Spring 2016

Here are some random pictures from my phone from April and May! :)

My sweet boy

Doing a little highway cleanup through the ranch. The pets joined in the fun.

One of our favorite highschoolers graduated!

Maya brought Jacob to her class for show and tell during her "Happy Hiker" week.  He was quite the little performer and loved being the center of attention.

Best Buds

We had a ranch Easter egg hunt once we got back from Cabo/Colorado and it warmed up a bit!

Jacob got pretty close to catching a bunny during the Easter egg hunt!

Mother's Day

I try to get a picture with my kids every year on Mother's Day.  This year, Hudson wanted to be part of the picture so badly.  Jacob is sitting in my lap in the top picture, but you can't see him since Hudson also wanted to sit in my lap!  Crazy dog!  We finally got him off after lots of laughs and bribing him.  He weighs about as much as the three kids combined.

Play ball!

Maya played another year of t-ball!  I was able to help coach again.  We had a pretty young and rambunctious team, but they all improved over the summer.  :)

Gabi played another year of "coach-pitch" baseball.  She was able to really slug the ball this year!

Gabi spent quite a bit of time playing first base and getting some outs!

Branding

Jacob spent some time making sure everyone was doing their job branding the calves...while eating brownies.  :)

"Here!  Try some nice green grass!"

Crazy Cousins!

 We had dinner at our house after Maya's dance recital and Gabi's First Communion.  Even though there was snow on Windy, the kids enjoyed playing in the grass on a warm evening!

I was behind them all holding Jacob up on top.  I didn't even notice Hudson sitting next to me! :)

We are very lucky to live so close to the kids' cousins!  They're pretty good buds.  :)

Gabi's First Communion

Gabi celebrated her First Confession & First Communion on May 1st.  We are very proud of the young lady she is becoming

.  

Gabi with Nicole, our fun family friend and babysitter.  Gabi is wearing the dress she wore for her First Communion!

Gabi with her Godparents, Amanda & Greer

Gabi with both sets of Grandparents

All of the cousins helped her celebrate

Trying to get one more picture in her dress before she got out of it!

The cupcakes that Amanda made for her.

The kids were wound up from playing with their cousins, but stood still long enough to catch this picture with their grandparents!

Maya's Dance Recital

Maya took a combination tap/dance class and loved it.  She did a ballet dance for the recital.
