Here's what happened in May...

I've been a truly terrible blogger lately so here is a quick summary of what we have been up to if you haven't already seen it on Instagram or Facebook. :)

We had some seriously amazing weather in May. So, we took advantage of it and went hiking...

Got started on the yard work....

Played at the park...

Went bowling...

Ran relay races...

Went fishing...

And tried out SUP boarding...

We loved the SUP boarding so much that we decided to buy a second hand canoe. And went out for a ride and a swim...

We also ran through the sprinklers...

Ryan and I have both been called to work with the youth in our ward and have taken them on several hikes. Here is a shot of the fast hikers. The others were still climbing...

Ryan has really fallen in love with mountain biking...

Driving into our Saturday hike with the youth...

We've loved finding new and challenging trails to hike. Gotta love the name ;)

Ryan's parents came to visit as well so we took them on a little hike. 

And had a wiener roast in our yard...

And more hiking with the youth...

And more fishing...

Joseph loves to cook and often asks if he can make dinner. Um... YES!

Dance party play date with a friend...

And we celebrated the opening of Target in our town!!!

THE END!!!! 

April's Adventures

The biggest event in April was Greta's 5th Birthday. 

Grandma K sent a huge package to Greta.

Inside we found a beautiful handmade blanket. She absolutely loves it. 

Thank you Grandma K!

Here is Greta snuggling with both gifts from her Grandma's K and B. 

Because I have become obsessed with High Tea... that became the theme for Greta's birthday. I scoured the thrift shops for tea cups, saucers, kettle, lace, etc. Then we had a pre-party to celebrate Grandma B, cousin Tori and Greta's bday. 

How great is my mom! She even dressed up for the event :)

On Greta's actual birthday, we had a repeat party. Each of the girls had their own hat, gloves and made their own "pearls". 

And of course we had the bounce house set up.

Birthday cupcakes....

Teddy-bear tea party...

Necklace crafting station...

One of our big project for the month was putting in a new garden. 

Here are the before shots....

We even got the neighbour boy to come and haul rocks :)

I must have erased the final project after I posted it on Instagram. I will add it to my June update. ;)

I can't tell you how many hours it took to haul, shovel and mix all the manure, and the wood chips and make the boxes. It felt like forever!
