Bed head and a basket

Why does bed head look so darn cute on babies but not adults?! ;) And why does every kid love a good laundry basket?  One morning Claire just needed a little extra rest I guess because when things got really quiet, I found her in the laundry basket almost asleep with the clean clothes.

A visit from the Tobler's

Ryan's cousin, Jen, and her husband, Nick, and their four boys moved from Idaho to just three hours away from us in Kentucky this spring.  They came up for a visit over memorial day weekend and it was so fun!  I can't quite remember everything we did, but some things included a short hike to Hayden Run Falls, a visit to Whit's frozen custard, playing out in the yard a lot, barbecuing, picnicking at the park, and going to our ward's Memorial Day breakfast followed by the Grove City parade that had about 2 cars in it with political people and no candy (and what's a parade without candy?!)!  We love having family close enough to visit!

Mother's Day 2015

This was probably the first Mother's Day that I've had since having kids where I was not up all night with a sick and/or refluxing child and just completely overwhelmed and exhausted.  So, it was a great Mother's Day!  Ryan sent me flowers in the mail the week before while he was out of town, the girls made cute cards with pictures on them for me, Ryan made me an awesome crepe breakfast, and Lucy got to sing with all the primary kids in church and actually went up there all on her own!  

 This picture usually pops up somewhere around Mother's Day and I love it.

It must have been warm in May

It must have been pretty warm during the month of May because we sure did a lot of water-related activities and bike riding outside!
