More of May

May ended up being pretty busy. The weather was still hit and miss but getting warmer. I told the kids if they weeded out the garden bed that I'd buy a big slip 'n' slide for them to play on. I've never seen them move so fast to work together. I think it was worth it in the end. We were going to do it the night before for FHE but we had some major drama and had to put them all to bed early. They weren't happy, but after seeing them work so hard together, I think it worked out better that way anyway.

The weather was warming up a little bit and every day that we would go to the gym we'd pass this beautiful spot so I took the camera one time. So pretty.

We had play days with our friends (Skinners), new hair cuts, fashion statements and rainy days.

Our house in Logan had it's rental contract come to an end. We felt like it would be good to put it up for sale on the market, but it needed some work done first, so we headed over to Utah over Memorial day to get some work done. Luckily the kids were out of school, so we took off for an adventure. We took our air mattresses and a bunch of painting supplies and tools. We tried to get as much done as we could with yard work and ripping out carpet to replace with new carpet and re-doing the counter tops. Mom came up and got the kids and took them to play with cousins, which was a huge help. She dropped off Dad to help which was also a huge help. Unfortunately we got stuck with a toilet leak, which was not part of the plan, but with Dad and Brian's brains together, the figured it out. The counter top took a while, but it turned out really nice. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the new carpet put it. It was a lot of work, A LOT, and it stinks to do all of that on a house you planned on living in and never got to enjoy that new stuff. Brian and I were both a little sad that we weren't living there anymore. We felt a little home sick, which is kind of funny 'cause we've lived so many places in the last few years, but this one had sweat and tears put into it and just always felt so right to us.  I had put in a bunch of plants just a month or so before we moved to PA and they looked so nice and full.

This counter top turned out so nice! All of this hard work couldn't have been done so fast with out the hard work from Brian and Dad. We got a lot done!

 We weren't planning on going down to Sandy, but we had to get the kids and it was a welcomed break, so I got a few pictures with Evie since she was the hot commodity this trip. I thought these pictures of Brian and Charlotte were so cute too.

 Thought this was a cute moment with Papa John

 

It was a fun and quick trip out. The girls got to drop in on their old school (Hillcrest) and see some of their friends. They also got to play with some neighbor kids one of the days, so it was a successful trip. They all did pretty good in the car too, so not so bad.
