I’m so behind here’s our family Easter picture :)
Our museum has a kids program every other week and this week it was on being a Yellowstone ranger, so the kids got to make ranger hats
Ranger Jonathan
Ranger David
It hasn’t been warm enough to camp outside, so one night I set the tent up in our toy room and let the boys sleep in it
Anna did not think it was very fair she didn’t get to sleep in it :)
First picnic dinner outside! We love it when we can eat outside!
Steve convinced me to let Micah play baseball this year (he helped coach so he was able to take Micah to the practices and games that it didn't work for us all to go to, so it made it doable). Micah absolutely loved it!
One night while Steve and Micah were at baseball practice the rest of us took a bike ride to the playground
We've taken a number of bike rides since the snow went away. On one of the trails all the boys can ride their own bikes, so it's just Anna in a trailer!
They still love throwing rocks in the water!
Very proud of our Cole potato shirts!
Our first fire of the year!
Anna's starting to get the hand of riding a scooter. And doesn't she look oh so cute in a helmet!
Doing some finger painting. It's all good until paint ends up on my walls! :)
Micah did pretty well with coach pitch. Very seldom did he have to use the tee!
His cheerleaders!
Anna with her neighbor friend. These two are pretty funny together (Deacon puts up with a lot)
We have lots of artwork all over our house, because we get them done three at a time (four now that it's summer vacation)
My cute baking assistants
Micah got to go with me to the store one morning and get a donut while we shopped
My mom came to visit. Anna thought she needed her hair done
Fun at the park
Micah and Jonathan got to take a ride in the tractor while they were planting behind our house (David was oblivious to what was going on so we didn't push it :)). It took about 10 minutes to go up and down one row. When Jonathan got out of the tractor we asked him "So did you talk the whole time?" to which he answered "Yes, I told him all about Spiderman" :). Just a gracious farmer to listen to a little boy talk about Spiderman for 10 minutes
Micah had his end of the year music program and they got to display their artwork at it so here Micah is with his artwork
They love playing in the pine trees by our house. They even have a tree stump that they pretend is their table.
Do you think she feels pretty? :)
Picture for our Mother's Day cards
We hiked to the M. Having a snack at the top.
Our little Montana Cowgirl
I can't remember if this was for something special or just because :) but we made bear pancakes for breakfast one morning.
Again, not sure how this came about, but they raided my closet for shoes and put on their cowboy hats
So this happened! She tried to climb out of her crib one day, so rather than wait for her to succeed and get hurt, we took the side off. She's done really well staying in bed.
The best we could do on Mother's day :) Love being these kids' mom!!
We did a new hike, it was up to a bluff where Indians used to run Buffalo off of
It had quite the view. We just didn't go anywhere near the edge :)
We have spent a lot of time outside
Thankfully the kids love being out there
Micah really loves playing basketball in the driveway
Jonathan decided he wanted to make a little money, so he mopped the floor for me. He actually didn't do a bad job
We discovered a fun dirt bike tract by our house that the boys love going on.
The twins had their Kindergarten day in May (yes, sadly I'm only up to May here). It was a cold rainy day, so they went in sweatshirts and boots.
They were pretty excited to get to ride the bus with Micah (Anna would not be left out of the picture)
I'm not super excited for the twins to go to school, I love having them at home with me. So I knew Anna and I needed to go out and have some fun that day. We did some shopping and then met Daddy for lunch in town.
It was a pretty fun day. I think I'm going to be okay next year with my little buddy. Now the day she goes to Kindergarten, oh boy, I can't even think of that one!
The twins absolutely loved their day at school! It was on a Friday and Monday morning they were up at 7 ready to go to school and were very disappointed when I informed them they had to wait till August to go again.
Much to Steve's dislike, the boys really like playing with Anna's Barbie's :). Of course, since this they have broken the arm of a Barbie and have been told "No more Barbie's for the boys!" :)
Love this!
Anna got her Daddy to dance with her, so sweet
Micah came home from school one day with one less tooth! I guess he ran into one of his classmates during recess which knocked a tooth very loose so he decided to just pull it out.
Planting our garden
Micah had a field day and I took the three younger kids to it. The twins were not happy they didn't officially get to participate in the races, but they loved getting to practice on their own (here they are tied together trying to do a three legged race)
Micah rocked the three legged race with his buddy (they practiced for about 20 minutes before the race :))
They won first place!
We rode bikes to the Headwaters where three rivers converge. It was so flooded!!
This guy was a trooper! He rode his bike the whole 8 miles!! Way to go Jonathan!
Micah with all his ribbons from field day
On Memorial Day we hung out with some friends by a lake. The kids were pretty excited because we let them go on the paddle boat without any adults! They thought they were big stuff!
Anna and her friends had fun just dragging this tent around :)
Steve had fun taking kids on the kayak around the lake
At another baseball game
They really didn't pay that much attention to the game :) but they had a lot of fun
I went and had lunch with Micah the last week of school.
I made cupcakes for a graduation party and they asked me to make a cake to. I thought it turned out so cute!
My friend talked me into running the 5K fundraiser for school with her. I am so not a runner, but decided to give it a try. I didn't die, so that was good :). I even ran most of it, at leave 2 1/2 miles of it!
My cheering squad! The race went past our house so Steve and the kids came out to cheer Mommy on!
Our fire station had a fundraiser dinner and let kids sit in the fire truck which these kids thought was pretty cool
Picture for Father's Day cards
Lunch out to celebrate the last day of school!!
I made it to June, which is where my crazy summer of travels began!
