Unheard of, unless you are heading out for disneyland with the senior class. You should of seen him pack. Very interesting. A few clothes and the rest essentials, junk food for four growing boys. Oh man!

See Pat smile. Happy, happy Pat.

On May 15th we got two Hatch Babies. One was Kord Renton Hatch and the second was a Dodge Magnum from Hatch Motor Company. Can you see the smile?

Katie's Month of May

Here are the roses she got for her 14th Birthday. It was a great day for her.


For her Birthday we mixed icecream and cake together and had and ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Oh man it was sooooo good. Wish you were here to share it.


Today was Kates Birthday. I bought a dozen long stem red roses and took them to school and gave them to her dad. Pat recruted five great guys, and two favorite teachers to hand her the roses and sing Happy Birthday! The plan was to do it in class but they had an assembly and so it was done in front of the whole student body. She was so happy and the guys were hot! Then the rest of the day everyone continued to wish her a Happy Birthday. She said it was the best day ever.

Katie getting a tan before sun splash. I really took the picture cuz she was reading a book. Thats a rare thing. She is more of a social butterfly than a book worm.

Katie tried out for H.S. Cheer and made it to varsity squad.

She was so happy!

New additions to the Family!

Kord Renton Hatch was born at 2:54 am May 15th.

We are so happy he is here!


They did it! Such great teamwork.

I dont know how they all come out looking
like little Hatchlings. Kim does the hard part and Ruben
gets the credit. I guess it really is a team effort. Congratulations
to you all. We love you.

Kenzie and Kayla loved to feel his soft hair. They would start with

Proud papa. His first son!

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Jones

We went to Lemuel's and Rachels reception in Payson. We got to meet Rachel for the first time, we loved her of course. She is a sweet and beautiful woman and we are so happy to have her in the family. I think she will be a great asset to the family and I know she is going to be great for Lem. For those of you who have not met her yet, I know you will love her she is the best. I am sure Lem agrees.

We wish them the best of Luck!

It is Time to Plant!

A Special Garden

Plant three rows of peas:
Peace of mind
Peace of heart
Peace of soul

Plant four rows of squash:
Squash gossip and negativity
Squash indifference
Squash grumbling
Squash selfishness

Plan four rows of lettuce:
Lettuce be faithful
Lettuce be kind
Lettuce be obedient
Lettuce really love one another

And of course we want turnips:
Turnip for God
Turnip for service
Turnip to help one another

No garden is complete without thyme:
Thyme for love
Thyme for hope
Thyme for joy

Water freely with patience and cultivate with love.
Remember you reap what you sow!

A Busy Month of May

Mission accomplished!

I went to the valley for a quick trip Friday and Saturday for a baby shower for Kimberli. It was lovely. I got to see the girls and play with them Friday afternoon, it was really fun. Kayla finally warmed up to me and Kenzie showed me her new jump roping skills. She is pretty amazing. Had a nice tour of Rubens home office. He is set up pretty nice and enough work to keep him really busy. The baby shower was lovely. Kimberli got some really cute baby boy clothes for Kord, and some other fun stuff.

I left right after the shower to come home for Cody’s prom date. His dad helped him a lot, it was neat to see the two of them work together for this wonderful experience. For their afternoon date they watched movies in Pats class room and finger painted. Then for the evening date they had dinner at the “Classiest place in town,” Mr. Owen’s class room. It was decorated with twinkle lights on the floor and the ceiling and large fake plants they borrowed from the church. (Without permission I might add.) They had fake candles and smelly candles and a big picture of the Eiffel tower projected on the wall and soft music playing in the background. They had fake walls of sheets hanging from the ceiling to cover the stacks of desks. It was really nice. Cody and Jake bought dishes to eat on along with Campaign glasses to go with their sparkling grape juice. They had a nice dinner with Mr. Owen, and Mr. Owens, and Pat dressed up in Sunday best to serve them. The food was in the next classroom over. Unbeknown st to the girls, Cody would send Pat a page on his cell phone when then were ready for the next course and the servers always arrived in perfect timing. The girls were very impressed. Then after dinner they went to the dance and danced every dance. I think they had a great time. Cody was sure pooped the next day. Both he and Jake looked really nice in their suites. We bought Cody his suite instead of renting a tux. I thought that was a great idea. He created that mom was going to help him out with his suite. What a great creator he was cuz I did and it felt really good. I spend more money on his prom date than he did but I didn’t mind; strange thing the law of attraction. He is really growing up. Today he showed me his class schedule for fall. Wow he is getting right to work. I am so proud of him. This is going to be a very busy month. May always is.

Our May Lineup!

We have Katies Birthday on the 18th, Kords due date is the 21st, Kenzie's birthday is on the 24th, Graduation on the 22nd and Amber's wedding on the 23rd. Delma Hansen is getting married in Utah on the same day as Amber. Lem's reception is on the 16th and of course Stark Trek is playing this coming Friday the 8th. We have a family date to see it twice on the same day with a dinner date in between. Wish you could all come. Cody is spending a three days in Disneyland with the senior class, and Kate and Pat get to go to sun splash with the Jr. High. Kate tried out for cheer. Still waiting to hear if she gets it. Life is marvelous, life is great I love summer and can't wait to be together in May.

Keep happy my lovely family.
