More May!

Amelia turned 14!  She likes writing stories so she decorated her cake as a book that she is working on.
Busy at the temple and still wearing masks.  We stepped out the front door one evening after everyone else had left.
A talented photographer in another ward posted these pictures of the temple and said we could share them.   So beautiful at night!
Got to see several performances online including:
Penny's Variety Show
Sarah's 8th Grade Band

Camille's 5th grade band
She is wearing black tennis shoes with white laces in the middle of the picture:
Peter's band concert.  Among other things he played the cymbals and the gong.
Elizabeth's 10-12th grade band concert.  Flute and she's in the second row wearing a green dress, kind of blocked by the conductor.  (How dare he block my granddaughter!)
Katie performed in this show. It was fun to watch some videos they sent!
(But I got the song "Put on a Happy Face" stuck in my head!)
Memorial Day Sunday at the Melanchuks in Chico!
Daniel gave a great talk in Sacrament meeting--his first time!
We had a great schedule for our day as you can see below:
Darryl smoked some ribs and chicken for us!
Nathaniel likes his buddy, Grandpa.
Grandpa taught him how to play Nonograms...
...and then the rest of the family wanted to learn too!
Place cards for dinner:
Perrys arrived!
It was fun figuring out where to sit!
The cousins had a lot of fun together!
They even went across the street to truck scale to see if they could get their weight.
The kids do the dishes on Sundays in this home.
A good-bye pose for Grandma!
Kathryn likes to made fudge into different shapes
This was our dessert: A Liahona!

This and That in May!

Gold cord and Governor's Scholar!
We spoke in the Folsom Stake Conference and got this nice note.
Had a very happy Mother's Day!
Yummy fresh strawberry pie
And the best present of a family Zoom!
Actually harvested some peas and got some sweet pea blooms!
Had a Melanchuk/Perry in-person get together!
Watched Jacob and Lily while the rest of the family was at the temple.
They spent the whole time on the hoverboards...
...Even ate their treat on them...
...and made a fun obstacle course!

Croaker!

We surely enjoyed watching the live stream of Hannah's virtual school musical:
She was Lady Carmella
Here are some screenshots from the play!
Curtain Call!
