1st Half of May

May is going quick.  Here are some updates.  
I love this time of year to see things grow and bloom.

Steve put ground cover and mulch down in front of the garden so the kids would stop digging it up and especially so the cats would stop pooping there, gross.

Our garden growing- 
-tomatoes, bell peppers, watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkins, and lettuce.

The strawberry plant and lilac bush.
 

Our potato plants coming up.

Our pear tree and peach tree growing, both budding.

Cute Nyles in his cowboy outfit for rodeo day at school (thanks for the hat and handkerchief mom last year from our family reunion).  Nyles colored his horse himself.

And then we got a BBQ almost free.  They were giving away $100 for a BBQ at HomeDepot after taking a survey.  Steve answered one question and was done, then got $100 off a BBQ.  We needed a new one actually, so it was great timing!  These boys are so lucky!

Nyles w/ our new BBQ.  Just in time for Summer grilling!

More of the beautiful lilac bush; it smells so good!

The boys helping Steve take out the weeds under the bush.

Silly Carter, loves to sit on Steve.  He's so helpful!

Carter LOVES listening to the music from Moana, just the music, not the movie.
He can watch it over and over again, preferably while eating yogurt.

Steve put the baseboards back up after finishing the tile.

We put up wall mounts to help organize the mail.  
More baseboards and a transition piece between the tile and hardwood floor.
 

           We took a walk down to Nyles' school one night after I got home from work, then played on the playground a few minutes.
               

Nyles going down the pole.

Beautiful Irises coming up on the front lawn.

Beautiful peach and purple color.

And more beautiful colors in the back.

We got together w/ Steve's family at our place the first Sunday in May.
We sang Happy Birthday to Phill.  Carter loves frosting!

And some ice cream of course :)
             

Nyles and Carter just coloring at the Dr's office w/ Steve.

Carter figuring out how to use the piggy bank.


Haha we found this the next day.  
Maybe he's trying to figure out an easier way to get into the piggy bank.

Steve had to redo the electrical behind the soffits and put up nail plates.

Our hummingbirds are back!

Steve, Rob and Nyles went fishing at Utah Lake last weekend.
Nyles had lots of fun riding in the boat.

Rob on his boat.


Nyles enjoying some chips.

And a sucker while fishing.


Getting the dry wall back up.


Cute Carter's hand on Mother's day!

Card Nyles made in Kindergarten.

Pillow I made for Joann w/ all the names of her grand-kids on it.

And one for my mom.

My cute boys!

Nyles wrote some stuff about me.

Trying to get a family picture.


On Mother's Day, Pauline, Chris, Charlotte and Ezra came over for dinner and played games.  We hope everyone had a very Happy Mother's Day!  Love you all!
