May!

 I just took the pictures off my camera for May and realized it has been a busy month!  Enjoy!

Devin and his sweet little friend.

The girls both had swim lessons to get ready for the summer.

One day we stayed and played in the park.

 Jessica was practicing her photography.

Poor little Devin got sick and the next day slept 22 of 24 hours.  This picture was taken right after we got home from the pediatrician.  I was trying to feed him a little before his nap... Poor little guy!

 After taking him to the InstaCare one night, the pediatrician the next day, we finally ended up in Primary Children's ER where they figured out what was going on.

He had a retro phalangeal cyst- an infected cyst in his neck.  See the dark grey spot on the right side.  

CT scans are supposed to be symmetrical.

 We ended up spending 4 days there and I cannot say enough good things about the children's hospital.  They took such good care of him.

 He is so little!

He felt a LOT better after surgery.

 Jessica has had a big month with lots of end of year testing and preparing and practicing for her opera.  It is this Wednesday at 6:30pm.  This is from a rehearsal- the Octopus is capturing the Mermaids.

 Kelsi graduated from preschool this month.  Her last week they went on a field trip to the fire station.

She even made a graduation crown for her favorite flamingo "Pinkie."

 Here is Devin and another sweet friend.  These two would play everyday when we dropped off their older siblings for preschool.  Most days Hadley would join them, too.  It is fun to hear Devin really start to speak well and differentiate between Maggie, Maddie and Haddie. :)

 Then recently our next big project has been making bunk beds for the girls.  We may even end up making a little trundle for the crib mattress under it that we can later use as a drawer- we will see if we still have it in us. :)  It is a big project.  We happened to make some changes that will make it MUCH more sturdy, but they take a lot of time.

  

The kids helping clean up from the planer.

This is the little bugger that took so much time today.  It is called a tenon and mortise.  It makes it so the weight of the bed is on the wood itself instead of on the screws.  It will be sturdy, but it took a lot of time. :)

The kids have had a really good time helping and my parents have been WONDERFUL to both help us and watch the kids so we could work together!  Saturday they took the kids up to the air show at Hill Air Force Base while we worked.  The kids had a really great time.

 And here is what it looks like so far!  These are both of the headboards leaning up against each other.  The wood is sanded super smooth- I am excited to see how they turn out.

We have had  an eventful month!
