May Milestones

We hit some major milestones last month . . . Jamin graduated! (Well, he participated in the graduation ceremonies in anticipation of completing his dissertation in August). He also accepted a job at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC as a visiting professor. After 8 years in Boston, we are Carolina bound!

Eliza turned 6, lost her two front teeth, and is working on kicking her thumb sucking habit--and doing great!

Ashton decided on what to be when he grows up. The conversation went like this:
A: I wanna be Superman when I grow up, not like a dentist. Mom, can I be Superman when I grow up?
me: Hmm, he's pretend, so I don't think so.
A: (with thoughtful determination) I think I can.

Benjamin learned
to walk!

And Kate has been extraordinarily cute!

Memorial Day Excursion

We held a wonderful family reunion in Logan today! Sami and Chloe flew in from Phoenix, the Nelsons came down from American Falls, and the Closes, Hinckleys and Hansens came up from Salt Lake, all meeting in the Logan Cemetery at Scott's grave within 10 minutes of each other (thanks to Kathy's great organization). Rhett would have joined us but he missed his flight and did not arrive in Salt Lake until 6:00 p.m., but we are glad to have him here now!

Unplanned was the arrival of Karen and Verl O'Brien and their family - we met up with them at Grandad Hansen's grave!

A Belated Happy Mother's Day!

To all the women in our family who do so much mothering and loving to us Sisters in AZ and all of our brothers, a special thank you. We have so many amazing examples in our family of how we want to be when we grow up. :) Grammie has been such an incredible example for all of us to follow, and our wonderful aunts and cousins are so nurturing and loving too. Thank you all! xoxox Sami & Chloe Mae
