SUMMER SMORES

 CINCO DE MAYO

We had some friends over for dinner and pinata!

 Cindy and I went to a Home Free Concert at the Mesa Arts Center

We went to Calvin's classroom for Mother's Day.  They had prepared the tables with tablecloths, snacks, songs...it was SO SWEET!

Uncle Brady and Aunt Danielle came to visit :)! 

Amanda Vance took me to a Home Schooling Conference

MOTHER'S DAY!! 

 Lyle got me 1500 Ladybugs for Mother's Day!
We tried to release them atHouston Elementary, but couldn't get in so went to Elaine Guthrie's Son (Eric's) house and released them in his garden.

 This month we did 36 things to celebrate Travis' birthday!  We had lots of fun!

 We found our first Duck Eggs!

This was our last night seeing Elder Young (on the right)

Liked this quote at the Nicoll's house

Sweet Jordan holding Baby Lucy

We love going to the Temple! Calvin likes to take lots of pictures!

Calvin is growing up so fast and loves to do big boy things!  He wanted to make his own eggs and did a great job!

We watched the Morris' kids for a while and got to see their baby chicks :)

Carly helped me make vinyl stickers for Travis' birthday block.

Calvin's T-Ball Team

He finished off the season with a well earned Trophy!  Go Calvin!

We went to the fire station and got a grand tour!  It was a blast!!

Went to MaryAnn Arrington's to pick fruit off her trees!

Drove down her street afterwards to pass out the fruit we got :)

Our poor children haha...gotta love crazy parents :)!

This was at Calvin's Kindergarten Celebration!!

 < The sweet simple joys of life!  We gave Calvin some Swedish Fish and said something like "You are Officially the Best!  You did it Calvin!"
He was thrilled!  He wants to save it forever!
> One of our ducks died...so we buried it in the backyard.

Painted Barbara's nails before she went to Florida.

 The boys love touching the big red balls every time we go to Target!

Lyle was working at the Tryon's so we took him lunch.  It was really nice to spend a few minutes with him!

 We hosted a babysitting night so couples could go out on a date :)

 I took Calvin on a date!  We went to Ashley Hathcock's wedding reception then to Wal-Mart so Calvin could play in the game section.

 Jenn Crandall has the best ways to lead the music. She brought glow sticks for all the kids to help her lead.
> Thought I would record one of my few attempts to do something cool with my hair :)

We went over to Ann Marie's for ribs and brisket.  What a fun night it was!

Calvin sent a letter to Grandma Fort

Lyle and I went on a great date!  We went around town doing random fun little things ;)

 Calvin's last day of school we got to go in and Mrs. Moon had prepared some sweet celebrations!
She got Calvin some goggles and he was THRILLED!!!  She sure was a great teacher!

 After school was out we went over to Cindy's and went swimming then to Sub Zero.

We took the kids out early one morning and ate doughnuts at the park

 We had a car wash, and made a free otter pop shop stop.  Jordan was so sweet with Baby Lucy!  Lyle made a water-weinie.

 We caught out first snake in the backyard (the chickens had gotten it, and the boys ran out to rescue it).

More rooftop fun :)

The boys caught some baby birds.  There was a nest in the olive tree...and a baby bird fell out. They ended up being able to fly away.

Love my Family!
