May 2017

Fun gross mutant dandelion I found. It was like a grown together combination of 4 dandelions. There are so many out this time of year!

 This little girl makes me smile so much!

 Hailee's newest creation: Mermaids! This is the cutest thing seeing these two dressed up together

 Rainbow sisters!

 Doesn't get much cuter than this!

 Yellowstone!
Our first stop on our drive through Yellowstone: Gibbon Falls

 It's so nice this time of year! It was a perfect day to go. We saw lots of buffalo

 Too many buffalo blocking the road like always... at least we got nice close up views! We could have reached our hands out of the car window and touched them... but of course we didn't!

A little snake we saw next to the boardwalk

 Nice group picture :)

 I kept telling Hailee that her leggings matched a lot of the things we saw at Yellowstone. She agreed!

I told the kids to tell me when they wanted a picture in front of something they liked. These two liked the green water.

Owen liked the wavy looking ground

Pretty orangey pink!

 My handsome boy in front of Steamboat Geyser

 Cougar faces!

 Our beautiful sunny day turned into a more cool and rainy day later on

 Grand Prismatic Spring. The steam was awesome!

 Sweet Owen wasn't always quite sure what to think of this place. It can be a little scary for a 4-year-old.

Old Faithful!

 Watching Old Faithful. Poor Owen started to get really scared and wanted to run away. It was sad, but also a little funny. Poor little guy!

We had some beautiful weather in May. This girl knows how to relax!

 I love when these two play together

 Love when this little guy brings flowers to his Momma

 Funny story, I bought a cute shirt/scarf combo for Hailee on clearance for like $2. She loved it. But then I washed it and it shrunk quite a bit (yes, it was $2) so I went back and bought another bigger one. Now the two girls can be matchy matchy! And Owen's face is hilarious!

 Have I mentioned how fun it is to match these cuties?

We visited my Grandma on Mother's Day, and her collections and antiques never disappoint! This is an antique organ (that still works) originally owned by my Grandma's great grandmother! The red hue from the light only makes it a little creepy haha

 I love that every once in awhile I can get this sweetie to fall asleep while I'm holding her.

 This girl loves shoes and skirts. By the end of the day she has always found a skirt to put on over whatever she's wearing. Top it off with a pair of Mommy's shoes and she is all set!

Hailee had her dance recital last week. She did awesome!

More of Hailee's dance pictures

 I'm so proud of her and all of her hard work!

This girl loves herself a Fat Boy! It's impossible to eat those things without getting them all over your face

 Hailee had her 1st grade field trip to the zoo! She had a lot of fun!

I took this picture for proof to show Kyle that wherever I go the kids follow. I went and sat on Owen's bed for just a few minutes. Within the first minute, the kids started trickling in and sitting around me. Wherever I go they follow me around like little ducklings. I may want a minute to myself once in awhile, but really, I wouldn't want it any other way!

 Another cute matching sister picture

 Making cookies! Hailee made a tiny little pan too and they turned out great!
