Taking a break from reading to take some selfies. Emma had lined up her stuffed animals to hear the story too.
Hugs for Makayla's birthday!
What did the little girls get her?
Birthday girl!
Look at how fast Adalyn runs!
We left Makayla's track meet before the girls could participate in the lollypop race, so we had one at home for them.
At the starting line.

Random pics of the kids...did someone steal my phone?
Emma fell asleep on the chair with me.
Building with blocks at preschool
Makayla and Joseph did face paint on me...with watercolors!
Makayla did a good job on Zach, I mean spider man.
even had shooters
Adalyn at the neighbor's rock.
My phone rotates through this as my back ground fairly often.
Zach slammed his finger in his friend's heavy wood door. It looked soo painful. Rob drilled a little hole in the nail to release pressure and it helped soo much! I wasn't home when that happened. Too stressful for me. Also, Makayla and I had plans.
We went to see The Diary of Anne Frank at our High School. Makayla loves WWII historical fiction as much as I do and read the book in anticipation for the musical (they advertised it when we saw Sponge Bob, so she decided she would read it so we could go together.)
When the older boys graduated from elementary school, they sent home these pictures home in folders. This year they sent us the link to buy it ourselves. So I just took a grainy picture of a picture.
Actually I think this was the day they decided to drill it. It looked painful and puss mixed with blood came out when they drilled the hole. But Zach felt instant relief when it was done. You can see a bandaid line on his finger. It was so painful before Rob drilled, Zach wore a bandaid to try and cushion it, but anytime it bumped anything, it throbbed. He even called me from school crying. I think he went back to class, he just wanted to tell me he bumped it and it hurt.
Emma fell asleep doing her school on the computer one day.
Sisters have matching jammies!
idk why Zach is eating his birthday cake with no hands.
Our next door neighbors that aren't outside as much have a few garage sales a year. This time the kids came home with HUGE stuffed animals. WHY!?! Joseph named his cookies and sleeps with it.
The octopus gets shown off to friends, but that's about it.
Zach's birthday present...an electric scooter. This ended up not going fast and we got a refund. I can't remember what he got instead for his birthday...
Birthday hugs from brothers
Birthday hugs from sisters
What did they get him?
The LAST mother's day picture with all my kids at home. I dont' take these pictures every year, but we had to take one on the LAST one.
Crazy big stuffed animals.
They made me french toast with nutella on it for mother's day breakfast in bed!
