Snyder May Top 20




Great events that happened in May to our family, in no particular order....

20. Carson finished his Tuesday play time he's done all school year with his good friend, Brent Stevens.



19. Todd started glider lessons...again. Hopefully this time he will finish.



18. We got a 65" tv. Good BIG things come to those who wait.



17. Nikki and Sara started their first softball season, one as assistant coach, one as player. One is scared of the ball and always will be.



16. All Snyder boys attended and had fun at the ward father/son campout.



15. Nikki attended the first planning meeting for her 20 year high school reunion. Go Bobcats!



14. We all celebrated the last day of school. The kids have had great teachers...Thank you Miss Larkin (Sadie AM), Miss Purser (Sadie PM), Mrs. Mikesell (Sadie ESL), Mrs. Dutson (Sara), Mr. Torrey (Hayden) and Mr. Robins (Austin/ Science).



13. Nikki organized a neighborhood yard sale and bake sale/fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. We raised $176 to donate towards the Relay For Life team! Go neighbors!



12. Todd, Hayden, Sara and Sadie made the first trip of the year (and Sadie's first ever) to Ferron. She loved seeing Grandma and Grandpa Snyder, the 4 wheelers, Grandma's box of jewelry and Grandpa sharing his beef jerky for the ride home.



11. Carson became a standing pee-er. Ask any mother of a little boy, this is a big day....which most aren't too excited about.



10. Todd and the kids planted the garden. We are anxiously awaiting raddishes, peas, potatoes, carrots, brocolli, lettuce, pumpkins and corn-on-the-cob.



9. We all celebrated Grandpa Reeder's 75 birthday! They took the entire family to dinner at Sizzler, since they were homeless :)



8. Austin got his first 4.0 report card!



7. Austin turned 13 and celebrated with a few buddies eating pizza and watching old Batman movies.



6. Austin, Hayden and Sara played in their yearly piano recital. We enjoy listening to them practice each day.



5. Sara and Sadie participated in the Nibley princess pagaent and were escorted by Austin and Hayden.



4. Hayden ran in a rainy, cold, wet Wellsville mile. He finished in 7 min 30 seconds--not his best time but nobody was doing their best in the yucky weather.



3. Nikki's parents moved out of the home she grew up in. Packing it up after 43 years takes a lot of boxes! They've moved in with us, to my children's delight! They iron, cook, clean, pull weeds, pick up kids, do laundry, buy our favorite soda....we are all enjoying them!



2. Soccer season ended for the girls. Sara had teams recruiting her fall season already.



1. Hayden earned his All American Award after memorizing the Gettysburg Address, the names of all US presidents, the states and capitals, the Preamble, the Pledge of Allegiance, taking a 100 question history quiz, writing a biography of a famous American and more!
