Our Week

A brother in our ward knows how much we love flowers.  He brought over some of his lilies.  So kind!   My girls on a Sunday afternoon

Dentist on a Monday for Joy.  I actually took everyone – here they are watching TV.  Poor drugged Joy.

PT – sliding, jumping, and checking up on Alex

Cucumbers and potatoes and our peach!  The squirrels didn’t get this one!

Dancing to the Wii with Bella and Joy.  Becca helped as the teacher assistant at the district wide String Fling for all the 5th graders.  5th Grade Strings in now over for the year.  She has loved it and it has confirmed to her how much she loves to teach music.

Sammi begins her quilt – one square done, 23 to go!  She tried to do one a day this week.

Our adorable Didi.           A grammar game during school

Music Therapy

Joy took this mess and sorted it to this.  So proud of you Joy!

Various cuteness

Lizzy’s art work, a cicada emerging, and Joy and Bella dancing

Alex is still so squishy cute!   Joy being Joy    Bella making mat man – and speaking some of the parts!

We were given a ton of squash and zuchini  - I made three loaves of bread, cooked some, and am planning to freeze some.  It just keeps giving…   Isn’t this great?  Bella upstairs planning with the girls!?

Daddy and Alex

Working on our right side

Joy brought these home from school – so sweet

Cuddles and cuteness

One reason I love this man – when she won’t sleep, Daddy can get her down.  An Arabella first – a bath in the bathtub!

Fun hair for Becca, nothing better in the world than “j-oi-ce”, and activity days for Lizzy

Saturday – swim practice every day and then Saturday was time trials.  I have no pictures of Lizzy swimming because I was timing or scribing the whole time.  But she had fun and that is what is important!        Jason and Becca went to see The Avengers with TFME.  They had a great time!

In the afternoon we drove up to the farm.  The puppies are so cute!!

Mother’s Day. This is the first Mother’s Day in a long time that I haven’t been at the hospital with Bella. What a blessing to be home surrounded by the people who made me a mother. I am so blessed!

My men in ties!                                                       Alex smiling – doesn’t it melt your heart?
