Fun in May

Susie and Braden have had fun with sports this last month. Susie finished her first season of soccer and loved it! She's played softball for the last 2 years but I think she liked soccer better. 

This is Braden's first year trying out a sport. He is doing baseball and is having lots of fun with it. I think his favorite part is the caprisun and rice krispie treat they pass out after the games haha. He has a hard time getting the batting helmet over his ears without messing up his glasses and sometimes he walks from base to base but he's learning. 

We had fun visitors for Memorial Day, Grandma Suzy and Aunt Livy the birthday girl. We went to the Kaysville Cemetery and found our ancestors tombstone, Elias Adams. That was really neat. We had fun at the mall and hanging out at home. 

Other May happenings:

We've been to the park a few times enjoying the Spring weather (even though it has rained most of the month!) 

We've been sick a lot too. Braden had an sinus and ear infection and Clark had an ear infection the next week. 

I got to go on a fun kindergarten field trip with Braden to the Ogden nature center. 

We celebrated Mother's Day!

We have been grilling a lot more, too. Yum! 

We are excited for the summer! 

Easter Visitors

We had a wonderful Easter thanks to our fun visitors. I'm short on time so I'll just let the pictures do the talking. One tradition I didn't get a picture of is our picture collage of Christ. We love reading about Jesus and His last week in the scriptures and then putting up a picture each day before Easter. We also love watching the Ten Commandments around the Passover each year before Easter. Traditions are so fun and I love spending holidays with my kids and family.

Spring Break and Birthday

We kicked off Spring Break by putting the trampoline back up. Hurray! Unfortunately it rained for a few days after. But they have been jumping every dry minute possible. I love that trampoline! 

We played a little prank the night before April Fools. We drew eyeliner mustaches on the kids while they were asleep. Paul was rolling his eyes at my immaturity but he couldn't help laughing when we sneaked into the kids' rooms and drew on their little faces haha. It was even more fun in the morning when they woke up and noticed the mustaches on their siblings faces. We had some pre-birthday fun by packing a picnic and going fishing. We didn't catch anything but it was fun. 

I went to the temple with some friends on my birthday. Paul and I got to go on a date that night. He made cupcakes too.

We had a tea party and we invited some of friends. We served apple cider and macaroons, lemon squares, cupcakes, turkey wraps, and strawberries. All of the treats were gone in a few minutes. We played a few little tea party games, name that flower, tea tray memory and a few more. It was so fun!

Grandma Suzy came to watch conference with us. We made Belgian waffles and a hashbrown bake, both were delicious. Conference was so up lifting. While listening I felt so inspired to become a better disciple of the Savior. 

We went out for a late birthday dinner with my Aunts and cousins. 

And here's a cute picture of the two youngest. They are the cutest.
