May

May was a really good month. We started it off with a trip to Disneyland. This was Tate and Jacks first trip there and John and I hadn't been since we got engaged, so it was nice to be ther. We met up with our friends the Ofrecio's who used to be our next door neighbors. They now live in Washington, so it was nice that we could meet half way. They have two little boys (and have added a third since our trip) so Tate was sooo excited to have some friends to run around with. Tate was a pretty good sport to go on almost all of the rides. He liked Star Wars Star Tours and Pirates of Caribbean, but he did not like Space Mountain or Thunder Mountain. His favorite ride was the Buzz Lightyear ride and I think we went on that like six times. Marie's most exciting part was getting to see Oprah who just happened to be handing out an award on the day we got there. Too bad she didn't get to meet her. Marie also got to meet up with Sumerlyn Tanner, one of her mission companions. It was fun to see her and reminisce about old times. We spent three days at both the Magic Kingdom and CA Adventures, and by the third day we were all ready to go home - it was a most wonderful trip and we are already planning the next one.

Jason and Liberty flew in from Oregon for a week in May and Tate and Jack enjoyed getting to see them.

Last but not least, Jack had his first outing to Tempe Town Lake Water Park. I wasn't sure what he'd think of the chilly water, but he had a blast and giggled and splashed like crazy.
