Memorial Day pictures

Here are some pictures from our Memorial Day festivities. I loved seeing Karlene's. I'm so glad she's around to document our lives.


The running pictures had to be on here too. We need proof that we did it! It was so fun and I hope we'll do it again next year. Karlene definitely had the best finish performance. Aubrey is missing from the big group picture...


Emma took this picture of me and Cole. She also got some great shots of random people crossing the finish line.

Decker Family

Hi from the Deckers,
It has been a wonderful month. It has been very busy with all good things. It was great to go to Emma's graduation. It's amazing how fast she is growing up. I can't believe she will be in kindergarten.
The boys are playing baseball now. It keeps us busy for the month of June. Aubrey's graduation was great! She really can't be graduated already can she? She wants to get a job as a CNA. She will be great at it. Memorial Day was so fun. Thanks to those that planned the swimming and the food. It was awesome. I loved the race. So what if we were almost last. We had a great time laughing at ourselves. Just wait until next time Karlene and I will beat you all. haha Cameron is doing great. He is in a town called Boca del Rio. He has two comp. and they are the zone leaders. He will learn quickly how things are to be done. We are always praying for our missionaries. We have a great family. Love you all, The Deckers

How come this month has seemed crazy but I can't figure out why?? Let's see....oh yeah, Emma had her preschool graduation. She was a "Valentine" and got to wear a really cute red dress. I think I might go crazy having her home all the time. She has to be entertained constantly. I'm so glad we have year round school. She starts Kindergarten July 20. She started tumbling again this month and she's so good at it. She's definitely a natural. The Memorial Day festivities were a lot of fun. I think it would be a fun tradition to keep doing every year. I love when our family gets together. I always look forward to seeing everybody. I'm glad we are such a close family.

I've been meaning to post for awhile now and I keep getting distracted. First of all I wanted to say that Cameron called my mom from the MTC on Wednesday to say that the soonest he would leave would be next Wednesday. But it's still up in the air. I think they'll just wait and see how the virus is progressing next week. This swine flu is stressing me out. A doctor in my old ward said it's blown out of proportion so I'm trying not to worry...

Hawaii was so much fun. It was so great to get away, just the two of us. We did a lot of fun things...North Shore, Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay, Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head hike, kayaking, and rode a Catamaran. The catamaran ride was actually the same day we left. It was amazing! Probably one of my favorite part's of the trip. We saw dolphins, snorkeled with big turtles, and saw a baby humpback whale. We would love to go back someday. The kids did alright at my mom's house. Everyone helped out and we are sooo grateful to them. To see pictures of our trip click here.

Since we've been back we're trying to get adjusted to real life. It's been pretty crazy and exhausting. The kids are outside all the time. Emma learned to ride her bike without training wheels this week. Mom taught her, dad was sad...I knew it would be easy since she has great balance. Casey's been out in the yard everyday. And Cole loves to shoot hoops in his basketball hoop. I've caught the running bug and now I'm training for a half marathon in August (Provo River) if anyone else wants to join me, let me know!

I graduated from cardiac rehab today. Now if I can just find the gumption to continue a home.
I feel good as far as the heart surgery is concerned but still weak in the legs as always and back
so I don't spend a lot time in the yard because I just give out. There is a 100 things to do out there
so I'm' not want for work. I relay need to find something fun to do once in a while that would lighten things up a bit. Does anyone know something fun an old codger could do? Or two old codgers like Bev and I could do that don't hurt. Bev and I went to a movie in Layton a week or so
ago and we learned not to pic a movie where there are stairs aver again, they have to be walk-ins.
I am enjoying all the blogs and pictures. Grandpa M.

This is Grandma Mann writing finally. Kayla I just read your blog and Cameron is really leaving
Monday. I didn't look at the date. Or was it last Monday. I worry about these boys, but we do
pray a lot. I went to the doctor yesterday to have him check my legs again and I am waiting to
hear from him to see if the infection is back. Last night(Thursday) I didn't feel well at all, had a
headache and I thought for sure I picked up the flu from the doctors office, but today I'm
feeling better. I think it might be allergies. Sorry to here about Austin. He is really being tested.
Well it's May already and it's still cold outside(most of the time) Reed did get a few flowers in
yesterday before the rain. Not only do we have trouble with this tree with the leaves and the
fuzzy balls, but now the birds fly on the deck to get to the cat food. I don't mind feeding them
but they like to leave their droppings (poo).And the other morning when I look out front, on
the lawn were about a dozen birds pecking for food. Our house seems to be in the path of
everything. Well enough complaing. I still feel soo bad about Buck. I would like to have a
good dog like he was. But I do get to dog-sit Sadie and she is a good dog. Well I will get this
posted before the day ends. Love you all so very very much. STAY WELL!!
