...May 2013...

May started out with a BANG!

Kim got to bring home 2 of the 3 sweet ones!

 I could not stay away!

 Holding these sweet babies without any cords 

and monitors was just wonderful!

Here I am holding Cruz!

One night Kyle got in trouble for tearing papers into

small pieces and throwing them all over the floor in the car.

As punishment he had to clean out the whole car and vacuum it.

 He was pretty upset about it...

one by one his brothers came out to help!

How lucky are they to have each other.

Child Labor has officially begun at our home 

and daddy couldn't be happier!

Cody has started to mow the lawn!!

Dad does the back yard and Cody does the front!

 Some of the kids wanted to watch him mow for the

1st time!

It was a pretty exciting day!!!

 I get so much joy seeing my children get along!

This picture was just too cute not to share!

Saturday May 4th Kim asked me to come to the babies

newborn photo shoot.  I was there to help and watch!

The pictures turned out just perfect!

There was A LOT of bottle feeding,

pooping, diaper changing going on....
WOW!  What a family!

With Mother's Day approaching someone

sent me this picture!!!

It's PERFECT!

Having a daughter is just fabulous!

Lia's hair is getting so long.

Today I french braided it.

She looked so cute.

She also got to meet her newest cousins!
Kim had another photo shoot today with a
different company, and asked me to come to help again.

I think Lia died and went to baby heaven!

She could not stop looking at the babies and their car seats!

 

 The photo shoot went great!
Lia even got to hold Julie!
Just look at the smile on her face!
She was in 7th heaven!!!!!

That night Kim and Curtis invited us up so the kids could

meet their cousins!

We had to take a picture of the TWINS in the family!

Can you believe 3 sets of BOY twins!!

On the left are the baby "A's"

Steven, Kyle and Cruz

On the right are the baby "B's"

Luke, Jack and Kash

 

Then we took a picture of the kids together!

ALL 9 OF THEM!!!

Cutest Cousins EVER!!!!

Ever since Lia has started nursery at church

she has become fascinated with coloring.

She comes to me just about every day and says

"mommy, color, paper, please?"

Since my sister is moving on May 13th

I have been going up to Salt Lake just about every night.

I need to spend as much time with my sister and her sweet babies as possible!

I make sure I plan my arrival at feeding time!

Thank goodness there are enough babies to go around!

Such sweet babies!

Me and Kash!

Steven wanted so badly to hold Julie one last time!

And, how can you hold a baby and NOT kiss it!!!!

Mother's Day was very special this year!

Al of the family was in town.

It was Kim's 1st TRUE Mother's Day and 

it was the babies blessing day!

Talk about a PERFECT day!

I am very blessed to have such amazing MOTHER'S in my family!

And of course...here I am with my 6 blessings!!

What I blessed mother I am!

We also hit the POOL for the 1st time in May.

Lia LOVED it!!!!

I can not wait for SUMMER to officially begin!

Lia has also developed a LOVE for dancing!

Here she is watching herself dance in my closet..

she's so much fun!

We are in the THICK of baseball season too!

One of my favorite things about this time of year.

Watching my boys play BALL!

Lia snuck into the dugout

and I just HAD to snap the picture!

T-Ball has also started.

Kyle and Jack were so excited to be finally

doing something too. Instead of always having to watch

their brothers play!

Let's put it this way...
There's room for improvement!

Jack has ALWAYS loved to draw!

I also love that he loves it...

Except....

when it's done on the seats in the car!!!

Oh Jack!

My Cute Twins are done with preschool!!!

They are moving on to KINDERGARTEN!!!!

HOLY MOLY!!!

It's just crazy!

They are so excited and SO ready for school!

Yay!!!  Kyle and Jack!!!!

Going to Kindergarten, means,

Kindergarten Check-up!

Kyle was so excited to pee in the cup

Test his eyes,

Show the doctor all his "tricks"

Then... came the shots!

Happy Face GONE!

Luckily the tears didn't last long!

He did try to be so brave!!

Finally it was the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!

I promised the boys we would do s'mores

they loved it!

I also promised them they could burn their old uniforms.

They thought that was the best part!!!!!

YAY! For Summer!!!

Memorial Day morning I got a phone call from

our neighbor family, The Kinderds.

She told me she was down town at a Memorial Day Tribute.

We rushed into the car and got there just in time for it to start!

 It was great! I'm so glad she called.

I'm going to make this a tradition.

 Here are all the kids!

Our neighbor family!

We are so blessed to have the RIGHT NEXT DOOR!

The next day we started Swimming Lessons!

The boys did great!

We switched it up this year and went with a different teacher.

She was awesome and the boys loved her!

On the LAST day of May the Kindred's invited us to go

up to a camp site and have dinner and s'mores.

It was a lot of fun.

Dan was out of town on a business trip so 

it was nice to be out of the house...

Luke, Gavin and Steven

The 3 Amigos!!!

Cody and Austin

Kyle and Jack...

Mom and Lia

Kylie and Katie

Bryan and Collin..

Nothing like dinner in the mountains!

Then it was on to s'more fun!
