Big start & finish!

     Mark turned 17 Sunday! He was happy with his card and cash (thanks G&G Baker).

    He also was happy with his 'old school' portable disc player, headphones and 80's classic rock cd's.
Even the dog was giving him extra birthday love!
    Then I captured this cute moment in primary. McClane thinks his primary teachers bald head is pretty cool.

    It was a big day for Carter as well. He's officially a deacon and an Aaronic priesthood holder. And before this Isaac was set apart as the Teacher's quorum 2nd counselor. (Lucky for Greg he just had to stand in the circle for that one.) Three out of five boys are priesthood 'men', only 2 more to go.
This was our selfie as we waited to meet with the Bishop.
     Then it was back to Mark and finishing up his big day with birthday cake and a visit from Marcus.
Believe it or not, the matching t-shirts weren't planned.
     Later in the week McClane had his 'end of school' kindergarten program. He wasn't too enthused but he was cute!

    Then we finished off the week with a fun neighborhood 'Cinco De Mayo' celebration. There was a piñata and an attempt at watching "The Three Amigos" on the out door movie screen but a lightening storm with a little rain cut it short. It was fun while it lasted!

The kids were in heaven.
There was more than enough candy for everyone thanks to our great neighbors.
Charlie was so excited to get a few good whacks in.
     So we started the week off big and ended it big. Tomorrow Greg gets to work on fixing our dilapidated fence and I get to clean up the 'after-shocks' from the Cinco De Mayo celebration. And if we're lucky and the weather cooperates we might be able to squeeze in a motorcycle ride sometime during the weekend.

I am just now looking at your last TWO Posts! Happy late Birthday to Mark and Carter! It looks like they had good ones. I am still so jealous of your backyard. Looks like your house is the hang out place in the neighborhood. Good times! Hope you got your motorcycle ride in. We need to skype maybe this week sometime.=)
