May was a busy month for all of us. Dylan and Rylee had alot of activities going on at school, Dylan started baseball and Kirk and I both were working alot at work and around the house.
So now it's summer vacation and I'm sure it will be a busy one. Next year will be a whole new adventure with Dylan starting in Junior High and Rylee starting Kindergarten.
May also brought us warmer weather and a lot of snow melt. We usually have a good amount of flooding in May but this year has been exceptional. The weather has been crazy, 80 one day and 40 the next with snow, wind or rain. All of this has caused the rivers to overflow more than normal and we have alot more to go! The mountains are still white with some having still 200 inches of snow on them. Northwestern Colorado has broken records in snowfall this year. This first picture is supposed to be a dirt road to get to the river for fishing...
This picture is of the Yampa River on the right and the flooding over is on the left half of the picture in a field. I wish I could have captured the whole scale but my cell phone camera is pretty limited in it's abilities.
Luckily I didn't have to work on Mothers Day and I got to spend the day with my family! We didn't do anything really exciting but just spending time with my kids was good enough for me. Later in the evening Kirk made dinner for me and we ate outside around a campfire.
Rylee graduated from Preschool. He was so excited and proud! The teachers held a small graduation ceremony. They were supposed to have a field trip to the park and have the ceremony there but it was raining. Here is Rylee getting his diploma...
Giving his teacher a good bye hug...
Next year he will be in Kindeegarden!
In the last week of school the kids had field day. They had stations put around the school feilds with different activities. This is Dylan and his friend Brennan doing the dress up relay race...
And hoola-hooping with alot of hoola hoops....
Tug of war....Dylan's side won this one!...

I'm sure we will get a day or two of snow in June but hopefully the weather will balance out a bit so we can get some camping in, get our yard in order a bit and just get out of the house more altogether.
