May 16th was Darby & Sadie's end of year dance review. This year the review also featured a "Special Guest" performance from about 30 of the Mom's of Pizazz dancers (Brenda & myself included.) Sadie won the "Spark-Plug Award"
for the dancer in her age group with the most energy and enthusiasm. (Which was pretty awesome, because earlier in the week she had been diagnosed with mono. - Yes, the kissing disease.)Last weekend all 8 of us went to Arizona and had a fantastic fishing trip with Dave & Amy's family, Rich & Catherine's family and Papa Max. (But, like total lame sauce, I forgot my camera.) So, subsequently the only pictures I have are on my pathetic camera phone. Everyone in the family caught a fish or two (or ten.) We found a fabulous little fishing hole in Tonto creek and pulled out 32 fish on Friday between everyone there. We went back to the same spot on Saturday after getting only a couple of fish at the lake, and managed enough fish for a great fish fry Saturday night. It is so nice to spend time together as family. It is great to get to know each other better and let the kids have a chance to be kids!
Dave & Amy were great hosts and good sports for letting us all invade their home. Thanks guys!
This week begins the mass exodus for the kids visiting other families. Grant, Hayley & Zack leave Friday to go stay with their Mom and Next week Sadie will head to Salt Lake for a couple of weeks with her Dad. During the month of July, all of the kids will be gone at one time and Ryan & I will be empty nesters.

WOW, i love all the pictures and it was great having you all here, talking, and fishing, and eating...but I would be lying if I said it was nice to have an empty house again. Dave asked what I wanted to eat for Dinner the next day, and I was like, "nothing, I never want to think of food again." Anyways, it was really fun having your family here and I know my girls love spending time with their cousins. Have a great summer and enjoy all the free time to get to know each other more!!
