School carnival

 I wasn't sure I was going to go to the school carnival, but decided to go as everyone was getting their shoes on.  We did the cake walk first.  I held the twins hands and walked around with them until their number was called.  I love this face Matthew is making.  Cheese!
 Michael getting ready to dunk the principle.  It was freezing, so we felt bad for him.  He wasn't up there very long.  Michael dunked him on the 2nd throw!

 Christopher's friend Ben was next in the dunk tank.
 Christopher dunked him right away!  (The guy with the towel is Ben's dad and our bishop.)
 Makayla was really excited for the train ride.  The line/money taker (50cents!) wasn't working out, so the twins went on the next time around.
 (sorry, I couldn't decide which smile I liked better)
 Matthew was soooooooooo excited to ride!
 Joseph was wary.



 This picture cracks me up.  When it started moving, Matthew started crying.  I was laughing because of how excited he was to go on it.
 Michael's tiger face paint.
 Christopher chose to keep his dollar instead of buying a treat.  Rob's granny had dinner with us at home before the carnival, then came with us, then stayed for a movie night at our house.  It was a fun day!


 The twins enjoyed their treat-a churro!
 Makayla getting her face painted. Rob took her over cuz I was d.o.n.e walking, so I'm not sure how she chose what she wanted.

 A pig!
And her hair for the day.

Beginning of May

 Matthew learned how to climb out of his crib and sometimes falls alseep with Joseph.  A week later it is reversed.  Joseph climbs into Matthew's cribs.  Now is NOT a good time for them to trash their room every naptime and never fall asleep.  We had to switch the lock around cuz Matthew will get up in the middle of the night and just stand there quietly.  He's scared Rob a few times.
 The first 2 days of the month my tailbone hurt soooo bad I spent those days on the couch.  At night I would pray to go into labor cuz it was so painful.  Not a contraction in sight.  Day 3 was soo much better!  It didnt' start hurting until I climbed into the van.  I thought since I was taking so many pictures from the couch, I'd take a selfie.  Oh, and show off my new glasses.  The kids say I look like my sister Cambrai and Grandma (my mom).  I really like them!  I got my last pair of glasses when I was 14, so it was a nice change.
 twins playing with the bat cave...the boy version of a doll house, right?  ;)
 Makayla in her new birthday outfit.  I think Joseph is sad cuz she's not sharing very well.

 awww...playing with it again.  Guess it started sparking their interest, so they have to play with it each day.



 Rob cut down one of our dead aspen trees.  It was next to the one on the right.  I almost got a picture of the tree hanging onto the evergreen as it was coming down, but I wasn't thinking about taking pictures, just keeping kids off the grass.
Classic everyone must play the piano at the same time & Makayla is sad cuz she can't hear her song.

 The last day of speech class was a pirate party.

 The twins decided captain americas needed to sit in the princess chairs.
 Rob knows alot of magic tricks...including getting a hard boiled egg through an old milk jar.
 Joseph had an order of books he was going to look through.  I thought it was cute the way they set up the chairs too.


 38 weeks.  Looks like I have a basketball in there.  Funny, a few times I've lifted my shirt to scratch my belly or give it air, Joseph says "Shoot ball" as in basketball.  Only when my skin is showing. Funny!

 We fit all 5 kids in the home depot cart!  Until it was time to put the tomato plants and marigolds that we bought.  A few days before I saw 6 kids in the maceys car shopping carts.  It was funny!  Their dad was driving it crazily as the mom walked behind.
 Makayla is practicing with her baby.
 Joseph's funny mask.
 Christopher's poster for the wax museum.  Sadly I don't have a picture of him dressed up because I was in the hospital, 9 hours after the baby was born.

 Makayla took my picture at the park.
 Makayla at the park....she did enjoy herself....really.
 I love that the twins are more independent at the park now.  It is easier to watch them when there aren't very many kids there.


Makayla's high ponytail made her look so old!  (I'm shocked I took this picture cuz I was having contractions all through dinner.)
