May Birthdays

                                         
On May 15th I turned 37! The numbers 3 and 7 have always been my lucky numbers, so I'm hoping for many great things this year. Greg spoiled me and made me chicken cordon bleu for dinner. 

I also got some really awesome gifts for my birthday.

I was a little worried about having a lame birthday cake because I am sworn off desserts this year, but Greg made me a sugar free pudding pie with strawberries. It was definitely a crowd pleaser! So delicious!

Emily turned 9 on May 17th. I can't believe she'll be in 4th grade next school year. She hardly even asked for any toys...mostly books and things to make crafts.

Usually our kids ask for chocolate cake for their birthdays, but Emily wanted angel food cake this year...just like her dad!

Every birthday is the best birthday ever to Emily. She is a fun girl!

She did it! Now we don't have anymore birthdays until September!

Spring Time

On April 29th we got our second shot for the Pfizer vaccine. 

It feels so good to be fully vaccinated!

The kids loved playing with this homemade rice table from the library. It entertained them for hours and was a huge mess to clean up!

Greg's pancakes are definitely a favorite around here!

I wanted to get a picture with Emily since we had matching dresses...but everyone ended up being in the picture!

Last Saturday we took our family to Birds of Prey. 

It was kind of cold and a little bit windy, but we still had fun!

Our four sweet kids: Caleb, Abby, Emily, and Leslie.

The birds were so beautiful up close.

We even saw a bald eagle! That was really cool!

This bird kept squawking while the lady was talking. It was pretty funny.

"Mom, take a picture!"

I'm so grateful Abby got to go to Preschool. She really loved her teacher and her class.

It was a great Mother's Day this year. The kids and Greg were very good to me. I am blessed.

One of my friends gave us their old Barbie dreamhouse. These girls LOVE it! It feels like Christmas around here!
