We have been settling in to the new house. We are getting used to the lights and where we've put everything. We are using the playroom a lot to organize all our toys but have been playing lots of games in the living room too. Candyland is a favorite and they love all the card games we have too. We've played Old Maid, Go Fish and Memory Games. We also have some foam shapes we make things out of. The weather has been nice and we've gotten outside a lot. I got to work on the yard for almost 3 days straight and it felt good. The boys are still really into their music, especially Caleb. Loren and his friends got the piano moved over and we'll get it tuned next week. Caleb is still taking pretty regular naps in his bed, but one day he got so sleepy he just curled up by himself with his blankie on his pillow in the living room.












Spiderman is definitely the theme this month. They've both been into spiderman for quite awhile, but with the new movie coming out and all of the marketing, they've escalated they're love of the superhero. These outfits were from last Halloween but they get them out every few days. The spiderman hats, PJs, shoes and underwear are also the first to go in the hamper every week. The spidermen also like to rock the piano and guitar. They love getting packages of toys and cards from Grammy. Here they got their very own towels to use for all our trips to the beach this summer.

May is almost half over and it almost feels like summer is here. There are lots of pretty flowers out now and we're trying to keep up on the yard. The trailer is still on our lot as you can see. We found a couple that want it, but there are only two movers in town and they're booked so we're just waiting....The tax assessor came out and gouged us for having two residences so hoping to get rid of it soon and appeal our assessment.


Caleb loves his new plastic "mamower" and Nolan even helped me mow the lawn with it. I would have bought one long ago if I knew it would be this much fun. Well worth the $5.


I got to do some fun work projects inland and the meadows were starting to bloom. It was very pretty and I loved sitting to eat lunch with all of the butterflies (and Happy too).

Our new friend Harvey was born last month and another friend Samara was born on the same day at the same small hospital at the same time (with same length and weight!). I didn't know Samara was there until a few days after I visited Harvey, but she was right next door.

Caleb loves his new little skateboard and the boys developed this ramp when I was doing housework and not paying attention.



He hasn't ridden it much since our road is so bumpy, but Caleb got a bike from his buddies Cole and Carson, since they outgrew this one. If you can see, his tongue is sticking out because he's saying "cheeththth". He's got a cute little "lithsp". Now Nolan wants a new bike, but he barely rides his old one, so good luck on that I told him. =)

This old threewheeler hasn't worked since Happy chewed the battery charger cord last year, but that doesnt' stop the boys from trying. We have been riding the real 4 wheeler around the yard a lot.

More mowing photos.

Caleb has some great faces. This is one. (grrrrr) He marked his face with marker (Nolan's back got marked up too).
