Our new favorite activity
Today was round four of water balloon fights (another cheap way to get wet)
My balloons are the smallest, grandma and CEM created pretty large, and REMs were huge.
This battle with the Skinner boys (preceded by CEMs class, the Skinner girls) was my fav

Last week of school
So my intention was to post pictures of all of the children activities this week, however somehow the end of the year is more hectic than the first.
MJM today is her last day as a 9th grade. She is excited, nervous and slightly scared about moving to Mountain View. She will be training to be a Jr Lifeguard and will be volunteering at Stapley Pool. She has her first job working for me and will be getting her drivers permit in July. She is solid on career plans and wants to be an Antepartum Nurse going to college at UCLA.
REM was awarded the Poston Panther Award, this is given to 20 kids per grade who show great citizenship, have high grades and nominated by more than one teacher. She got a 4.0 every semester in Jr High and will be the first set of 9th graders going to Mountain View . She lives and breathes basketball. She will spend the summer training for freshman ball. She wants to be an FBI Agent and I doubt will ever leave Arizona.
CEM is finishing third grade. She tested into ELP (even forging her dad's signature to be able to take the test ). She is doing swim team this summer and will focus on soccer in the fall. She is growing tall and smarter than all of us. She is starting to think about college options since she doesn't want to be left behind.
Ruth is out of town so I got to see Larissa graduate from preschool and Ethan graduated from kindergarten.
And, the Dartmouth house has a great family moving in on June 1.
And summer begins......

Macho saves the world for 5/22
I want to formally thank wrestler Randy Savage for preventing the end of the world as we know it so that I could celebrate my one year anniversary.
Happy Anniversary Tarzan (my macho man). You are indeed the love of my life. Amazing!

The first not the last time
REM's YMCA Championship Playoffs were at the US Airways Arena.
While the game ended not in our favor,I loved her positive Facebook post after the game "the first time I played at the US Airways Arena but not the last"
The male relatives showed great support (Thanks for coming grandpa, Joe, Dallin and Clark) and Maddie and I sat in front of Kurt Warner.
And Rachel your thumbnail is amazing.

ASU
After living in AZ for 22 years (yes I just figured that out this morning) I decided to I should pick a collegiate team to support.
I'm testing the water with the Sun Devils but much prefer the Wild Cat shirt that Maddie wears.
Go team
