Everything In Between

Here is everything in between all the May festivities!

A beautiful day at the St. Cloud Lakefront!

Jackson thoroughly enjoys cub scouts!

Always someone fishing around here... 

 I think this will forever be one of my favorite views. Children playing happily in my yard. They bounce from the pool to the trampoline to the pond to the sandbox to the basketball hoop. I just love sitting back and watching it all happen around me. It's my happy place (until they start fighting or crying or complaining... then I just go inside :)) 

 Yeah, he's cool like that. 

 So scrumptious

 A successful spring flag football season!! 

 Ivy's been going to weekly volleyball clinics and this is her little Thursday group!

Ivy's Baptism

Ivy was baptized on Sunday, May 19th at 4:00pm. It was such a perfect day! We had so many friends and family (school teachers present and past) come support and love our girl. The ordinance went perfectly and the program was wonderful. Jamison gave the talk on baptism and Granda Munns the talk on the Holy Ghost. Ivy sang a special musical number, the Thankful Song, with her best girl cousins and friends. Jackson and Grandma Vicky said prayers. The sister missionaries gave a spiritual message while Ivy and Daniel dressed. We had everyone over for dinner and dessert afterwards. It was such a wonderful day. We are so proud of the sweet girl we've been blessed with.

The Brevard Zoo

I had a free Friday and wanted to do something fun with my little guy. So we went to the zoo!! We had a such a fun time! I let him dictate where he wanted to go and what he wanted to do and it was a blast! We fed the giraffes, fed the birds, rode the train, and spent the afternoon at the splash pad. What was Benny's favorite exhibit? The bear!!! 

Happy Mother's Day

I had to speak on Mother's Day this year.  How is that for a Happy Mother's Day!! But it was fine. And I didn't talk about mother's. I did talk about my Savior, Jesus Christ, and how we should talk more about Him regularly. I felt good about it. And I feel really good about these kiddos of mine who have made all my mothering dreams come true!!

 I had just 1 Mother's Day program to go to this year. And this kids is the cutest!!

It's Great to be 8!!

May 10th.  It's one of my favorite days of the whole year! This girl turned 8!! Her birthday was on a Friday and everyone played hookie that day to go to Disney World and have a yummy character breakfast at the Polynesian Resort at O'Hana's. It was so fun and so delicious! That night we had a slamming pool party with all her best girl friends and cousins. No cake for this girl... just pie and homemade ice cream. She had a couple cousins over for a sleepover and she enjoyed more presents in the morning. It was a great birthday!!

Baptismal Photo Shoot
