Memorial Day weekend was so fun this year! We had the Gabrielsens stay with us one night and the Duckworths stay with us two nights! It really is nice to have a husband who runs a cleaning business!!
Abby and Danny had fun playing together.
Cousins: Emily, Alice, Leslie, and Charlie
On Saturday we drove up to Tamarack and went on a fun hike with Joel's family and the Gabrielsens.
It was really beautiful!
Crazy cousins!
The kids loved being in nature: me, Leslie, Caroline, and Emily.
Savannah, Leslie, and me.
Here we are by the ski lifts.
Everyone told me to put a football in my shirt so I'd look pregnant. Ha ha, I'm not!!
The beautiful scenery
We even found some snow!
The gang
We know how to have a good time!

May is birthday month around here. My birthday is on the 15th and Emily's is on the 17th. I can't believe I am 33 and have 3 children...that's A LOT of 3's in my life!
Emily had been talking about her birthday for months, so we tried really hard not to disappoint her! Turning 5 is a big deal!
2 sisters = 2 friends!
Ready to blow out the candles!
It's official now! We have a 5-year-old!
Maybe we overdid it with the gifts this year...
I think we did a good job with the gifts because the girls played and played for days with the toys!
On Saturday, May 20, we met up at the park with my parents and my brother Joel's family. We ate cake and ice cream. The kids had fun playing on the playground while the women visited.
The men played some pretty intense football!
Abby continues to be really cute and brighten my day!
She crawls all over the place and is starting to pull herself up. Her new favorite thing are necklaces, as you can see in this picture.
Leslie is at the stage where she is ALWAYS hungry, but it is hard to say no to this face!
On Thursday, May 25, Emily graduated from Preschool. Her teacher, Miss Laura, brought Emily a lot of happiness this year!
Our little Emily is growing up!
We sure love having three little girls!
On Saturday, April 29 we took a day trip to Twin Falls. Since my sister Bethany's family was meeting up with us, our kids were pretty excited. Emily had her clothes all set out ready to go.
We met up at Shoshone Falls first. With all of the rain and snow we've gotten this year, it did not disappoint!
We all got SO WET!!
The gang
There was even a rainbow, making it all the more magical!
We headed over to Centennial Waterfront Park for lunch.
The weather was perfect and we all had a great time!
Walking around the park.
We found a bridge!
A beautiful waterfall
You can see Perrine Bridge behind us. Twin Falls is SO PRETTY!
Then we headed over to the Herrett Center for Arts and Science at the College of Southern Idaho. It was a lot cooler than we expected!
Greg especially loved the telescope and asked a million questions about everything.
We saw a cool sun clock on our way out and then drove to see the temple.
"I love to see the temple."
It looked a lot different than when we saw it last at Derek and Clara's wedding...when the ground was covered in snow!
The fountains
Alice and Emily
Grace, Leslie, Alice, and Emily.
My other half
Paul, Bethany, Haley, and Greg
Before we left, we stopped to look at the Twin Falls, not as impressive as the Shoshone Falls, but still cool!
Turns out Twin Falls is a lot cooler than I expected!
