May = school out, mayhem, outdoors, and Mother's Day

My husband knows me so well and suggested after coming home and seeing me little stressed about life, that we venture down to the nearby campground and take some photos. He knows how it relaxes me and makes me feel human again! 

This has become Julia's new smile...insert shaking of head here!


Anthony is such a good dad and always takes time to explain things to all the kids. 

He also takes them on all kind of adventures! The kids love it! 


Matthew has definitely developed a wacky sense of humor this year. He'll do about anything to get a laugh and usually has all of us in laughing in no time!

Peter with his marching stick!

Andrew's model prose! 
Not really...I'm just not sure what he was doing at this moment!

We then went up for a drive near the temple! Always a peaceful view!

Julia and her awesome smile!
The last day of school this happened! Matthew found a small hole in one of the bean bag chairs. He commenced to make it bigger and then dumped the contents on the floor. When we discovered the mess, all four kids were rolling in it and had then clinging all over the clothes. The kids then preceded to run through the house, dropping them everywhere! Was not one of my finer mommy moments!


 Anthony sent pictures to his family and the video and one sister-in-law commented on how well we handled it and that we didn't even yell. I quickly corrected her and let her know that there was yelling! It took a solid hour to clean up all the balls. We had to suck them up with the hose and then dump into a garbage sack. But they was so much static that the ones in the sack would cling to the ones being poured out. We finally crunched up tin foil and put it in the bag and it helped. Anthony got the shop vac that we had just recently invested in and tried sucking some up but forgot to do a step and so it shredded the balls and plastered them on the wall behind him! It was awesome!! We can laugh now and were in a couple of days! What a way to start summer!



Loves being a little monkey!


This was our memorial day project! We built a firepit!! 
It has been the best thing ever! It took all day because we were making it up as we went! Our first marshmallow roast was a success. 


In primary, the leaders had the kids fill these out about their moms. This one is Matthew's! 
I love the 3rd, 4th, and last question!!
