What we do....

Shopping with kids tip #101: Buy them a donut when you walk in the store.  :)

We attempt selfies...

Jace got an eye exam, just as a check up before kindergarten.

Fun fact: Connor bit the head off a sucker and almost choked while he was getting his eyes checked.

Rain boots + umbrella + skirts = ADORABLE.

A leftover mushroom hunting picture...

Connor has been working on the best way to throw a fit.

Sometimes, not very often, Connor just falls asleep, all by herself...

May Days...

Every night.  A kiss and a hug.  Sometimes we are more loving than others...

The hummingbird feeder.  I had my doubts this would work, but it did, and fast!  We have a swarm of hummingbirds!  Equally impressive that the kids could be still enough the hummingbirds flew around them to eat!

Connor, where are the birds?  "Right there!"

A birthday celebration for Grandma J, complete with a round of baseball.

Sweet, sleepy, baby.

Kids helped me plant the garden.  Connor must really like potatoes...

Jace gets to ride on the mower = Connor very unhappy.

Poor Jace didn't last long!

Headed out to scout with Dad!

April Phone Randoms Part 2...

Jace got to feed the bottle calf at Jay's....

Some of Jace and Jed's monster mushroom crop...

Connor loves trying to get into Jace's carseat when she gets a chance...

Tigey, binky, bedtime!  We LOVE that binky!

Some sleepy boys...

Mushrooms...finally!

Jace counting mushrooms with Connor, and only damaging a few...

This was from a morning turkey hunt with Dad, went hunting, EARLY, got donuts afterwards, and sound asleep.  What a great way to start the day!

April Phone Randoms...

This doesn't happen very often...

She found her twin!

A Connor/Mommy selfie...

I think those are ducks he was trying to sneak up on...

I got some new tutus for Connor, and had fun trying them on the girls!

Drove by Jed's one day and saw this in the front yard!

The kids thought it was a bounce house ha ha!

Another Connor/Mommy selfie!

Kindergarten Roundup.

So, this happened.  Kindergarten Roundup.

Jace is so lucky to have Aunt Jena as one of the kindergarten teachers.  She won't be his teacher, but how special that she will be just a couple doors down from him!  And he will still see her plenty.  We will be working all summer on calling her "Mrs. Tharman."

Afterwards Jace and I went to get groceries before picking up Connor.  We got slushies at Sonic, and I even stopped at the Dairy Barn on the way home and let him have an ice cream cone in the car!

What an exciting day!  He's ready to go!  (But momma isn't ready for him to go!)

A little bit of everything...

This was amazing.  The bubbles were just sitting on the grass!

Just the girls!

Campout!  Ha ha--just kidding.  We set it up in the office.  Jace's first time using his birthday present!

Connor wanted to join too...but, she got voted out.

Trying out a new swimsuit top...

Just hanging out!

I told Jace to clean his room, and he did!

Happy Birthday to Mommy!
