Marvelous May!

HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY to me! Can't beat breakfast in bed and sleeping in on a Sunday morning! I am the luckiest mom and wife in the world.

My mom had the great idea of setting the pool up under the slide! The girls are having a blast playing on their "WATER SLIDE!"

Grandma took the girls to the park several times while we were in Kauai. She took pictures for me too. How thoughtful!

My friend Connie and her family came to visit us one evening. They came up to go through the Temple tour. The kids had a blast playing together.

We brought my dad and Leah with us after we flew in from Kauai. They spent a fun weekend with us. We are so glad that you guys came! And it was Leah's birthday!

We all hiked "the tallest mountain" as Dani calls the hills across the street from our house. Dani or "Dora" has her map in hand and her backpack on! She is quite the little hiker. She left us all in the dust!

My dad spotted a Horny toad and Dani was fascinated with it. She was all over holding it. Then she let it go so it could find its mommy.

We stopped at "Grandma Palmer's" house on the way home to see their animals. They had baby rabbits! Dani was in heaven. Adeline gave the girls some lettuce to feed the bunnies too.

Tara, Jarom, Lacie and Sam were here for the temple dedication.

Jarom decorated Emily's headband!

Dani had her Gymnastics performance. She did a great job! She got a little flustered when the girl in front of her lost her bow. She refused to do any more somersaults until her bow was retrieved! So she held the show up a little. Let's just say, she knows the importance of not loosing bows!

Each class in the performance had a theme of different countries. Dani's theme was USA so we decided to be patriotic to show our support.

I had the wonderful opportunity to play league volleyball with all of these fun chicks and Jenni Bryce. Let's just say...it doesn't matter how many games we won, only that we had fun and that we did!

Olives!

Play Group!

We had a couple of extra kids this day. Little Chad Palmer was surrounded by 8 little girls that day!

Abby loves when play group is at our house because she gets to play too.

We have had the greatest year doing this little play group! These little girls are all so sweet and for the most part they get along very well. 

Dani and Abby love chucking corn!

Emily's new favorite trick is to climb in to the toy drawer, throw every toy out of it and then cry and scream at me until I come get her out!

Who's ready to plant the garden?

So, the other day I walked in to find Abby and Emily playing with the hydrocordisone ointment. They were both rubbing it all over Abby and Emily already had it caked all up and down her arms and legs! So I got a towel and wiped Emmies limbs off then I stripped Abby down and put her in the bath tub. Meanwhile, I took Abby's clothes and the towel to throw it in the wash.

 When I came back I found this!

Little Emily pushed the stool over to the bath tub and climbed on in fully clothed! She is definitely the climber of the family! These little girls are so much fun together but they are becoming pretty mischievous!
