Kenney got the call Saturday evening that the bees were ready and needed to be pick up by Wednesday. The only day he could go was Sunday, so after sacrament meeting he took off to pick them up. Everything went really well. The only time he got stung was right as he was getting in the car to head back from some other random bee. Now we just wait and see how things go! Fingers crossed!!
Moving the bees for the first time!!!
This is where Kenney picked up the bees. The guy has over 100 hives just out in an open field with nothing around. Crazy!
He put the hive near the canyon behind his parents house. We can't keep the bees at our house because they spray for in city limits mosquitoes which can kill bees.
Mackenzie trying to figure out who that guy in the white suit is.
The set up for now, until the hive grows, and yes it's strapped down because the wind can get really bad out here.
The bees making themselves comfortable going in and out of the front.
One week in the hive and the bees are busy
Lots and lots of bees!
Here is our beekeeper putting the bees into our hive for the first time. Everything when super smooth and they are thriving now!
The boys' favorite day of the year has come and gone. In the past, the track meet has been on the last day of school. Because of state testing, they changed the date this year. It was different doing it with way but just as much fun. The boys did amazingly well and had a blast! Kenney and I each took one girl and went from event to event trying not to miss anything. Of course we didn't make it to all 3 of the boys 6 events. The way it ended up, I saw a lot of more Kyler's events and had the camera with me, so there are a lot of pictures of him. For the most part, at least one of us was at every event!!
There was a lot of talk about the Keys Boys, but only time how competitive it will be in the future. For now, it has been fun and exciting to watch them!
Love these boys!!

Radley's best friend Ryker. They think they're cool because they have to same initials: RK.
Running the 40 and checking over his shoulder to make sure he was in the lead!!
He said he got 2nd in the obstacle course, but I'm pretty sure the 1st place didn't run it correctly. Oh well, he still did amazing!
Between baseball and school activities left and right, we have been on the go! There is something happening all the time! Here are a few of the in between events keeping us busy!
