Month of May

Wow, I have been slacking on blogging. So...let's start at the beginning of May. My sister and her husband blessed their new baby girl on Sunday, May 2, which coincidentally was my birthday. It made for a good change in the regular Sunday routine, so it was a good way to celebrate. We had my sister's in-laws in town and my grandparents came. Saturday--the day before the blessing--my Nana taught me how to make a blanket for Isaac. He loves it, I love it, and I sure love my Nana for teaching me!
A "Cars" blanket--so appropriate for his age and stage right now...I think he gets his little cars out every day and there are little piles of cars and trains all over our house on occasion.
All the "girls!"
Here's Taylor's "helping efforts" for the brunch--handing croissants to my Nana! :)
My adorable niece Katie--look at that blessing dress!!!
The Housley's and Hill's
My mama with her girls and our kiddos!
The month of May has been pretty crazy for our entire family, but we were able to squeeze in my birthday dinner at the delicious Melting Pot!! YUM!!! If you remember, The Melting Pot was my birthday choice last year, too. ....it did not disappoint this year either!
Another big time commitment in May was our Stake's Youth Dance Festival. About a year ago I was asked to be apart of it and I was in charge of the choreography for the all girls' (ages 14-15) African dance. I sure love these girls and it was so fun to be apart of their experience. The performances were in the middle of May and they did wonderful!! Here is a picture of me with some of the girls at one of our rehearsals back in February or March.
In other news, Isaac started taking private swim lessons. He freaked out for the first minute or two, but as soon as we found a ball for him to toss he was a happy camper and had a "perma-grin" the rest of his lesson. Hopefully he will work up his courage and go all the way under the water....
And, besides swim lessons, he continues to attend a soccer class once a week at a nearby country club. He has really taken a liking to it and does really well at listening to his coach.



This picture is of Isaac trying to drop the ball on his head by himself so he can jump up and hit it...so funny!

The weather has been pretty nice here lately--in the past three days we've been to the pool twice and enjoyed being outside! And....other than that, I think that about makes me current in my blogging--or at least closer!! Yahoo!
