s license (or at
least a learners permit), getting paid to umpire little league baseball games,
more fishing and SUMMER.
Jake
was given the opportunity to help a friend in the neighborhood with his Eagle
Project. The young man is an amazing
swimmer (recruited by BYU) and wanted to give under-privileged children in
Springville an opportunity learn how to swim.
So John and Jake and a crew of many other youth in our community held
classes for several weekends in April.
John’s mom offered this review of the project once completed:
“As I watched the ten teenagers who
offered to help John with his project, I was impressed with what these youth
were doing. There was so much noise and enjoyment in the pool as these
teens helped these kids learn to swim. I loved seeing them work--they
were laughing, smiling, and enjoying helping as they gave of their time.
I wish I had a You Tube video of the morning, and it would be titled
"Teens That Care!" I share a few pictures that I took,
and I want you to notice not only the smiles on the second and third graders,
but also the cute teen helpers. They are awesome!! It was a great
morning--one that I wish all of Springville could see these great kids in
action!”
Kate
placed (1st in 100, 3rd in 200) at the Hershey Track
Meet. Because of her wins she is now
invited to the district meet. She loves
running, especially sprinting. Pictured
here with the Springville/Mapleton Royalty.
We saw Bianca on Mother’s Day. She came to hear Kate give her first
Sacrament meeting talk and then had dinner with us. It was nice to get caught up with her and
find out what is happening in her life.
Kate prepared and served a delicious Mother’s Day breakfast which
included a poem she wrote for me. Jake
was on time to church without me bugging him too much (that is a BIG deal), and
Bianca brought me flowers in a wooden planter box she made. She knows I love spring flowers. Kels, of course was slaving away in the
Singles Ward, but the bishop gave him special permission to leave for a few
minutes to come hear Kate speak. Kels
and kids made dinner for all the moms in the family. It was a very nice day.
We are sprinting to the end of May and then we’ll be ready
for Summer fun!
