It has been a little warm and humid.  We have busted out our water fun!  

Michael bought this slip and slide while I was gone.  The kids seem to be enjoying it!

We got our first blow out on the interstate.  It was a little scarey.  Leah was crying.  Evan thought it was fun.   

Luckily the LBJ interstate service truck came up not long after we pulled over to help.  It was so nice!  

I got to do a little hiking with a friend.  

We saw some great sites.

We squeezed in some tight spaces.  We had a great time.

The kids had fun practicing soccer since the fields were too wet to practice on after a rain storm.

They got out the cones and everything.  It is fun to watch them get along and play.

Happy Mother's Day

Michael and I have great Mothers and Grandmothers.  We are grateful for all that they have done for us and continue to do for us.

We are blessed that we get to learn from the best and that our Mothers are so amazing!  We love and miss them and can't wait until we get to see them again, hopefully soon!  :)

Dallin did his school project on George Washington Carver.  We had make a replica of him out of water bottle.  Dallin learned a lot more about farming peanuts.

We also did more soccer this weekend as usual.

It is tough waiting around for his siblings to be done with soccer.  lol

End of April Fun

I went out to ice cream with Dallin and he was talking about a book he was reading called Lawn Boy.  He said he wanted to mow the law.  I told Michael and they loved it. 

I am sure the fun won't last, but we'll take advantage while it does.

Leah wanted a turn as well.

We took the boys to a Rough Rider game.  

We got there early to stock up on the all you can eat hot dogs.

The boys got to stay up way past their bed time.  They loved it!

We aren't great with selfies.

We had awesome seats.  Dallin was disappointed that he didn't catch a foul ball.  Several foul balls went up and over our heads.

It was dog night at the park, so we got to see dogs performing tricks.  The boys loved it!

Evan and Leah got some fun in too.  Aunt Jenny and Uncle Tony took them for the night.  Leah has been chatting non stop about how much fun she had.  

Running and fishing

Evan got to go fishing with the Cruz family. He had a great time. The rest if us went to soccer.

We also got to watch the Clark boys. My kids love playing with their cousins. As you can see Michael took the hard job of taking a nap with Peter.

The boys had their fun run at school this week. They did great. They each ran close to 50 laps.

All about Michael

Michael had his painting class this weekend.  He really enjoys spending time with people and teaching them how to paint.  

Michael went to Arizona this week, and this was his rental car.  

It looks like a rough life away on the road for him.  ;)  He sent me this picture after I had a rough day.  I was a little jealous.  ha ha

Michael brought back a hair bow for Leah that Aunt Nicole made.  She loves it!  The rest of our week was filled with school, soccer, and board games.  :)

Building our Garden and Sleeping under the Stars

The kids helped us build a little raised garden bed.

They actually really enjoyed it.

Evan even got in on the action and wouldn't let me help him much with the tire.

We planted a few seeds.

The kids really loved planting and watering the garden. I am hoping we actually get a little harvest.  Joshua's class at school has their own green house and they got  a whole salad out of the garden that they grew.  I am hoping we'll get something to eat.  :)

The kids have been begging to sleep on the trampoline.

We finally did it on Friday night.

They were tired on Saturday, but had a great time.  

Spring Sports and Conference

Jenny, Nora, and I raced yesterday.  Evan did the kids race.  He was so excited about it.  It was exciting because we all placed in the race.  It doesn't happen often.  :)  

Our first soccer game was on Saturday.  Joshua and Dallin scored lots of goals.  Leah had fun. I left early for the race, so Leah wasn't awake yet.  She didn't get her hair done.  Michael gets nervous doing hair.  ha ha   Michael is coaching both teams again.  He has a good mix of players on both teams.  It should be a good season.

We have our church's General Conference this weekend.  We get to listen to our Prophet and Aspostles.  Michael and Leah are listening while playing chess.  :)

We also got yummy cinnamon rolls this morning.
