Instalife---May

Wow, I have neglected the ol' blog for a while. Ever so slowly I'm creeping toward blogging present-day events...just not there yet! Here are some snapshots of the fun we had in May.

This sweet girl turned 2!!!

We arrived to paradise!

Gina and I both went shopping separately for vacation clothes, only to arrive thousands of miles from home practically twins!!

Even cloudy skies are beautiful here.

Ainsley had a blast licking the frosting pan before her birthday party. Its like paint you can eat!

Vacation is great, but coming home to these sweet faces is even better!

Mother's Day brought me breakfast in bed...and a little one to help me eat it =)

Daddy has waited 2 long years for this little pigtails.

Our friend Brandon may have hit borderline genius status here....Put the sprinkler on the top of the trampoline instead of underneath! Our fun meter increased drastically =)

We brought the girls a hammock home from Mexico. And while I was hanging it in the tree, Ella made herself a tree fort out of the limbs I had cut off the other tree.

Sleeping baby as we made a whirl-wind trip to Riddle.

Only the best view in town for you Poppa. We sprinkled Poppa's ashes at the top of the ranch overlooking Riddle.

Ainsley and Kolby running carefree in the field.

The Children's Museum added an outdoor exhibit where you can made a lean-to and climb in a giant tree. Of course you can't leave without painting your face!

Throughout the year Ella and I have struggled with making sure she was making the best decisions for Ella regardless of what the kids around her were doing/saying. At the last assembly of the year she was recognized in front of the entire school for her character and initiative. We are so proud of the girl you are Ella!

Its Rugged Maniac time!! Neal, me, Rob, Gina, Cindy, Jessica, Allie and Ryan all completed a 3.1 mile, 31 obstacle course!

I fell completely in the mud on obstacle 5 or so! It took 4 washes to get rid of that matted dirt in my hair. If only the picture showed how dirty I really was...

The fun never stops around here!!!
