Four Jingle Bells

William and I enjoying life.   Brooke was choosing a prize at Target one day and she had a hard time choosing between all of these!  She's so funny. We had to get out of the house when it kept snowing so we got ice cream. It was probably 20 degrees and it was so fun. May Day is the most adorable Midwest holiday.  People leave little treats on each other's doorsteps.  Even if it rains, they are still out dropping treats off.  It was fun to come home to little treats on our doorstep. It was Wacky Day at the kid's school.  Hailey went all out. Spencer is obviously really crazy because he wore mismatching socks. We found this Barbie house for $30 at a garage sale.  Score!  It has gotten a lot of use.  Spencer and Blake hanging out.  Spencer playing air guitar Hailey taught herself to roller skate.  She is quite the pro! William digging in the dirt just like all little boys should do! Playi...

Gorgeous!! My beautiful Mother's Day flowers.  The ones in the back are from Blake and the kids. I love Easter lilies.  Blake always gets them for me.  Great husband.  The ones in the front are from Deb, my dear friend whose kids I tutored in Las Vegas.  She sends me flowers randomly and it always makes me so happy. Blake cooking with my cute umbrella in the rain.  A real man isn't afraid to use his wive's flowery umbrella. Spencer made me this tile for Mother's Day.  It has a tree and sun and I love it and love him even more! William is a diaper wearing train hoarder! Made some muffins for snack one day and William enjoyed one when he woke up.  It was a fun and rainy day outside and a perfect day to be outside. We went to this park with a pond and the kids loved it! We found a few dead fish on the banks which led to a few biology conversations.  They are so eager to learn! These two are best buds. T...

 Spencer came up to me one morning and said he had found the biggest chocolate bar ever! I had no idea what he was talking about until I saw this.  Little sneak!  William's smile is my favorite.  These two have created a pretty great friendship with the others at school.  They looked cute sitting here together. I love their little shoulders.  Beautiful sunset again!  While we were watching conference, Hailey and I made these headbands out of old t-shirts!  Pillow fight fun.  Lucky that Blake grew up with four brothers.  The girls wanted me to take a picture of them like this.  Brooke is quite the character!  This nasty bug was in our house! I was very brave and squished it but oh my heck, things with long stringy tentacles make me feel ill!  Blake cleaned out the gutters and fake ate the nasty leaves. The kids thought he was hilarious.  William helping me cook eggs.  I was a...
