Tales from the Taylors: May

May brought lots of fun things...like Everett's Balancing act

And Variah's drawing of our family. Each person is a different color-Daniel blue, V pink, me Yellow and Everett orange. We're all holding hands she told me

The artist with her work

We ate dinner on our fire pit table to enjoy our backyard before we ripped out the grass and began the remodel of the backyard.

Everett was so funny! He would crawl accross the table, eat some food, go play and repeat!

This is one silly boy!

We decided to take Daniel to the Curiosity Museum at Thanksgiving Point before our membership ran out. We spent all day there and had lots of fun!

The water table is awesome

The kids loved the veterinary clinic

This was another favorite room. The dryers were especially a hit!

Playing with black lights and sand

I attempted a picture with the kids but they were done after taking pictures with dad

This little guy is the happiest and always makes us happy too!

My first mothers day questionnaire. I LOVED it!

Our sweet little Variah

Mothers Day gift from Anna

I got a nap on Mothers Day. Variah even sang the Naptime song for me. It was awesome

The reason I'm a mom...

These crazy kiddos!

I sure am lucky to be their mom! I love them to pieces

Gifts from Daniel and the kids

Gifts from my mom

This girl loves being out in the rain and using this umbrella

Variah's Last Field Trip for preschool was to Wheeler Farm

These girls were so cute!

I'm glad V has cute friends her age in the neighborhood

We stopped at 4Life on the way home with Wendy's to have a picnic with dad

My favorite is Everett going for that frosty! Don't mind me in the pictures...

This little sweet heart made me a lunch

Our grass on it's way out...So excited for new grass in the backyard!

We went to the Timpanogos Temple to do sealings with Daniel's family to give Ashley and Tyson a chance to hear the awesome promises of being sealed together as a family.

This little guy got a haircut for Ashley's upcoming wedding

My dad came and watched the kids while we were inside the temple for the sealing.

Cousins

Hooray! Mr. and Mrs. Wright

Daniel, his grandpa Carson and cousin Michael

Variah was so excited to get a picture with the Bride! Ashley looked so pretty

Oh how I love this picture and these 3!

Cute cousins! Taylor, Variah and Marika

Daniel and his brothers

Photo bomb by me :)

Ashley was super smart and rather than throwing a bouquet, she threw a bunch of roses so all the girls were able to each get a rose

It really made Variah happy!

Variah and cute Sarah

Swimming in our blow up pool

Look at that skinny boy with the baby belly!

Picture day at Preschool

Everett needed to be a part of it too

Such a beautiful little girl!

And the grass is dead!!

Off to preschool

This little guy had an Ikea cinnamon roll for the first time-he LOVED it

Our sweet neighbor Oravanh gave the kids toys-Everett got a kitty that moves

Variah got some ponies

V, Lexi and Sophie

Jeff and Daniel were both out of town so us girls had a pizza party, and of course Everett too!

Hanging out at Variah's soccer game-cold as usual.

Tired from her game

So happy to have dad home from his work trip

They sure miss him when he's gone and get so excited for his return

Playdough creation by V

Silly photo booth picture of everett from the Ipad

How does he even sleep?

V earned her alphabet crown from preschool-she was able to name certain letters and make the sound for each of those random letters

His first corn dog with fry sauce-a fan for sure

Making pudding

The grass was dead enough we could cut it out

Rolling it all up

We added some green grass from the back to the front where we needed to slope it better with the cement work we did last fall

All gone!

Variah's class had a cute program at the library to showcase the songs and some nursery rhymes they learned during the year. V was so cute and loved being able to wave to us from the front!
