Thank Goodness for May

Family: We enjoyed some good quality family time while dad was on his week long break from school. We went fishing with the Seely's and him and the girls prepped for Mother's Day while I was at work. We all got to travel down to Delta for Memorial Day and attend the Bliss Family reunion. We love it when we get to spend time with everyone.

Colby AND Megan:
I decided to combine us for this month since we started the month of together! We shipped the girls to Delta with the grandmas and had ourselves a stay-cation! Colby got to do some golfing while I was at work that Friday and then when I got off we went to dinner then went to a movie, The Longest Ride. it was really good. Saturday morning we went to brunch at a little cafe then went to the Salt Lake Temple to do a session. I have never done a session there. Then we went to Iggy's to watch the Kentucky Derby. Later that evening I drug Colby to a swing dancing lesson, which he now admits, wasn't too bad and he would go back! On Sunday, we enjoyed a kid free day at church and was able to listen to all three meetings. We cooked some lunch together then went and checked in at the Anniversary Inn for the night. Monday we drove down to Delta and I had a dentist appointment and then we did a round of golf before grabbing the girls.
I had a great Mother's Day. Colby and the girls made sure the house was cleaned and cooked me a delicious dinner. They got me some kit kats and yoga pants with a card! It was so sweet.
Colby, while on his break, got to go golfing at Thanksgiving Pointe. He has always wanted to golf there.

 Hayden:
She is winding down her first year of schooling. She doesn't finish until June 4th. She has a new best friend every single day and her favorite thing to do is play with Moosey. A little stuffed moose toy. We have started reading chapter books together, starting simple with just the Box Car Children. I can barely get her to sit still for 1 tiny chapter. I'm hoping she improves if we keep going with it. She sometimes tells me, "You read and I'll listen while I'm over here doing this." Which she tunes me out and does her own thing. Practice makes perfect right?!?! She loves it when we read scriptures to her and she always asks to ride on her daddy's back when we head upstairs to do it. She says the sweetest prayers which she very frequently talks about how much she loves Jesus. She got to where she was drinking a lot more soda than I would like her to and, of course, when I tell her to do or not to do something she always has to know why. Then that leads to another question and another. She is definitely very inquisitive. So, she learned all about how too much sugar can cause diabetes or as she puts it, "di-O-betes." Now, she tells us when we have a soda that it isn't healthy for us and she'll ask me to tell her when she has had too much so she doesn't get "di-O-betes." She is so sweet and is trying so hard to be a great sister- which she does tremendously! She always feels guilty when she has done something wrong. But she does so good at giving Hanna lots of love! She also had so much fun playing with so many of her cousins over Memorial Day weekend


Hanna:
Hanna is jabbering in her own little language! It is so cute. She says, "peas" (please) and "tay-tu" (thank you) along with a lot of other little words. She will try and mimic anything we way to her. She loves poking belly buttons. She is sleeping great at night and still napping 2 times a day. I don't see her dropping that anytime soon! She is trying to pop four molars and about 3 teeth in the front all at the same time. She has been more cranky than normal but still not bad considering that!! She loves to run and still loves wearing headbands or hats or anything on her head. She is definitely more of a Mama's girl, which I am okay with. She loves to give hugs and kisses. She is LOVING her babies! She gives them kisses, rocks them. I love watching her take care of her babies. It is adorable. She is my little snuggler- I love feeling her little arms wrapped around my shoulders with her head on my shoulder.
