Graduation Weekend! Congrats Morgan and Kevin!!

We're in Pueblo again, enjoying family, food and tons of fun!

We enjoyed City Park one day, visiting and feeding the ducks.

check out Tanner's photo-bomber!

We don't see too many squirrels where we are in Utah, so the boys loved seeing this one climb the trees and steal bread from the ducks. There's Troy being his usual ornery self... I keep telling myself this stage will soon pass... I hope.

Tanner got to help Grandpa Kenny mow the lawn. He did a great job!

It's been so hot here!! I'm literally melting away, but the boys enjoyed getting the chance to run through the sprinklers for the first time this year!

Saturday afternoon was Kevin's Graduation from East High School. I was able to leave the kidlings with Grandpa Kenny and Grandma Judy while I attended the ceremony and snapped a few pics. 

I'm so proud of you Kev!

Lastly, my dad and I played our tennis tournament today. It. Was. So. HOT! Once my burn wears off, I should have a pretty sweet tan ;) We lost, but it was fun getting out and playing together. Just like the old tournament days! Our score: 6-2, 4-6, 2-6

Almost 10 years later and I'm still gangly, hunchie and proportionately awkward!

Toddler Hair

I'm getting more creative with this little gal's do! I'll be sure to keep you updated with what styles we're experimenting with!!

I promise I'm trying to use the camera more often...

I really have been trying to photograph these cute kids more often. We're a busy bunch these days. With both Adam and I working, the younger kidlings bouncing between sitters, Troy ending his first year of preschool, and the eldest finishing school and starting baseball... we feel that all we do is run, run, run! It's fun though, I like staying busy.

First things first, we've been in our new place about a month and a half and we love it. Each day we feel more and more at home. We love how we've decorated and have a blast findings something new for it all the time. The boys' room is coming more together. Once a couple more things are added I'll be sure to take pics and post them!

Ok, back to Tanner starting baseball.... He's a natural. A pro. A straight up stud! He really is pretty dang awesome. Adam and him practice all the time and he's really picked up the game quickly. The picture below was at his first practice. I wasn't able to watch much, because Penelope was a monster! It was a little chilly that day, but she didn't care. She was running all over the place and it finally got to the point where it was easier (on Mom) to let her run wild in the car, so we spent most of our time staying warm in there.

His second practice was rained out, but the third was perfection! Penelope and Troy watched from the stands. Troy wanted to so badly to get out there with the big kids. Penelope made a friend when she realized the "baby" that also came to practice brought a big blue ball. She kept yelling at him, "Tetch!" (aka "Catch!"). Tanner's first ball game is May 28th so stay tuned for that!!!

This little angel is kinda ornery. I know. You can't believe it, right?! Oh, you just wait...

Troy, Penelope and I were able to enjoy our first afternoon at the pond this year. Penelope LOVED the ducks! Troy got to feed them some bread and Penelope got to chase them around and laugh when they splashed in the water.

These two stood out to us the most that day. They were our favorite. The one on the left cracked Troy and I  up because it was having a bad hair day and we were excited to see a new duck had moved in since last time we visited!

Happy Friday To You! ....Wow, after publishing this and coming back to it, I realized that with all the "run, run, run" -ing we do, I don't even know what day of the week it is!!
Happy Saturday To You!!

p.s. Troy did not participate in his preschool graduation. I had to work, but Adam said it went swimmingly! Troy not only screamed, cried, and yelled when asked to sit in his assigned chair, but he also beat up anyone that came within an arms reach of him and then spent the rest of the ceremony under Adam's seat. I guess we'll try again next year :)

Happy Mommy's Day

I apologize for my voice!!
