May 2012 Part 1

This month has been quite the busy one, and here we are only halfway through it. The boys finished up their baseball seasons, (two games twice a week), Chase had his end of the year kindergarten program, the kids all had a lot of field trips with their classes at school, Taylor participated in the Talent show at her school, which consisted of two performances and two rehearsals, Cort completed his first Olympic tri, in 2 hours and 44 minutes, (I swear there's NOTHING that guy can't do), Mother's Day came and went, what a great day that was, I sure am blessed with some great kids and one great guy, Cort took the boys on the father and sons campout, while me and Taylor got together with some friends that same night for some girl fun, And now I'm down to my one week appointments for this little one (so exciting!), 4 weeks to go til my due date. We are looking forward to the rest of May and all the fun it will bring as well. Maybe a new baby?? I doubt it. I never go early, but there's nothing wrong with hoping that maybe this time I will, right? :)

Chase's teacher told the kids to dress in their Sunday best for the program. This is what Chase chose to wear for it. He picked it out all by himself. So handsome.

Cort's out there somewhere getting ready to start his swim for his first tri. I think he's found a new hobby

 

Taylor was quite the crowd pleaser at her school's Talent Show. So proud of her. Doing the talent show was all her idea. Love her confidence!

Cort and the boys right before heading out for the campout. Don't let Talan fool you in this picture. He was probably the most excited one to go, but not having a nap, after getting up at 6am and then not getting to sit where you want to in the car on the drive up, would be a disappointment to anyone.

 Me and Tay on our girl's night. Love spending time with this little one. We went with some friends and saw the movie Big Miracle, (great show) and then went out to dinner. And then I fell asleep by 9:30 that night. I'm such a party animal these days!

Talan's last T-ball game under the lights

Mother's Day 2012. At the end of Sacrament that day Chase leaned over to me and said, "How was I today Mom?" Meaning in sacrament meeting. I told him you did so good. You were awesome! Then he said, "that was my gift to you!" Best gift ever! I love these kids so much!

Our little Avery. At my last appointment my doctor wanted to do a ultrasound. So fun to be able to see her so far long in my pregnancy. Can't wait to meet her in person.

Still a girl! :)

Here's a few more highlights from the past couple of weeks of May

Taylor and her rain forest sock puppet that we got to make of the "Cock of the Rock" bird.

Lots of mornings spent playing at our new favorite park "the dinosaur park". Talan always makes sure we all have weapons to play with while we are there. So grateful I get to spend my mornings and days with these two. Always a good time with them!

Bring on the rest of May, the end of school, and SUMMER! We are sooooo ready for you!
