Well here we are in the beginning of July already and I'm finally just wrapping up the month of May. :) As you can tell by my lack of blogging, I've been too busy enjoying my summer to sit down at the computer and Blog. I'm forcing myself to sit at the computer right now and am putting off for a few more minutes,the foot rub my husband is going to give me in order to get this post up. :) During the month of May I enjoyed my time home with the girls, but was very happy when Josh got out of school at the end of the month.

| giving Jordyn her first bath...she loved every minute of it |
Hannah was thrilled when it came time to give Jordyn her first bath. She wanted to help (of course) so we gave her the task of washing her sister's legs and feet. She was so excited and did a great job. Jordyn was very content (just like Hannah was) for her first bath. The only part she wasn't thrilled about was getting out. :)
We enjoyed another visit from my mom when Josh was away for a weekend. It was so wonderful having her there to lend a helping hand with the girls. The girls loved their one-on-one Nonnie time and I loved the long chats and special moments that I shared with my mom & the girls.

May started bringing some beautiful weather which meant lots of fun outdoor play time at home. Hannah loves being outside and playing in water. Her new water table she got for her birthday has been a hit.
Nice weather meant time on the boat was in the very near future. We spent an afternoon getting the boat de-winterized and ready for the water. Hannah of course pretended we were actually out on the lake even though we were just in our driveway. :)
My best friend Angelica and her kids Domenic and Izabel came for a visit during the month of May. It was so wonderful to have a visit from them. The kids loved playing together and Ang & I loved catching up, laughing and watching our kids play together. I'm keeping my fingers crossed Matt's job brings him to Sacramento in the near future because I can't imagine having our kids grow up only seeing each other twice a year....and I miss my best friend!!

Dinner and margaritas :)
A couple days after Ang left two of my other best friends Lisa and Amber drove over from the Sacramento area with their kiddos to meet miss Jordyn and hang out for the day. It ws fun watching all our munchkins play together. Hannah and Gavin (4 months apart) had a blast playing together, while Henry enjoyed following them around and watching their silliness. Little miss Reese was content hanging out with the moms and Jordyn slept pretty much the entire time. |

| pretty good pic considering they are 3 weeks, 7 months, 19 months and 3 years old! |
Stacy (Hannah's daycare provider) had an Open House for the kids who participated in the preschool program to share their work with their families. This is Hannah's second year taking part in the preschool program that Stacy does with them. It's been so neat to see her growth and development over the past two years. Stacy does so much with the kids and we feel so fortunate. Hannah will have one more year with Stacy and then move on to a larger preschool setting before starting kindergarten in the fall of 2014. I don't even want to think about my girl starting kinder, for the time being I love having her in a smaller, sheltered setting.

On Saturday of Memorial Day weekend we kicked off summer with our annual "Girls Dance Party" at Ramona's house. We typically have two of these a year and it's always SO much fun! Everyone brings an appetizer to share, their drink of choice and of course their dancing shoes! We spent the evening eating, laughing, drinking and dancing. It's the perfect way to celebrate the school year coming to a close and summer starting. Usually I take a group picture of all 30+ of us, but completely forgot this year. The only pic I took was of Mandy and me on the dance floor.
Well I've somewhat caught up with May...next task is to catch up on all our fun from June!! In the meantime I'll be enjoying the 4th of July relaxing with my family at our next door neighbor's pool tomorrow and then heading with friends over to the annual neighborhood block party for fireworks and a 4th of July celebration.
