MAY...I have some more time....Please?

The birthday festivities string continues with my momma!

Homemade cards

Assistance with opening gifts.

And an amazing dessert....another blessed time with family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If it's nice outside....that's where I want to be...so this great night called for a dinner picnic in the backyard.

I think Ezra enjoys being outside just as much as I do!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Barista in training made his first delivery!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I wasn't able to paint the girls' nails....daddy was drafted in for his first pedi and mani.  He did a great job...such an awesome father!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Silly play times.

Zoe often wants to hold Ezra, until she remembers that there is a possibility of him spitting up.  She does love him!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So this....this is out kitchen/eat/play area.  You know the area that I spend almost all my time in!  And yikes, this is what I have been doing most of the month (you know besides the whole raising three kids thing), scraping wallpaper off, layers of it.  Who puts wallpaper on drywall...a mess and truly was driving me crazy.  It felt like it was always dirty, even when everything was picked up.  Can't wait for this project to be done!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ugly beautiful!  Trying to see the good amongst the crazy of the walls not being done, Beach having the flu and wild girls.  Yummy protein smoothies for dinner!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At our wonderful Chiropractic Office - one day we were there when they were closing and got to take home some balloons, which Zoe loved.

She is always asking to visit the fountain in the shopping center.  So we did that day for a cute picture opp!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So Zoe has yet to see a dentist and I found one near us that may work for our selectiveness.  

Ezra was with us and did well....besides the fact that we had to wait an hour to be called back.  AN HOUR!  What!

Zoe did awesome, though, and I am so proud of her.  She seemed to enjoy her princes toothbrush, a ring and sticker.  I'm pretty sure should would go back any day if she could!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beach works so hard and gets up so early. I'm impressed that he can just fall asleep pretty quickly anytime, even with the girls running around and screaming.  Shi left him a little present one day...he didn't even notice!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One morning Zoe woke up and sat in front of the window in my room just like this.  She instructed me to take a picture of her and to send it to daddy.  So glad she has moved past the stage of hating her picture being taken, beautiful girl.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So I have been pumping at home to try to build up my milk supply for when I go back to work.  The girls LOVE it and think it is some type of show (which I really don't like btw).  If Zoe has to do something she will even demand that I wait for her to come back before I start pumping.  On this day, Shiloh announced that she had her own pump!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We got to spend some special time with Beach's family and the girls loved hanging out with Julia!  She was such a good sport with them too!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My first official outing with all three by myself.

But Danielle and her girls were at the park too, so I thought I could try it!

It went so well!  So thankful, as it feels like life is more possible now!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some mornings just call for coffee runs and time outside.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Summer means free movies at the park....this time with the cousins!

And cute babes of course!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somebody was excited to learn more about letters.  (PS I realize more and more how I would not be good at home schooling.  Pretty sure she would have known this all by now if I had helped her earlier.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So one Saturday, Beach tackled mudding and sanding the kitchen = huge mess.  BUT thankfully the weather was great and we ate all our meals outside.

Loving it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This momma got a break to get her much needed hair done!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Although we haven't really watched a Disney movie, the girls hear "princess" songs a lot on Pandora....and are huge fans.  So when I saw that the children's theatre was doing Beauty and the Beast, I thought we had to try it!

I was a little nervous about how everyone would do, especially with the littles, but it went so well!!!

We all enjoyed it (although Zo was not into picture taking).  She kept asking why she could not dance on stage as well....gotta get that girl in dance in the fall!

I was especially glad that there were no screams from little man...just a smile to cap off the night!

Can we just slow down time please!
