May Madness

May has always been a busy month for our family. Somehow we have managed to pack all sorts of stuff into May.

2nd of May: Samantha's 3rd birthday!

She was very excited to turn three and we celebrated on her birthday by going to McDonald's for lunch and she got a new princess bicycle. She couldn't quite peddle it but she was pretty excited that it came with a little carrier so she could ride with her stuffed animals.




5th of May: The Party!

 We had a party at the park for Sammi's birthday. Friends and family came. Everyone braved the wind and cold to celebrate. We ate some pizza and I made her a green cake. Her favorite color is green so we had a green cake, green monkey decorations that she picked out herself and green balloons. She got spoiled with presents and got to hand out party favors to her friends and cousins. It was a lot of fun.



7th of May: Our Anniversary!

Tim and I have been married for 6 years! Wow I can't believe how fast time flies by. We actually have been together for 9 years. Our anniversary of our first date was in May 2003 (See we have a lot in May!) In all that time so much has changed. Aubree has grown up into a young lady and we have added two sweethearts: Sammi and Maddi! I am grateful that I got to marry Tim and love him so much.







9th of May: The Airport

So it is here! After two years I took my brother and parents to the airport! They are on their way to pick up Nathan from his mission in Seoul, South Korea. I can't believe that in a little over a week they will be home and have my little brother with them. Since they have been gone they have video called us so we could see Nate. Today they fly to Japan for a week and then they are home. This picture is one a member in Nate's old ward took.



11th of May: Dinner

Well being a Mom means that eating without a child on your lap is a rare treat. That eating something other than McDonald's is gourmet. That being said I love being a Mom but it was nice to get to have an anniversary dinner with my husband, kid free. Thanks to Aunt Emily for watching the girls so we could eat in peace. This is a picture of Madeline and Emily's nephew, Summit, giving kisses while Emily was babysitting.




And it is only the 16th of May!  More to come...
