Crafts plans are being made. I love having a daughter that gets equally excited about craft days as I do.

may 16

Every summer of Hailey's life she has a summer dress, that she wears to pieces. I have a feeling this dress is going to be this year's summer dress.

Two looks good on this guy.

This is pretty much the only picture of Porter on his 2nd birthday. I am not very good with the big day photos (holidays and birthdays), but even if I was I wouldn't have been able to capture one here, at Chuck E Cheese. He spent his time, terrified and on my shoulder. Large, creepy animals that speak frighten him. 

day 132

may 13

It has rained (or worse) almost every day this past month or so. My kids have adapted quite well to seizing the moment of clear sky and playing out in the wet grass, even if that clear sky only lasts an hour, we will take it and love it.

may 12

The only picture I took today was to give my husband photo evidence that he still does have a home and a yard (freshly mowed by my dad), that is waiting patiently for him to come home!

What is he screaming? Happy Mother's DAY!!!!

day 126

may 7

My mom loves quilting. My sister in laws and I took her to the quilt expo today. I saw this quilt and fell in love. It's just so happy. So I thought I would capture it, as well as my family and the quilt's creator in an awkward photo moment to share with you.

The sun is shining. The kids are swinging in the back yard. And vegetables and fruits are on my kitchen table again. I am so glad winter is over.

day 124

may 5

Midnight. Time to check Hailey's blood sugar. I walk in and see this. Sometimes I get sad that she is grown up. But times like these, I realize that she is not as grown as I think.

day 123

may 4

A blurry photo taken with my phone of Indiana Jones failing in his attempt to stay up 10 minutes past bed time.

day 122

may 3

It only took two years, but guess who finally loves the swing?

day 121

may 2

I have been spending a lot of time with Indiana Jones lately. He is a lot of fun to have around. I highly recommend him.

Hailey loves to work in the kitchen. I don't think she got that from me. And I know she didn't get that from her father.

Here is a bad picture of porters shiner for your viewing pleasure. The only picture that was taken today. That should clue you in to the fact that it was a HARD day.
