Finishing up May

We can start with Abby because she kind of rules our life.  14 months old and has lots of teeth, including her molars.  She loves several things.  All the booster seats at Grandmas.  LOVES suckers...great bribery to keep her happy and quiet.  She still loves naps.  And she can sign Bath Bath Bath... and loves them!

My college roommate, Joni or Jones,  came to visit from the south.  It is so nice to be able to chat and visit and have it feel like its been no time at all since you were apart.  

Ella loves to have her nails done.  and so for a late birthday present and for her friend Eliana's birthday I took them to get their nails done.  It was so much fun!

Tyler is pretty great.  He still loves to play the paino.  He has excelled so much in the last 11 months of lessons.  Abby wants to be with him all the time.  He is a great student.  His Spanish is really good.  I am so proud of him.   

And then theirs our house.  We LOVE it!  We had family home evening out side on night.  It was one of the first times we had been able to sit and enjoy ourselves since we moved in.  With a Dad that worked like crazy for 4 months we are thrilled May is over.

Our neighbors have horses that we love.  I took the picture of the rainbow the other day after it had stopped raining.  beautiful!

The kitchen is kind of the central place in our lives.  We are always in our right around it.  The kids love to peek over the top.  Abby is always on the stool getting into something.  We had a family dinner here and we all had room (we had cake pops for dessert. YUM!)  We babysat Angs kitty for her for a few days.  Abby's first word was dog because of Angs dog, and she quickly learned kitty too!

We have great neighbors who are so fun to play with.

But the best news was that school was finishing up.  No more driving to Sandy all the time.  No more waking up Abby from naps.  We went to Scheels and rode the ferris wheel to celebrate!
