Ms M & More

This is one of the best parts of the month of May:

 

RB gets his smoker and grill out of the shed. Yummy cheeseburgers, pulled pork sandwiches, ribs, and briquette. It is all sooooo good!

 One of RB's students gave him this sign. It is very fitting for our family!

Now on to Ms M.  She is sleeping in a bed now. Well most nights she stays in the bed. Some nights I when I try to check on her this is what I find behind the door.

Ms M was so tired one day at dinner she was falling asleep while eating. I remember Lil doing this once or twice. Its pretty funny watching them nod off while chewing. 

 

Ms M is quite the character. She knows what she is not supposed to do and will do it anyways. She loves to tease. Her and Lil will give each other a run for their money, that is for sure. Here she is up on the table, knowing she shouldn't be, and loving it. The little stink.

We are all happy the weather is warming up and the days are getting longer. Summer is almost here and we are super excited. Have a good day!

MJ's School Play

MJ's school did their annual school play. This year they did Alice in Wonderland. It was pretty good! I like how they set up the plays for easy transitions, and maximum student participation. Of course MJ was content being a Iris flower and not having a big part. She still gets nervous and scared. She is getting better though as the years go on. She had fun and that is what is important!

 Us waiting for the show to start.

Here is MJ during her part in the play. Her costume drowned her! She had a tough time keeping it up and out of her face.

Next to a good friend. 

For some reason I can't find the video of her part in the play. I can only find her bowing at the end. If I find it I'll post it.

After with daddy.

                                                   

MJ did a great job singing and being on stage for her part. Maybe next year she will want a speaking part. We will have to wait and see.

Update: I found the video of MJ during her part on stage. It was still on RB's phone. Here is a small piece of it. 

Easter

Easter was spent with my family this year. My brothers kids came to visit and so we came to see them. I'm glad we did. It was a blast. We had a whole family reunion! Finding eggs and coloring eggs is always a must.

Opening the loot!

Easter morning goodness!

 

I learned a new trick, to put the egg in a whisk. This was much easier for Ms M. She loved it!

 We had a great time visiting with family, and enjoying Easter traditions!

April

The NCAA tournament is always a highlight for RB. He loves it! The last few years he has also gone in with an office pool for the tournament. This year he actual won. Many games had to work out just right and there were major upsets at the end for this to work out. Good games, and we had fun cheering for teams to win or loss. Here are the standings after the games and his bracket that actually made it so he won.

Spring football game at USU has been fun for RB the last two years. Last year he got pics. of Turban and  Waggner with MJ (I must not have posted it, so here are the pictures of those too). 

This year he took Buddy Boy and his nephew.

Here is RB's parents (aka Captain Aggie) with Coach Wells. 

Captain Aggie with Kerwynn Williams-running back. 

Chuckie Keeton-quarterback. 

JoJo Natson-special teams.

RB had a 4th grade co-worker go to San Diego. While there she went to a store that was bacon everything.  She wanted to get RB something since he is always eating bacon or talking about bacon. She came back with this: chocolate covered maple smoked bacon pop. It smelled like chocolate, tasted kind of like a cream soda, and gave me a belly ache. Not that great! Really cool bottle though that we will definitely keep around.

Lastly, Ms M loves books. Here she is reading in the box that all the books on the floor are supposed to be in. 

Here she is reading to her lamb (lamby) off of Doc McStuffins. 

 Now shove the book in lamby's face.

 And now, shove lamby, in the book.

It's really cute to watch her read to her animals! 

Well that is all for now! Easter is up next!

Old Pictures

I found some old pictures I'm not sure I posted. So if I have sorry.

What do you do on a cold Sunday night? Play Life as a family on the projector. The kids loved it. We had a ton of fun lounging around in bed, taking our turns in Life.

I might be obsessed with sleeping pictures. I love them. The kids are so cute in their different sleeping positions. This one of MJ and Buddy so close. Love it. 

 And then this one. How could I not take a picture of this? I just love it!

Okay, I'm done now. Enjoy and have a great day!
