May, Oh May

The month started out with a big change. Our favorite neighbors moved. Callie and Brandon decided to sell their house and put an offer on a short sell home. They will still be within walking/riding distance though so it isn't as sad as it could be. The new neighbors had some workers mowing the lawn and Evelyn heard it and looked at Callie and said "My Daddy's home mommy! Daddy's home!"

It's going to take a little getting used to .

Then we celebrated Cody's (and Evelyn's) 2nd birthday. Callie and I had the birthday's together at JJjump. We invited some friends and everyone had a blast! And I didn't have a house to clean afterward. Love it.

Cody REALLY enjoys his food!

“Why’s your cake bigger than mine?" “Oh yeah, I’m the 4th child.” (Sorry Cody, but we did go to JJjump!)

Then Brooklyn and Olivia had the chance to participate in their school Talent Show. They were the Hula Hoops Sisters. We made them some “custom” hula hoops, and they did a routine to “Party in the USA”. They were so cute. Brooklyn was totally counting out the beats and singing to the music and Olivia was in “the zone” so serious.

We also had a beautiful Mother’s Day. I got a patio set with an umbrella and Casey made an awesome dinner on the grill. The kids all helped Casey make me a wonderful breakfast also. They get so excited about it and make me a card with my options on it and i get to choose what I want. (It’s like being at the Hospital.) It’s pretty cute.

For Casey’s birthday we went out to dinner with our friends and tried a new restaurant. (I think it was Hennery's or something.) It was very good!

We wanted to go camping for Memorial Day weekend, but it has been raining ever since Mother’s Day. The rain did let up on Saturday though so we took the chance to take the kids on a hike up Beacon Rock. I was a little nervous with the height but we had Cody in a backpack and the trail/ramps weren’t bad at all. The kids had a blast! We will definitely do more hiking this summer.
