Highlights of our recent lives

Where does all my time go?  I used to be so much better at blogging, but now I can't seem to find the time to sit down.  And then when I do, catching everything up feels overwhelming.  Well, here is a quick review of the last several months...

Beginning with February --
Ahh, snow.  (Nope, I don't miss it at all.)

And then March --

More snow.  But, I will admit that their snow man is pretty cute!

I'm glad the kids enjoy the snow.
Spring Break to Minneapolis --

We stopped at the Cherry.  Didn't know, Minneapolis had a Cherry, did you?

And of course, Mall of America!

Rides galore!


Jenna even got to ride on one of the more exciting roller coasters.  I wish I had a picture of how big her eyes got during the ride!
We'll skip April (snow melted)

On to May --

Jenna turned 6!
J and O helped make the Jenna's PINK birthday cake.  Does every little girl ask for pink cake?
Oh, and notice something different?  Jenna had about 7 or 8 inches cut off her hair in April.  She was SO excited!  She'd been asking to have it cut short for months.



Happy Birthday!
Oh, and we can't forget Mother's Day.  At church the brothers were asked to bring cookies for the sisters in bags of three.   Here's what I got -- yum.  Cookie Crunch cereal.  I feel so appreciated.  (Of course they were a joke, and I did get three real cookies right after that.)

Fortunately my family gave me a good Mother's Day celebration with breakfast in bed and a beautiful fruit salad with dinner.
