We love Laun

For preschool today I talked about Father’s Day (it’s a little early to cover, but we just discussed Mother’s Day and preschool ends before we can get to Father’s Day). The kids made a handprint craft and answered some questions about their Daddy’s.

Here’s Marlee so proud of her work (not sure what she did with her hair):

love her handprints 

Marlee’s answers about Laun (according to her Laun is a freakishly tall and skinny 5 year old I guess):

Porter’s responses (I wish the boys would have written more legibly):

Clayton’s responses:

We sure love Laun!

quail vs. chicken

I love how tiny the quail eggs are compared to the chicken. I never thought of eggs as cute before.

feeling loved

My sister in law Martha sent me this awesome package today. I love getting mail and I love surprises.

Scarf, lotion, soap, chocolate, candy, etc.

I love prickly pear, cant wait to try this.

I have lots of cream cows, but I’ve never seen a cream elephant, so cute.

Thanks Martha, love you!

fabulous weekend

My sister Laura’s baby shower was Saturday at the Layton’s home. Larett and Cherise did a great job.

Poor Rachel was sick, so she couldn’t come and she had done all this work. Rachel and Richelle made the cute paper streamers and bow tie napkins. My mom made a ton of fabric bow ties and bows. We also made bow tie pasta dish and bow tie sugar cookies…you seeing a theme here?

 

We were at the Layton’s home pretty much all day. After the baby shower was Kenley’s birthday party. There was swimming, dinner and cake.

Kenley, Laura, Marlee, Me, Mom, Carter, Richelle and Savannah

I think the day wore out my babies…

It’s Mother’s Day, so we drove back to Tucson so we could be with Porter, Clayton and Laun. 

Marlee took pictures of the trip home- cute view:

I think the boys were most excited to see Carter.
