May-Preschool

Preschool Zoo field trip! Graham was so lucky to have his Aunt Megan as his preschool teacher. For the field trip both classes combined so he got to hang out with his cousins Landon and Ellie, which also meant that Penny got to hang out with her cousin Hank, which also meant that we invited Grandma to come.

Penny on the baby tiger.

I made the mistake of parking Penny's strolled in front of the goats while I got Graham a quarter to buy goat food. I turned around to her scream and to see the goat with Penny's cup of cheerios stuck on its nose and spilled everywhere. She was traumatized. Luckily her aunt Jamie had some replacement snacks. Crazy goats!

Being consoled by her Grandma Smith.

 It was a successful trip!

Graham had some great buddies in his class. His cousin Landon on the right and Landon's cousin Dallin on the left.

Balloons make Graham nervous. To him there is no telling when they will pop, he figures he better always be prepared for the worst.

May- McCall trip

We headed up to McCall, Idaho Memorial Day weekend. We hung out with family, played on the beach, hiked around, and ate blue ice cream. Ryan and I also got some tennis in, which happens about once a year. It was a great little weekend getaway.

May- Oregon Trip

Towards the beginning of May I went home to visit my family. My brother and my sister were planning to run a 1/2 marathon of their own charting before my brother deployed. My other two sisters and I decided to surprise my brother throughout the run and join in. It all turned out so well and was such a sweet weekend. We missed our brother Adam but he was able to visit Brigham the weekend before. It was an amazing trip!

While I was away Ryan took good care of these little babes.

I was able to go to the Portland Temple with 4 of my 5 siblings and 2 of their spouses, and my parents while I was in town.

Some things in May

There has been a bit of a blog slump over here. For no reason in particular. Sometimes it seems like too much work, sometimes I don't want to share things with lots of people, sometimes I just don't think about it at all. But I decided to document our May activities in this small form. Enjoy!

An afternoon at Simplot's Hill.

Penny being cheesy.

This picture is so scary. One little slip and G would have been Princess Bride right down the hill.

They both brought their Georges up the hill.

At least a few nights a week we make a visit over to the neighborhood construction site. Pure love for this boy.

Penny sporting her Burger King crown.

Graham has been super into Thomas lately. This is him trying to decide between the shirt or the hat. He sent this picture to Ryan to get his opinion. He decided on the hat.

Happy 8 year Anniversary to us!
