Lilacs

Brandon loves his yard and garden. He goes out and talks to his plants everyday, you know help them to grow! These are beautiful lilacs blooming in our backyard, Gabrielle took the picture of Tabitha and I, she loves the camera. Right next to them are some blackberries and strawberries. He has also planted some tomatoes, peas, beans, squash, pumpkins, broccoli, cucumbers, and zucchini in the garden. I love eating it all throughout the summer and fall. I bottled some tomatoes last year and have enjoyed those all winter long.

Park

We met our friend Camille and baby Truman at the park today to feed the ducks, eat lunch and play on the playground. Camille took these cute pictures of Gabrielle while she was playing.

Fishing

Gabrielle and Brandon went fishing this weekend and had a great time. Gabrielle caught two fish that we were able to enjoy on the BBQ.

Memorial Day

We enjoyed an evening of swimming. Gabrielle and Tabitha both loved going down the slides.

Smores

We ended the night with a campfire and smores.

Party

Tabitha was not that interested in opening the gifts, but loved playing with all that she got. Gabrielle was a great big sister and helped her open the presents and did a great job 'sharing'.

Cake

Tabitha did not hesitate one bit on getting into her cake, she loved it! Gabrielle love it as well and got right in on the frosting.

Sidewalk Chalk

They both had a great time coloring the driveway tonight, it was fun to watch them together.

Happy Birthday Kristen

My sister Kristen's birthday is Monday but we celebrated this weekend with my Mom and sister Kathryn. We had a fun sleepover, talked with my brother in Australia, enjoyed feeding the ducks at the park, and ended with cake and ice cream.

Happy Birthday Tabitha!

It is hard to believe that our baby is one today. We are going to be celebrating next weekend, but she got to "pick" her breakfast this morning and we are off to music class with some treats. We sure do love her!!

Slide

Tabitha can go down all by herself! She uses her arms to push herself to the edge and then goes down. We are sure loving the nice warm weather and I get my exercise by pushing them in the stroller to get there.

Happy Mothers Day

Flowers, breakfast, someone else doing the dishes, church, dinner with family, enjoying this nice weather, I had a wonderful day!

Walking

Tabitha has been taking 2-3 steps over the last several days! She has been standing on her own for a couple of weeks and now we back away from her and she was walk to us a step or two before falling.

Sleeve

Our girls have a cute quirky thing that they need to sleep, a long 'sleeve' shirt which they hold up to their nose. We loved it with Gabrielle and it is funny to see Tabitha doing the same thing.

Spring

We have been enjoying some really nice weather this week and have loved being outside.
