New Arrival....Baby ????

Announcing the arrival of our new cousin ??????????. We are so glad he is here finally, safe, but without a name currently. My other sister TIffany and I along, with her baby, and the twins drove 2 1/2 hours to see him today, then ran around the hospital (luckily it is so small there are no visiting restrictions) had a hamburger and headed home, another 2 1/2 hours. It all went smooth and we had a lot of napping--but it was well worth the drive. He was 7 lbs. 13 oz. and both he and Mom are doing well, way to go Meg!

Piano Recital

Tonight we had our Spring Piano Recital, all of my students were able to participate and they did so great. We haven't had a recital for a while, but they are so worth it because it gets the kids used to performing and makes me feel like they have improved. I made them all bow or curtsy after they performed and that was the hardest, but most endearing part. My niece Hali (on the front row in the red and black) did especially awesome-Good Job, Hali!

Muddy Mess

Fun when you are in the moment, but walking home from the creek, two blocks, when the sun is down--not so fun. The only reason she is smiling is because our neigbor gave her a bag full of treats because she was crying as we walked past her house.

A month in review...

I've been a bad blogger lately, so I plugged in my camera to see what I have missed. Here is our month in a few words, and a lot a pictures.

Paige had a Cowboy/Cowgirl fashion show at preschool this month, she did some fancy turns, which ended in falls. She still looked very cute, but we might be signing up for dancing this Fall.







Lots of soccer games, Weston is finally catching on to a few things (like scoring goals is fun) and told us he is the fastest on his team. He is fun to watch, just ask the twins, they get fed a lot of food by all the parents on the team.


And..... this cute girl......




did this to her sheets,

this to her crib,



and ruined her clothes,
but we still love Bag Balm. Without it we would surely have crusty cheeks, red and overwiped noses, and sore bums.



P.S. My updates will be scarce for a while because I am doing some grading online for the month of May, which means before my kids wake up, during naps, and after they're in bed. I don't feel a clean house coming on. (or a nap...sad)
