June 2009

To celebrate the first full week of summer and because
the girls all did their chores and school work, we went and got
ice cream. The McNeals went with us.
The girls like the blue cotton candy ice cream.

The Gourley's, Broderick's, Nana and Natalie take on
the Timpanogus Cave Hike. Seven kids 8 and younger.

Katie, Lexi, Alex, Lizzy, Abby and Sammy were great
little hikers. Hardly any complaining on the way up.
The way down is always a different story. It seems to
be harder to get down the mountain for them than going up.

May 2009

Katie and Abby played soccer this spring , each on different
team. They are both great little players. Lizzy and Lexi
came mostly for the treats that those watching the games
got to eat. It was great fun to cheer on the players.

This was also the month that Mike taught the twins to
ride their bikes without training wheels.
Lizzy in the white and Lexi in the yellow. Now they
can keep up with the big girls.

The twins graduated from pre-school. They are getting
so old.

Lexi in the polka dots. Miss Amber taught all the girls.
The twins will miss her.

Mother's Day with four generations.

Katie's Baptism Day

On May 2, 2009 Mike baptized Katie.

Katie was baptized with her friends, Rhett Miner, and
Shaleah Hayes.

It was a great day. The Spirit was very strong and we
will remember the always.

Disneyland, April 2009

We went to California with all the Broderick's.
We drove down in the motorhome, six kids and
six adults, it was great fun. The first thing we did
was go to the beach and the girls played in the
ocean. It was very cold.

The tea cups were a crowd pleaser. We all
like to spin and spin.

The guys went on Splash Mountain and were soaked.

The first day we saw Mickey Mouse. Maddie, Katie, Lexi,
Abby and Makenna.

This was a great vacation. We all had a wonderful
time together. The last night on the ride home the
girls all fell asleep before we were out of the parking
lot. We can't wait to go back.
