May Happenings

Simon and Nolan started taking piano lessons this month. They are loving it. They do a pretty good job too! I'll see what I can do about getting some video of them playing on here.


We had some friends come stay on our porch. It was really fun to watch these birds get bigger and bigger and hear them chirp away when there was food around. That poor mom would bring them food all day. As they got bigger there were two birds bringing the babies their endless meals. I took a few pictures from inside our office. And, if you can believe it, Bella would sit still for quite a while so she could catch a glimpse of the mommy feeding her babies. She was fascinated. It was nice of those birds to provide some entertainment for Bella.

Nolan graduated from preschool on Thursday (sigh). The preschool did a fun little program and then had a carnival-like place set up outside. They had a bounce house, a train, a merry-go-round, games where you could win prizes and lots of food. He was disappointed when he learned that he didn't get to start kindergarten the next day.


Last Saturday, I was at the temple for a sealing of some friends of ours. Ben was home with the kids and Bella found the scissors. . .Every salon was closed Saturday night and Monday for the holiday, so we went today to get it fixed. Her hair was long enough to donate it to Locks of Love. She got a little certificate and they took her picture to put on the wall. She was pretty excited. Here are the before and after pictures.


Doesn't she look so cute?!

Ben and I have been married for nine years today! Guess what we are going to do. . .
Take the kids to Chili's.
I know, sad right? We were going to go out to dinner and had a babysitter lined up. However Malia has a pretty bad cold and I didn't want to get the sitter sick. So instead. . .we'll get everyone at Chili's sick. :) Besides, kids eat free today! With their 2 for $20, we can feed our whole family for about $30. Can't go wrong with that.
Happy anniversary to us. . .Ha! So pathetic. :)
