Playing "police" -- inspired by the movie Zootopia
N learned how to ride on a scooter!
Poor dog got stung twice by a wasp. You can see here her leg swelled to almost twice the size of the other. After a few doses of Benadryl, as instructed by the vet, her limp disappeared. Eventually she was all better. Poor girl.
M earned her black belt in Judo Math for subtraction...
And enjoys the smells of blossoms...
M now rides a 20" bike! She is so happy to be able to go very fast now. It literally took half the amount of time to get to school after switching to the new bike.
There weren't a whole lot of nice weather days in May, but when there was, we made sure to take advantage of it! This day we met friends at the park, where there happened to be a Shih Tzu puppy ALL the children at the park fell in love with.
N is looking forward to having K home more often during the summer. She is always thrilled to see her big sister and K is still convinced that N was the cutest baby in the whole world.

Learning new tricks on the swings. N graduated to big girl status -- bye bye baby swing!
N also learned how to "ride" her strider bike. Well, she learned how to walk with it under her. Goal for the summer -- actually riding. (;
We bought Daddy an early Father's Day present -- a popcorn machine. It is a great source of entertainment, along with popcorn.
Double Darth Vader at bedtime! (One of the few times D has let me take a picture of him this spring.)
Good weather sisterly giggles
I had a wonderful time attending Rebecca's bridal shower. It was so fun to spend time with friends from our old ward. They say kids grow up so fast and this was a terrific reminder of that for me!

Mother's Day mayhem.
I love my Mother's Day crafts, especially when they are given with love and enthusiasm!
Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner on Mother's Day. I'm so glad they live in the same town as we do. So are their grandchildren.
M got her GS cookie sale loot! She couldn't have been happier.
Friends invited us to play a life size Candyland game with them and it was a blast. I was very impressed with how well done it was.
M's best friend's little brother had his first play date at our house. He loved our rabbit and guinea pigs and playing with N. S told his mom he's going to marry N someday.
We loved going to the Cinco de Mayo activity our friend Belinda invited us to. K was too cool to dress up in the photo booth. (;
I love my calling as a member of the ward primary presidency, but boy, was it fun to help my husband substitute M's class one Sunday this spring.
Sisterly matching on Sundays. I get a kick out of seeing dresses I bought for K and M being worn by M and N.
Yard work! Once we had the house put back together and organized, it was time to attack the garden, plant new plants on the side yards, prune the roses, etc. Can I just say, I am so happy to only have to weed and mow for a while? These two little ones were such great helpers/supervisors while K and D chose to run off and play with neighbors instead. They are growing up so fast. I feel like I am already on the threshold of having teenagers with those two. (;
