May that feels like summer

 We started off the first day of May by going to the pool!

We can't wait to go to California and always be playing at the pool.

Aj likes being outside too and looks like a stud in his sun glasses.

Tallin finally got brave enough to start swimming and not just hang out on the steps. 

I was not even in the pool. I was so proud of him!

These boys got hooked on online books. 

I found some Eric Carl books on You Tube and they loved watching them.

I forgot my camera when we went to the Zoo with friends.
But one of my friends took a picture and I had one to document it.
June is only 2 weeks older then Tallin. She makes him look so little next to her


I had such a great mothers day.
Tallin went and helped Zack pick out flowers for me.
He picked purple daisies. He loved them and woke up the next morning saying, "mom purple flowers".
He is so cute! He also helped Zack put together my mothers day present.
I got a toy chest!! Yes, I know a weird present to ask for, but I got sick of picking up all of the toys all over the house.
This gem has saved me a lot of time cleaning up now. 




I signed Tallin up for swim lessons.
He did great the first day and then not so great the next few days.
I actually had to go sit in the car because he would not stop crying.
Little did I know all he wanted was for me to sit inside the gate and watch him swim.
The last day I asked if I could say inside the gate during their lesson. I sat on the ground to watch him and he was totally fine and did not cry at all. I wish I would of thought to do that sooner.
He was so proud to show me all of the things he had learned.
It was so cute and I just loved watching him and was so proud of him.

I promised Tallin that if he was a big boy for swim lessons and didn't cry he would get ice cream. 

He was so excited when he got home and he got to have a ice cream cone.

The temple was super close to swim lessons, so we stopped by on the way to swim lessons every day.


One of our friends put together a bbq.
We had a lot of fun swimming with everyone.

Tallin absolutely loves the temple and Jesus!

I got him a new picture of Jesus. But left the old one on the dresser. 

Tallin found the picture and asked us to put it back on the wall. 

I'm not going to lie but his old picture of Jesus freaks me out.

Man these boys sure make my days busy, but I love them so much!!

Aiden was teething and would not let me put him down.
So into the baby sling he went, that way I could cook dinner and do everything else I needed too.

Zack finished his second year of Med School!
I am so proud of him.
A couple of wives and I put together a fiesta for our husbands to celebrate.
We surprised them with it and it was so fun!
A little crazy at first, but we had fun and I am so glad we did it.
We wanted them to have fun before they had to start studying for boards.
I think they all had fun.
I got a pinata for the boys to hit, but it broke while the kids were hitting it.
I was a little bummed about that because I wanted them to go to town hitting it and taking out all of their stress on it. But the kids had fun!

Zack loved the food. We had carne asada
burritos with homemade beans and rice. 

The kids chowed down on fruit.

Aj was such a champ during the whole party.
He is usually really needy and always wants to be held, but he actually entertained himself.
It was so nice!

 One night I told Tallin I was going to get bath ready.
I came back in and Tallin had gotten into the bathtub.
It was so funny!!

Bath time is getting so much more fun!
Aj cracks up at anything Tallin does. It is so cute!

The day after finals were over, I made Zack a great breakfast.
After he saw what I made he said, "Wow you must be happy that finals are over".
I am beyond happy finals are over!


We had a busy month and are so excited for next month.
We will be driving to California first and will stay there for 2 weeks and then will head to Oregon for the other two weeks. We are hoping the drive will not be to bad with the kids.
