More of May {#3}

We sometimes have visitors in our bed around 5 a.m. who kick me out. {5/13}

Gray had his last day of preschool & was pretty excited.  The morning & afternoon classes were combined for a picnic lunch & graduation practice.  He was totally stoked about packing a lunch & wanted to eat his cupcake on the way there.  I explained he had to wait til Miss Krissy told them it was time to eat and he was so annoyed. (:  He's spunky! {5/14}

I really adore them.  We spend a LOT of time outside these days.  {5/14}

We like to take pictures of ourselves being silly. {5/14}

I tried a new technique for hard boiled eggs.  Baking them.  Set your oven to 325.  Put eggs in mini muffin tin.  Bake for 30 minutes.  Remove.  Place in bowl with ice & water for 10 minutes to cool.  They are super yummy.  Not as rubbery or something.  Thanks to my client Alis & Pinterest for the tip.

Kelsey made a few changes to my business cards for me & I LOVE them.  She does a great job.

The boys had a night in with Dad while I went to a training on calendaring/time management {which was AMAZING, by the way}.  They were so excited to watch a movie on our bed. {5/15}

Loving sonic's ice lately.  I just go & order an XL cup of ice for .27 and it lasts me a while.

More fort building.  The kid is obsessed, I tell you.  They're only little once, right? {5/16}

Toy Story 3 makes me bawl every time.

We had to have life insurance health tests again because the grace period to make changes to our underwriting ended two days too soon.  Angie-the girl who comes to do it-is awesome and makes it a seriously painless process.  Even Zac-who HATES having blood drawn & usually almost passes out-did great.  {The picture was right before while still nervous} (: {5/17}

The boys & I drove Aunt Taylor to her eye appointment because she couldn't see.  Both boys were in rare form all morning and by the time we drove over there I was ready to drop them on the side of the road...and I even threatened to do it.  Finally, after spanking Grayson and all of us having a good cry, apologies were offered and the day went more smoothly.  I was exhausted by noon, though, and when Beckham napped, I told Grayson I was going to, as well.  He took care of himself and after 45 minutes when I felt refreshed, he said, "How was your nap Mom?  I made sure everything was okay." {5/17}

The pick up bed is a favorite place to play & use our imaginations.  {5/17}

April's hard work paid off when I received my biggest check ever from TSFL.  Totally exciting!

Zac has a new schedule where he is in Boise on Monday's & Friday's and works from home T-Th {unless he needs to go in again}, so the boys and I are productive at home on Monday's and try to get out & do something fun on Friday's.  I surprised them with a trip to Jabber's and they were so excited.  They were SO good!  We stayed and played for 1.5 hours and they loved every minute.  Grayson was so good & helpful to Beckham and even helped the owner with a favor when asked.  I was watching from afar & afterward told him how thankful I was that he had helped her so willingly.  He said, "Yeah, I was pretty nice."  Haha!  It made me realize how much he's growing up.  It's impossible to catch a good picture of Beckham because he's always on the go, but he was adorable and hilarious.  They were awesome about leaving time, too, and we grabbed some lunch to keep them awake on the way home for naptime.  I snuck another mid day 20 minute nap & Gray held the fort down.  I swear that kid doesn't need very much sleep!  {5/18}

We had another BBQ with the whole gang at Taylor & Talon's house.  Beckham is a kitten mauler.  Once he has one, he is NOT letting it go.  He talks baby talk to them, packs them around, and looks like a football player carrying his ball.  The crazy thing is that the kittens don't seem to mind.  On the rare occasion he lets go, the kittens just follow him around.  He's got that electric personality.  We are glad we could hang with T&T+L&K+Mom & Dad+Doll+Jeremy & Gwen and kids.  A very fun evening. {5/18}

Zac and I have been enjoying the Super Hero movies since seeing Avenger's got us on a kick.  We've watched the first Batman, and both Ironman movies.

We went out for sushi with T&T and L&K and the four boys which was yummy.  Gray & Bex had been at T&T's while Z and I were getting a couple things in Ontario, so they brought them over.  Grayson was in mismatched pajamas, but oh well.  The boys took turns playing games on my phone & were really good.  Afterward, we went to Dairy Queen & got everyone ice cream to eat outside while we chatted.  It's so fun to have siblings who are our friends to hang out with.  {5/19}
