May & June

It has been a while since I posted and wanted to update you on the photos I have taken taken with my phone.  I still don't know how to put video from my phone on so I will keep trying. 

Here's Rylan entertaining himself and the little boys.  He has been off of school for testing this week and I forget how much energy he has.  They played with this snake until it had no more life left.  At one point I saw Rylan laying right next to the slimy thing.  After running errands we came home to find it lifeless.  Rylan couldn't resist playing with it still until Mike insisted he through it away. 

Rylan got nominated for leader of the week because his teacher said he was proactive in his work.  He was very excited although when I got a note saying parents were invited Rylan didn't want me to come.  Alright with me, one less thing to do.  So when the day came Rylan changed his mind.  I had to rearrange everything so that we could go.  I'm glad I could go, he was so happy. 

I am so happy to have my herbs this year.  My wonderful husband bought me all of these and another pot full.  Now my goal  is not to kill any of them. 

Elsie had a luau for activities day.  She was so excited words can't even describe it.  6:30 was a long time to wait.  She made these skirts herself for the party out of crate paper.  We walked all the way to the church with them.  There was no one else with such awesome skirts.

 For Memorial day we went to the cemetary to see grandma and grandpa Wertz's graves.  It turned out to be a beautiful day.  We went over to grandma Wilcox's house for brunch.  She makes the yummiest food. 

The kids decided to get the little pool out on a cold day in May.  That didn't stop them from getting wet.

Here is my mother's day present from Elsie.  She had been saving the Reeses for a month I think.  She made her very own abc book at school for me.

Here the boys are working on a craft project grandma O'Dell got them.  They had so much fun doing it especially since it was just for them.
