May

This month has been really fun. Sam and I celebrated our 7th anniversary and will be celebrating his birthday on the 24th. We also went to our very first concert together. We saw Jack ingram, Kellie Pickler, Taylor Swift (who we loved), and Brad Paisley. It was so much fun, and free. Chevron got tickets for everyone in Sam's group, so I was able to meet some people Sam works with.

Kyle will be done with Kindergarten on the 31st. I can't believe I am going to have a First grader. He as done so well. He also had is last baseball game on the 21st and will be getting his trophy at the Team Party on the 5th. At his last game is slid to first base, it was so cute. It was his first slide.
Alex is hopefully going to start Preschool this fall, I am just waiting to hear if he got in. He is so ready to learn. He met the head lady there when we signed him up. He was such a charmer. I could tell she just thought he was adorable. He had such manners and was so mature.
Both boys are going to start swim lessons on the 5th.

Kaylee is now in Nursery. It is not going as good as I had hoped. Of course they called me as a nursery worker the very first week she could go. She get so mad when other kids come to me. So she may end up spending time with Sam so I can help out in the nursery. Boo!!
She is quite the little mommy. We got her a new doll that makes noises, which she loves. When it cries she gives it the pacifier or bottle and pats her baby. She is such a natural. She is very affectionate.
Sam is keeping very busy at work and doing a great job. He was told he was going to be getting a recognition award, which is nice. He is the new ward mission leader (tyring to get used to that).
In my kind of spare time, I have been painting our pool fence black. It was white and rusted. The black makes such a difference. I am only about half done though.
The weather has been in the 90's lately, I am told that is nothing compared to what lies ahead. Hopefully we will manage!!

Alex is also doing great. He loves being a big brother. Everyday Alex, Kaylee and I walk (he rides is scooter) to pick up Kyle. It is a great reason to take a walk everyday. Fortunately the weather is warm enough we can do that. While we're walking Kaylee reaches out her arms for Alex to give her a hug. She really does love him. Right now he is very much into trains. He wanted a big Thomas Train track for Christmas. He also carries many of his trains in his back pack around the house. He also really loves Lightning McQueen and all the Cars stuff. He and Kyle both enjoy jumping on the trampoline. It is something they do everyday. Alex also loves tools and working with his dad on projects!

Kaylee

Kaylee is full of personality. She has just been so fun to have in our family. She is definitely entertaining. She is also so loving. She loves her brothers very much always following them around and wanting to be right in the mix of everything they do. She adores her dad. Everyday she will hear the chime from the front door when Sam comes home and she walks as fast as she can talking, (we don't know what she is saying yet) with her arms streched for her dad. Her favorite toys are her doll house, a big farm she can walk in, babies, and this toy that pops balls out. She has been a super happy baby. She is growing up so fast. She really just wants to do what everyone else does. Her all time favorite thing is her blankie. She has a few. She just loves fleece blanket with fringe. She carries them around all day and put them to her nose and smells them. Don't ask me why.
