Oliver was darling in his Pajama Party Kindergarten Program.
Hayley was equally darling in her Tallenette Showcase, SPELLBOUND! It was hard to pick a favorite from the 10 dances she was in.
Hayley's fan club.
Could this girl follow in her cousin's dance shoes/boots?!
Grandma and Mom were both on hand for Mac's Donut Day at his preschool.
Yum.
Meanwhile, back in Utah, Dad/Grandpa woke up to this -
Spring, however, did actually arrive. The temple flowers were beautiful.
And look what came "choo-chooing" around the bend!
In honor of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, the "Big Boy" (the largest steam locomotive in the world), came chugging through town. It is about 133 feet long and weighs 1.2 million pounds. A good time was had by all!!
Another puzzle kept us busy - and off the streets - for a few days.

A big THANK YOU to all my children for your Mother's Day remembrances, calls, and visits.
Someone once said that, "Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had and dealing with fears you didn't know existed."
Therefore, I guess I should thank you six wonderful children for helping me face my fears - and then living to tell about it!
And now for our Brazil connections...
Wayne (FlyGuy) and Dianne dropped by for breakfast last week on their way home from Washington.
Raquel and family brought her parents up for a visit.
We love our dear President and Sister Oliveira. It was fun to catch up on all the comings and goings in Curitiba.
(Too bad it was all in Portuguese!)
Our birthday celebrations this month included...
The three Seniors all graduated on the same day - the 24th.
Congratulations to them!
And, while we're at it, a great big congratulations to Dave for receiving his MBA!!!
WaHoo!
And let's not forget Mac. He did the "Big Walk" also!
I guess Ruby really is following in Hayley's footsteps!
Flowers and all! 💖
And, speaking of walks and footsteps, David successfully completed the Ogden Marathon.
His next "big step" will be his move to Texas in a couple of weeks - new job, new home, new friends, new adventures, for sure!!
We enjoyed a temple date with Bill and Sandy in Logan.
The Memorial Day Cemetery Run and BBQ were a little chilly.
Now that May's done and school's out...
Let the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer begin.....
