May- Memorial Day

These two.. I just love that they love each other.
I taught preschool for the last time this month. It was a happy/sad day.  We did the letter Y and drew a picture of "YOU".

It was so fun to walk them through a self portrait.  They each had a mirror to look at themselves.  We talked about face shape, eye shape, placement of features. They all did really well.  I love what they came out with in the end.

Ava

Evelyn
Heath




Houston made one too.  It may be my favorite, it's so cute. I will get a picture of it soon.
Blood soup is always still a favorite.  Borscht.

Hannah is 14 months old and getting more and more spunky.  She loves to play with the boys and tell them what to do.  She can sign milk and please.  She can say Heath, Mommy, Dadadada, Iwuube yooouu, NO!, and MINE! (as any 3rd child would learn pretty quickly) 
She is a champ sleeper. She usually is out by 7pm sleeps till 8or 9am then naps from 12-4ish. Yeah she's awesome!
For Memorial Day weekend we took a trip home.  It was so fun to see cousins again!     Isla
Houston & Ana. 

Julia
Grandma's flowers are always so beautiful!
Renata and Heath

Julia. I love this girl and her stories.  She is so fun.
Houston
Heath was finding all kinds of mushrooms while we were there.
and Houston found a few too.
Daddy had fun in the garden.  Hannah had fun watching Daddy.

Heath lived on the scooter.

Hannah enjoyed the bikes till someone wanted to help her....

Big Wheels are SO cool to Houston.
The strawberries were just starting to become ripe.... they were SO good!


This is how I know Matt really loves me. 

When he picks the first ripe strawberry of the season he doesn't just gobble it up himself. He comes to find me, then lets me eat it. Yep, that's true love right there.

He knows the way to my heart.
 : )





















Not only delicious, but beautiful too.

I love these pictures of Houston.  He was SO happy running around at Grandpa's house.  Someday soon we can do that every day boys.

Sammy found a turtle.
And while he was mowing the lawn Luke found a nest of baby bunnies. So tiny!  So cute!
The kids picked a bunch of strawberries the next day.
They were enjoyed by all.  : )

I taught Lily and Bertie how to make flower crowns. They were such beautiful princesses.

Cousin time is the best!


Maren, Bertie, Owen & Houston's tower!
We read lots of Grandma's awesome stories.

I have a feeling Lucy and Hannah will cause some mischief together in the coming years.
Little Hazel was so sweet and cute! 




It was a wonderful weekend, then it was time to go back home.
