Bathroom Remodel

After 8 months- our bathroom is 90% finished so I am going to count that as a success and post it on here :)  Jim basically tore everything out and did everything himself to put it back together.  He is one handy guy and helped me work on patience :)

Suspension Bridge

We went on a Sunday walk to a suspension bridge nearby.  We can in no way call it a hike because Lilly HATES hikes.  In every single picture she is in you can tell how much fun she was not having :)    She didn't seem to like the "walk" so maybe next time we will try calling it a "stroll".

5.20.18

Evidence #1- Lilly's face. 
 Lizzie was enjoying the hike. 
 Not sure what she was doing here. 

Evidence #2- still not smiling

Evidence #3- Lilly saying "Please can we go home yet?"

Jim and I plan on taking her on more hikes to "toughen" her up :)

Mother's Day

Mother's Day 2018

5.13.18

I had some pretty cute 10 years olds this year making sure I was taken care of.....

I want to post it so I remember :)

They made me breakfast in bed and helped me eat about 80% of it

Lilly made this for me about a week before Mother's Day. 
She was so excited to give it to me

Afton and Lilly worked together to give me a coupon book.  I thought this coupon was especially entertaining because I wondered who is paying for this shopping spree :)

Piano Palooza

We had a weekend filled with piano recitals.

  Afton and Lilly had their 

Monster Concert Friday night (May 11th) 

 And Ethan had his Saturday afternoon (May 12th)

Good job Ethan, Afton and Lilly!

Zoo Field Trip

I was able to go with Lilly and her 4th grade class on a field trip to Hogle Zoo.

Black and White

Each year the kids tolerate my request very well for them to wear a white shirt (Ethan) and my wedding luncheon dress (the girls)  The each have a book with black and white pictures that shows a glimpse of them every May since the year they were born.

Here is a little sampling of the kids each year in the month of May since the year they were born.
