The end of May





I think that May is one of the busiest times of the year! I am now done with field day(2 days)!!! Soccer is winding up and try outs are going to start. Basketball camps are about to begin, swim and tennis lessons too. I think that we will be plenty busy, but we just won't have school to worry about!

On Tuesday night I had the chance to go with Arie to the Taylor Swift concert in Salt Lake. It was sooo much fun! It was fun to watch the girls sing along with Taylor. Arie and I went with Chalisa, Kaimbre and Aubre. We headed down a bit early and ate at the Red Robin and then went to the concert. The video clip is the beginning of the concert. Kelly Pickler was one of the openers, but cancelled. Arie and I didn't make it home until 1 am. We were even later than the bear hunters!

The boys in our house have come and gone on the bear hunt. They had a good time. Jace was able to shoot his first bear!

I bought my camera with the purpose in mind of taking pictures of some of my bike rides. Last night Shane and I went on a really pretty ride, and of course no camera. It is really a good thing that I didn't bring the camera because I wrecked so many times that I would have broke the thing! (I just put on my clip pedals and shoes--- I am not doing so well on the loose big rock :( ) I will keep working at this so I don't wreck so much. I will also start wearing my helmet, gloves and longer pants--maybe even some elbow pads!

The weather has been so nice. I have been on a couple rides this week. I hope I will pick up a few rides this week. This upcoming Sat. is the Little Red Riding Hood. Sara, Heidie and I will do the 80 mile ride :)
