A picnic lunch at the park. Loving the weather today!

Yesterday was a pretty great day. Ronnie and I were able to spend the day together at the temple supporting a dear friend. It was also a bright day, hence the squinting.

"Look, Ma! No hands!"

This guy, this one right here, has a birthday today! He hates when I try to make him the center of our attention, but there is no getting away from it this time. We are so grateful for him. His love, his goodness, his service, his testimony, his hard work, his fun and all that he is. Happy Birthday Ronnie!!!

Happy Mother's Day to my angel mother! She is such a wonderful example of selfless service, love and hard work. I hope to someday be just like her. So glad we got to spend part of the day with you! Love you!

I'm so grateful for a wonderful mother-in-law. I really hit the jackpot with Karen! Happy Mother's Day! Wish we could be with you!

My loves. Words can't express how happy I am to be their mother. I struggle every day and get to start over again each morning. I wipe tears, kiss owies, pray constantly and feel overwhelmed but I get to do it again with a wonderful husband and the Lord by my side so I think I may just make it.

 Spring in Wyoming. This, this is why we can't plant gardens until after Memorial Day.

With the 11+ inches of snow we got yesterday, I made the executive decision to give Devynee a snow day from preschool (the older kids still had to go). No 11:00 a.m. pick up, meant that this cute thing got her full morning nap and she is not sad about it.

With summertime upon us, I wanted to share another #happyhint. I always cut up my watermelon on a jelly roll pan and juice is completely contained. Saves so much wiping! #brynleewasimpatientlywaiting

This little lady turned 7 months old 4 weeks ago, but I wanted to get this in here before I forget. #fifthchildproblems Hallee had a big sleep transition this month and went from waking 3-4 times a night to sleeping through the night! (7pm-6am most nights). She continues to work on her crawling but is not quite there yet. She can get anywhere she wants with a lunge one from a traditional crawling position. She is such a happy baby the majority of the day and eats anything she can get her hands on. We love her sweet smile and giggles!

Today was Devynee's preschool celebration. We still have a few days left but the kids sang some songs and told us what they want to be when they grow up (a chef for Dev). This girl is ready for Kindergarten!

Went for a run this afternoon and got to look at this. I love this place.

Last day of school. We have kids that are official done with pre-k, 1st and 3rd. Exciting for a great summer! #momhashergamefaceon #summerisnojoke

Happy Birthday daddy!

I like to send Ronnie pictures like this every once in a while.  Me, at home getting throw up cleaned out of the carpet and Ronnie, golfing with buddies. :)

We can't get enough of this happy girl.

The big kids enjoying our 11+ inches in May.  The best snow to play in!

Devynee in her chef outfit ready for Preschool graduation. Unfortunately, I couldn't get her to wear the hat for the graduation. We even planned the apron to match it!

Saturday before Easter - egg and basket hunt at our house.

Afflerbach school carnival face painting!

Ronnie likes to send me pictures of how he and Hallee are doing when I am away. This night, she started out a little upset, and things looked up after a bit.

Saturdays are for fire pit building.

This quiet time brought to you by a DVD that reads children's books while showing the pages. Most brilliant idea in the history of ever. #totallywinningit #worldsmostokayestmom

Easter egg dying action over here today. My kids are so patient with their Roy G. Biv obsessed mama.

Brynlee fell at the park yesterday and tore a hole in her pants. When we got home, she asked for a band-aid - you know, like every kid does.  I didn't think anything of it until we were loading in the car later and she had her band-aid nicely covering the hole in her pants.

Splish, splash, she was takin' a bath...

Happy Easter! I am so grateful for this family of mine and for my Savior who lives! #princeofpeace

This darling is 6 months old! She is the light of our lives and is the happiest thing (during the day). Nighttime is pretty rough as Hallee is waking 3-4 times a night and slowly making mama go crazy. Good thing she is so cute! Hallee is a champion napper and prefers to be swaddled. She loves any and all attention and can get all over the room between rolling and scooting on her belly. She is pretty great at rolling with the craziness that is our family and we love her!

Let's do this thing!

Devynee and I were able to attend "Kindergarten Round-up" tonight to get all of her registration process completed. She was pretty thrilled to be the center of attention and get a new book out of the deal as well. I can't believe that she will be joining her older brother and sister at school this fall. Where does the time go?
