May Recap

Continuing the month by month recap, May was another month that flew by but got us really excited for the summer. My sister and her family came from Africa for the summer we had Mother's Day, preschool graduation, and Memorial Day (I will do a separate post on that weekend next). Enjoy the pics!

Yes, we gave in and bought a trampoline! For the first month the girls were constantly on it and now that it is hot, they only get on if the sprinkler is under it!

We spent a lot of time at the park and let Ryan experience the sand and toys for the first time! That kid is crazy and has NO fear. He will climb to the very top and pretty much fall down the slide and do it over and over. Boys are so different then girls! Lydia will barley go on the slide now!

 Mothers Day Weekend

Abigale's preschool did a cute mother and muffins party. They had pictures of all their moms and sang cute songs. They also filled out a questionnaire about us which was quite hilarious and gave us a key chain with their picture in it.

We spent some time at the park playing basketball. Have I mentioned that this boy is obsessed with balls?

I got to spend Mothers Day rocking this sweet boy to sleep! One of my favorite moments of mothers day!

 When my sister got here from Africa, she pretty much dropped off her oldest three kids with my parents and flew to Seattle to find a house. Luckily they flew into Salt Lake so they got to spend the weekend with us. They were pretty jet lagged so we did our best to keep them awake and in the sun during the day and keep them asleep at night. We spent a lot of time at the park! Another bonus of having my parents staying with us for the weekend was that Jonathan and I got to go on a date. We were looking up movies and saw that there was a drive in close by so we went to The Avengers and it was so much fun! We only saw the first movie because we still had to go to the store to buy food for mothers day and it was already almost midnight when it ended but it was awesome!

Mothers day picnic!

Love my kids!

We took the kids to Classic Fun Center which has a lot of bounce houses and roller skating. You can tell that Ben is still fighting the jet lag!

Abigale started learning to ride her bike without training wheels. I don't think she was really ready but I accidentally ran over one of her training wheels and it broke so she didn't really have a choice. It was a little rough at first but she is doing great now!

Love this picture! They have the cutest relationship!

 Preschool Graduation

Abigale had a great year at preschool. I wouldn't say she was challenged academically but she had a lot of fun and it was good for her socially. At the end of the year they had a parent teacher conference and her teacher said that she was quiet in class but it was just because she always wanted to follow the rules. She also said that she was very smart and the type of girl that would be a presidential scholar in high school! So nice to hear good things from teachers even if it is just preschool!

Love this girl!

Abigale and Mrs Sonya

Abigale with her two friends that we carpooled with everyday, Serena and Ashlie. Driving them to and from school was pretty entertaining!

We didn't have any serious sickness this month but Lydia did get a major owie! We were in Kohls shopping and Lydia and Abigale were chasing each other and Lydia tripped and slammed her head on the bottom of the clothes rack. It made the worst sound and I was so scared to pick her up. I thought for sure she cracked her head open but it was just a big bump. They gave us some ice immediately which helped a lot with the swelling and by the next morning it was almost gone thank goodness!

We had a fun family night at the Real Soccer game. The kids really only cared about the food but it was still fun.

This big boy moved into a new car seat! It was actually a little rough at first because he could see me and wanted me to hold him and he couldn't see his sisters in the back any more who usually entertain him.. Now he is use to it and doing great!
