Hooray for warmer weather!! We packed up the mini van one afternoon after church and headed to Tony Grove to enjoy nature!
There was still quite a bit of snow in the shady spots! The kids thought that was awesome and we even had a little snowball fight.
I signed the kids up for free summer bowling in Logan for the summer months. You just had to pay for your shoe rental. Oh. My. Goodness. My kids are so dang emotional! Alexa and Luke were better sports than the other three! I managed to get pictures of Taylor & Rylee sulking away, and Caleb is getting better at accepting the fact that he isn't going to roll a perfect ball every time - but he was still trying to hold back tears.
I bought Mary Poppins on DVD and wanted to have a girls night with my sisters, mom and Eva. It wasn't a successful movie watching night....but I still enjoyed getting together. The 4 girls just weren't into the movie AT ALL.
Tennis lessons for the twinsies were a total success! They both really loved it. I'm excited to sign them up for next summer and see them get even better!
Caleb got a hair cut. I can't believe that 2018 was the summer of Lloyd Christmas. He wanted longer hair, but kept saying he wanted it trimmed up so it wasn't in his eyes and touching his ears. Well - this is what happened.
I took my little ladies for doughnuts, milk and pedicures early on summer morning. I think I found a new summer tradition!! They had the cutest toenails ever and they lasted for about 6 weeks!
River Heights has the coolest park in history. Everyone had a blast! We even got to take Laynee and Addison one day. I love those little ladies that I get to babysit. One is full of sweet and the other is full of sass and I love them both so much!
Boys and bugs. It's so dang cute if it's a lady bug.
We went swimming one afternoon. Caleb perfected a front flip off of the diving board and Luke would not stop going down the slide! Lex was happy as could be in her tube. And Taylor & Rylee ran into some friends from school and played with them the whole time.
Afterwards Lexi was worn right out! She kept nodding off and I asked her several times if she wanted to go lay down and she would just say, "But I'm not tired mom!"
Some days are just pure crazy at my house. Doing part time day care and having neighbors that come over a lot make it a zoo. One afternoon I was trying to get some laundry switched and we were trying to head out the door for something and Luke was just sobbing because he got hurt. I told him to go sit on his bed until it was time to go. He cried and cried an cried. When I finally got a second to inspect him, he had a giant goose egg and bruise. Mom fail. I'm so sorry baby boy!
I quit! After 4 years at Crystal Inn I couldn't do it anymore. I really love working outside the home part time, but it just isn't in the cards right now.
We were a little late planting pumpkins this year, but we finally got it started. I love Casey talking to the kids trying to teach them and how they really look like they are listening. Ha!
So. Much. Makeup. It's definitely one of this girls very favorite things.
I gave Luke a color by number picture one afternoon and he nailed it! I was seriously so surprised at how well he did! I guess I don't give my little people enough credit! And it is blueberries and oatmeal requested every single morning. He loves putting his blueberries in and puts each one in individually and then stirs it up. It's pretty dang cute.
These boys are still chasing that shiny....and Casey sent me a picture of this cute heart cactus!!
Mona wanted us to meet her in Mantua for a quick photo shoot one afternoon. Who doesn't love all of those red poppies! It's like a scene out of Wizard of Oz!
