May Lately

We've had such beautiful weather this May we have tried to go outside as much as possible. It's been a pretty busy month, with regular activities finishing up and new summer activities lying ahead.

We got our garden put in a little at a time the week of Memorial Day and after. Last year we had a lot of success with many things, and other things didn't turn out so well, so we adjusted this year and we'll see what comes up! We like to get the kids involved in it as much as possible. Of course, Abi could care less, but Andrew, especially, loves to help Daddy with all the mowing, digging, and planting. He was out there all day for at least 3 different days. I think Leah just likes to have the wide open spaces to practice her dance moves.







They must be working hard on the corn seeds here. They did pretty well planting the seeds correctly as long as I showed them where they needed to go. I'm pretty sure they could tell you everything we're growing and where it is planted.






We had indoor activities too! Leah and Abigail and I were invited to a Tea Party Bridal Shower for a young lady in our small group at church whom Brett is marrying in July. Of course Leah is all about a tea party, so she was so excited! We got dressed up and Leah even tried some tea. She didn't really like it, but in her defense, I gave her a flavored tea and then we put milk and sugar in it which probably didn't need to go in.




Abi got a little antsy at the party but didn't get into too much trouble. She just got a little bored after 30 minutes of watching presents being opened!


One of my favorite things about spring at our house is the sunsets. They seem to fill the sky with colors you could never imagine even existed! We are surrounded by mountains on all side, so it's just a beautiful wonder of God's creation we get to enjoy!


One day I just took my camera outside when the kids were playing. So I call these shots "childhood unplugged."
