Rilyn's Graduation and Birthday

This week Cody surprised the kids by coming home to visit.

Thank goodness for frequent flier miles. The kids went peach picking with Grandma and Aunt Kelly.

Rilyn graduated from Kindergarten on Thursday. She looked so cute and did such a great day singing the songs.

First grade here we come! Friday was the last day of school and RILYN'S 6th BIRTHDAY! We had number 6 pancakes for breakfast.

Her lunch was all wrapped (thank you Pinterest).

AND She got to take popcicles to school for her class and we had a little party with family that night. She wanted to have a tea party so I made her a tea pot cake.

She got lots of fun presents and some money to spend once we move to the new house. Oh and we ended the night in Urgent Care for the boys because they all have coughs.

Awesome.

Mother's Day and Swimming Fun

This year for Mother's Day we went to Aunt Kelly's new condo. We had so much fun spending the day with family. Rilyn and Casen got to swim with Camry and Koen. I had a very quiet car ride home because everyone fell asleep (that never happens!).

We also went swimming over at Grandpa Billy's house and at Frankie and Krista's new house.

 

I can't wait for July because swimming lessons start and I think my little fish are going to do great! In twins news, the boys hit 8 weeks!

They're getting so big and they are just so happy and smiley all the time. I love them! Their big brother has been cracking me up this week too. He's starting to grow out of naps but some days he ends up crashing, hard.

He fell asleep in a pillow fort that he made on my bed and he fell asleep on a chair at Tia Rosa's while we were eating lunch. And because I need more reminders of how much my children all love each other here is a picture of all 4 of them cuddled together playing on the ipad.

Our Fun Week

This week Rilyn had her last ball game. She got a trophy and had a pizza party with her team.

She had so much fun this year. I hope she keeps playing. The boys and I went to the zoo one day.

Casen LOVES to be outside. The kids have been asking to go hiking for a while so Aunt Kelly and I took them to Hole in the Rock one afternoon.

They had so much fun. They are a little too confident and made me super nervous up in the hole. They climbed around like little mountain goats. On Saturday, Rilyn and I got to do something special for Mother's Day. We went to an art studio and painted and had a tea party.

It was such a fun thing to do. Rilyn is a natural artist. We are going to hang up our pictures somewhere in our house after we move to Iowa.

Me and The Boys

Now that the babies are getting bigger its easier to get out and have fun.

We've been going on walks around the block before it gets too hot to do that.

We have been going to the train park as much as possible.

My favorite part of the train park is when we get on the big train and Casen wants to hold my hand.

We also love going to Rilyn's ball games and cheering her on.

She is such a stud! On Saturday we made a special trip to the train park with Rilyn so we could ride the train that only runs on Saturday.

The kids had so much fun. The babies and I just stood back and watched the big kids.

The twins are starting to look even more alike, especially when they're sleeping.
