April & May Picture Dump

I didn't realize how far behind I'd gotten on the blog.  This will be a quick catch up post for April and May... we've been BUSY!

We go on quick bike rides a lot during the week and we go on longer ones almost every Sunday.  On one ride we discovered this super fun rope swing. 

These next few things are just misc. pics... 
Will comes to cuddle with us almost every morning and sometimes we find Owen in bed with us as well.  I love how cute kids look when they're fast asleep.
And have you ever seen an apple this big?!?  They're huge, organic, and delicious!
Lauren and her friend Hannah baking.  These were yummo cakes!

Will's birthday - 8 years old!!!

Lauren got to go on a Personal Progress Overnighter with the Young Women.  She was so excited, then really nervous about being away from home, but came home really excited again.  Good job overcoming your fears Lo!

Bradley's birthday - 14 years old!! 

I took Lauren (and Owen) to a Renaissance Fair since we studied that time period this year. Lauren LOVED it.

Will got baptized!!  It was a wonderful day. :)

And turning 8 years old means that Will also started scouts - he loves it!!

Lauren had a mother/daughter "fashion show" where we made outfits out of garbage bags.  Super fun.


Will's playing baseball with the Marlins.  Matt is the coach.  Will does NOT like baseball.

But he DOES like soccer... 

Owen's first year of T-ball:

Owen's spring soccer... continued from the fall league.  The last picture of the boys under the umbrella is on a day that started out gorgeous and then it ended up hailing!

Bradley has now joined the Davis high school hockey team and is playing in the summer practice league.  Can you believe he's going to be a Freshman?!?!

Will's class talent show... he demonstrated karate moves.

Bradley's baseball.  The picture of him hitting got him a double.  Their team is the worst in the league this year but he's still loves it.  He's also playing lacrosse (no pics of that)... and come to think of it, that team is the worst in their league as well.  At least they're all having fun. :)

I have been doing hours and hours of yard work.  We got some wood chips delivered and Matt helped me lay them down over Memorial day weekend... they look SOOO beautiful.  Below are some before and after pics.  Ahhh, I love working in the yard (sometimes). ;)
So, that's where I've been the past 6 weeks... we're all healthy, happy, and having fun. :)

  1. Hooray for a new post! I'm glad that you survived Spring, it was a doozy for you. How could you have possibly crammed any more things into your life? It looks like you had a lot of fun along the way too. Hooray for summer!

  2. wow you guys are always super busy. Such fun photos and info. I bet Lauren was in Heaven at the Renaissance festival. Congrats to all the birthday boys and especially to Will on his choice to be Baptized. That's great that your kids have the opportunity to participate in such a variety of activities. Your garden looks beautiful! We sure need some mulch!

  3. That is a lot of things to remember to comment on:)). I am the same as you, I LOVE!!! putting down new wood chips or compost because it makes the beds look so nice and tidy:). I am sorry that Willer hates baseball, it is funny to see that Bradley bats a lefty, Caleb is left handed but batted and threw right handed:). Love all of the pics and the sports/activity updates!
