Where did May go?

I had so much I wanted to get done this month...and with only 5 days left, I'm sure I won't get it all done, but I think I only need one more week! I made two dresses for Carolyn (The twins will each get one like it, but I just started today...) We finished basketball (and Seth got yet another trophy). We had a picnic to 'celebrate' afterwards. Seth proved that he will probably grow up to be smarter than all of us - and proved it again the next day by duplicating his success. (This puzzle is such a pain to put the 9 pieces together! I told him I'd try to help him later...so he just did it by himself in less time than it took me to even make an attempt!) Natalie has asked me to put more pigtails in her hair (ponytails on the side she calls them...makes more sense to me!) And we packed up so much...I was going to pack up these, but then thought I might need them around again before the house sells! And I finally finished the quilt I sta...

Conversation in the Van

So, here's a little conversation I had with Carolyn in the van. I nearly fell off the couch laughing trying to tell Jared and Kristen...you really need to hear Carolyn's tone of voice, but this will have to do: Carolyn: Mom, What would you do if you were a raindrop? (I'm thinking, 'um, fall to the ground and disappear'...not really getting the question) Beth: I don't know. What would you do? Carolyn: I would just sit in the cloud and relax. NOW, do you know what you would do? Beth: Probably fall to the ground. Carolyn: No, I think you would fall on a dump truck and slip right off. What exactly is she saying??!!

Past weekend

Chloe - my newest neice - she was blessed on Sunday (this was Saturday night) Grandma and Gramps came in town. Kaitlyn had to try on her glasses. Natalie had to check her ears. Friday night Seth went to his first sleepover at his friend's house. We brought his friend's little sister back home, and Carolyn had her first friend come sleepover. (I'm pretty sure we got the better end of the deal!) Seth has learned to give the twins piggyback rides. He's also learning other new tricks. (He wants to walk on his hands, but I'm thinking, maybe he should just consider break dancing instead?)

Last Saturday of April

Rob's sister came home for the weekend (between BYU semesters), so we went up to visit while she and her roommate were in SC. Here are some pictures: I finally took a family picture (actually, Chelsea, the roommate took it, but it was my idea). The twins got as wet and messy as they could Carolyn has a love for nature and gardening (I wish I was better at it to teach her). Seth aided the twins in their quest for mess. It was fun and we got the yearly flower garden planted...Rob of course, did most of the work.
