May's Little Things


Here are the little things from the month of May.
As I look at these pictures they aren't anything exciting, but they are the things that happen on a day to day basis and are the things that I will want to remember 20 years from now. 


Enjoying a picnic in Willow Park one Friday while
 doing preschool errands in Logan. 

Walking around the little zoo at the park. 


Khloe loves the cat, too bad the cat doesn't feel the same way:) 




Bath time fun!!!

Enjoying a little Zumba in the park. 


One Wednesday night the activity for mutual was shooting.
Kyler was super excited, that is until he fell in the ditch. 



One of our favorite stops while running errands in Logan,
The Booktable. 


Watching cousin Annie at her preschool graduation. 
These two are becoming the best of buds. 


This little face melts my heart!!! 




We finished up the soccer season with cold weather and a fun cheering section. 



I think the thing I'm going to remember most about this May is the CRAZY weather and amount of rain we received. 











Kyler put all that rain to good use. 





Kyler learned the hard way what happens when you touch a hot stove. I had just gotten done cooking some chicken and had slid the pan to the back of the stove. As I walked out of the room I told Kyler NOT to touch the stove because it was hot. 
A second later when I walked back in the room he was crying hysterically. He said he had lost his balance and "accidentally" fell and touched the stove. It was a good teaching moment and hopefully he will understand that when we tell him not to do something it is because we love him and want to keep him safe. 



The month of May has plagued our family with sickness. 
We stayed pretty healthy all winter long, but it always seems to catch up with us this time of year. 
We started the month with the stomach flu and ending the month with nasty colds:(( 



This picture cracks me up!!!
I think the biggest challenge for me this summer will be trying to limit "screen time" and come up with other fun activities. 


We were able to find one day during the cold and wet month to go to Lagoon. Kyler was able to make it on another big ride. He needs to just grow an inch and then he will be able to ride anything. 


This year Kyler had double dose of preschool.
He attended the community preschool on T/W/Th afternoons.
They did a fabulous job and he loved going.
I was finally able to attend one of his programs/graduation.
They were usually scheduled on days that I was busy with my preschool. They put on the cutest program!!!







His teachers: Miss Laurel and Miss Linda



Can't wait for Summer and to check all the things off of our 
Bucket List!!!

Catch of the Day

Last week Kyler went on a field trip 
with his preschool to a fish farm. 


This is the ideal way to take a 5 year old fishing. 
Lot's of fish and no wait time. 










He was pretty excited when he caught one of
 the biggest fish in the pond.

Closing a Chapter

Life is all about writing chapters in our life.
Some are good, some are bad
Some makes us happy, and other's leave us feeling sad.
Some chapters we learn and grow a ton and others we just coast by.

Last night we closed a chapter in Kyler's life that has many happy memories, especially for me. 
After being his preschool teacher for the past 4 years it's time for him to move on, and boy is he ready!!!! 



His speaking part was:
Skeletons with jingly bones,
Walk around with moans and groans.
Lift the costume and you'll see,
Underneath the bones, it's me.

"When I grow up I wan to be a robot engineer." 



I feel so blessed to do something that I love and to be able to still be at home with my children. 
I had a darling group of kids this year and it is 
bitter/sweet for the year to come to an end. 

After graduation grandma Shirley took us out 
to Costa Vida to celebrate




As a sidenote, I think I had better make a different sign for next year. This picture that a mom took cracks me up!!!
