Busy May

May was a ridiculously busy month for us. We had a recital, mother's day, 3 birthdays, a wedding and lots of school plays and shows going on. Here are some of the highlights:

Lucy had her very first dance recital. She and Kate were in the same dance class. They did a bumblebee dance and a teddy bear dance.



Jeff was a good sport and rode in the saddle at Texas Roadhouse for his birthday. It was a pretty funny sight. Sorry, I forgot to rotate the picture and I don't yet know how to edit.
It was Jeff's and Josh's birthday on the 12th. I checked Josh out of school and let him play the rest of the day. He said it was the best birthday ever.
We got to meet baby Jack for the first time. He and Sam were born on the same day. We decided that Jack was chubbier but Sam was taller. They are so cute and look a little bit alike.
Lucy and Kate are best friends. We are so glad the Holland's moved closer to us so they can play more. Here they are in their pretty dresses at the wedding.

Waiting outside the temple for Stacey and Chris to come out. Jacob's class had a talent show. Jake played the piano. He is really a really social and popular guy. His teacher said that the only thing he needs to work on is staying at his desk and working instead of wandering around the class and talking to all his buddies. Jake claims there are 5 girls who think he is cute. And finally Lucy's birthday. Our sweet girl is already 4 years old. She invited Kate over to have cake and ice cream and open presents. Without us knowing, she and Kate went downstairs and opened all the presents by themselves. Sneaky girls!

I'm with Jewels. I go through withdrawals after I leave. I love the pictures of our cute boys! I'm going to steal these because I'm sick about the fact that I don't have any of them together. If you have anymore, will you email them to me? I want to live closer so they can be best buds like Lucy and Kate. Thanks for the update. Keep posting cuz I miss everyone like crazy!

That was such a fun post. I tried to pick my favorite picture but they were all so cute. Kate and Lucy at the recital was adorable. Happy Birthday to everyone. I loved the picture of Jeff on the saddle. Meg can't stop talking about Lucy and how her favorite princess right now is Ariel. I am excited to move back down so they can play more.

remember how you cried because this post was so hard and not working! hahahahaha funny funny!

Wow! you did have a busy May! Those recital costumes were adorable. I think you should make it a tradition for Jeff to ride a bull every birthday. I thought you should know Gabi now thinks you are her visiting teacher instead of her baller teacher. When we see a picture of you she yells there's my visiting teacher, poor kid subjected to Relief Society at such a young age.

Jeff - Kenny is ticked off you didn't invite him to your birthday party. He says he could take you down on the mechanical horse. I think that's something I'd very much like to see some day.

Your Lucy is such a little doll - loved the bumblebee pics!

So cute to see all the pictures! I still can't get over Lucy and Kate going downstairs and opening all her persents before any of us got down there. So funny. I love my Grandkids!!! All are so cute!
