I think Cody and Steve look like Rocky and Apollo Creed, except they share the love of food and not boxing
Steve, Katie, Cody and I share an intense love of indian food so we chose to have our "last supper" together at The Oven before they moved to Kentucky last week. It's been fun to live close to them for these 5 years and become great friends. We are really going to miss them! 
Cody would be offended if I didn't display THE FOOD!
Maleah did a great job in chorus this year. It has been fun to listen to her sing her songs around the house. She has a very pretty voice.
It has been fun to watch Maleah improve playing the violin this year. She has done a very good job. Here she is in action.Rylan does this silly mix of crawling and walking. I think it's a genetic flaw because I think it was something that I did when I was his age.
Here's another cute picture of what Rylan does when you pull out a camera. He thinks he's pretty hot stuff and so he should . . . . we think he's pretty hot stuff too!
Rylan is usually pretty good at putting himself to sleep but it's not always without a pretty decent mess. Cody went in to check on him before we went to bed one night and this is what he found. These were baskets full of Rylan's socks and onesies.
I love to run the Mayor's Run with the kids every year. It's a 1-mile run around the capital building. Cody is usually not available to go with us (I'm starting to think that he schedules himself on purpose!!) but we have a great time. Here we are just before we left the house.
These are some of the kids from our school that ran. The lady to the right is Mrs. Brandt the wellness teacher.
Here we are at the starting line for our first time through the race. We were about to run with Maleah's age group. 
This was after our second time through the race. Between Maleah's and Jessica's age-groups I added a couple more kids to my team. Abbie and Eliza joined us because Steve had to work for a couple hours and Katie was out of town. So I did round two with six kids in tow. It went quite well. We were proud of ourselves, especially Abbie because it was her first race!!
After almost a year of having our house on the market we finally sold it!!!!! Here are the kids celebrating that they don't have to keep their rooms clean "in case someone wants to see the house." Little do they know I'll find another excuse to motivate them (I hope!) We are really excited to be moving, though. We are in the process of getting finalized on a new (new to us, not NEW) home. Cody said I can't give any details because it will jinx (sp?) us and everything will fall through. SO, more news to come on that!
The beginning of May we had a multi-cultural night at the church. We represented "team Brazil" along with many other families in our ward. Here we are in our brazilian uniforms. You need to notice Rylan's face in this picture. This is what he does when he's in front of a camera. Quite the CHEESE! The other little guy isn't ours, but we would claim him, he's adorable. Ryan decided he needed to be in the family photo.
Just a cute face!
