My Crazy Crew

For Mother's Day I had a few small requests. 1. A few hours alone in a coffee shop. 2. Get to church on time. 3. Do something active (family hike, go to the gym etc.). I also requested to have the house clean but wouldn't be too upset if it wasn't spotless. 

I got all those requests by 1:00.  The house was even (mostly) cleaned up.  

And my last request for the day was a picture with my crazy crew. 

I love all of them so much and I'm so thankful I get to be their mom (and wife). 

 

May birthdays

We celebrated Mother's Day and a few May birthdays at the same time. It was a good excuse to have some cake and ice cream. Here is a very dark picture of the grandkids and Grammy & Fafa. 

A Big Doll House

We went to the Run to Win Auction a few weeks ago and ended up with a doll house for Darby. It's just a tad bit bigger than her, and her brothers and me.  I think Brad is about the same height. 

This doll house came fully furnished and is absolutely adorable.  

Darby loves it! 

Big Beautiful Planet

Ollie had his 1st grade concert the other night. The theme was Big Beautiful Planet. This was the same theme for Brody & Colt.  This means everytime Ollie starts singing his songs we all can sing along.  We have heard them a time or two. 

Ollie was great and even had a speaking role.  

On Tuesday

Sometimes, out of the blue, my kids will say something like this. 

Yes, Bo, maybe on Tuesday.  

Luther Burbank Park

We had a day with no forecast of rain so I took Darby and Bo and our friend Tucker to Luther Burbank Park. We also met up with my friend Karen and her little boy. 

They played on the playground for awhile then we ventured down to the water.  There wasn't much of a beach but that didn't stop their creative playing of pirates and rock skipping. 

 

Muddy Brothers

The boys had muddy soccer games last weekend. Brody had lots of fun slide tackling whenever it was possible. Colt didn't have a baseball game that morning.
