May Happenings!

Well a lot has happened this month already and it's not over yet but, Heather had her Softball Banquet and received Co- MVP and was very surprised. She hasn't really played organized girls softball before she has played boys baseball(little league) But had an awesome year and really enjoyed the team and coaches.
Heather also received the Outstanding 9Th grade math female. Another surprise .She also was on honor roll and received the Presidential award.(which is honor roll and scored above average on the Aims test. So she has been working hard all year and did a great job.
Sterling got released from the2nd Counselor in the Stake Pres. and put back in as 1st. Counselor.
On a sadder note our really good Friend Joey Mortensen passed away on the 15 th of May and we are really going to miss him. There are not enough words to describe Joey and the lives that he has touched. Some might know him as Trader Joe or Larry, but to my kids he was Uncle Joey and brother to Sterling. He was amazing and our hearts and prayers go out to the family . We love you all.
It's been an emotional couple of days with Mothers Day, Joey's Passing and Sterlings Birthday. I am so thankful for the Gospel and the Atonement in my life. For a very Great family and friends that are so giving and Christ like. I am truly blessed.
(oh and before I forget Thank you Cassi you are the greatest. I absolutely love it)
