This is the face of a baby who refused to fall asleep all day. This was 6 pm at night walking back to the hotel.

Annual Walk-a-thon at Mayflower Elementery School

 Mia Martinez and Naomi

Audrey would not get in her seat when it was time to go get the preschool carpool, but I did get her in Heidi's booster. She felt like such a big girl.

We went to Library Park. She hugged the tree, or at least the metal pole holding up a huge branch. 

Play date and Tea Party with Mia Skiteris

Celery with PB and Craisins, Graham Crackers with Nutella, Blueberry tea sweetened with Stevia.

During the play date, a package came from Aunt Wendy.

 These cute dresses came in the package.

Weekend with Grandma Worsley

My mother came to visit and stay with us for two days, Saturday and Sunday May 18th and 19th. My girls are always so excited to spend time with Grandma, since she lives so far away. So I tried to have herd as much with us in two days. We went to the Arcadia County Park while Naomi was at Gymnastics, we went swimming, went to Cathrine Cards wedding reception, to Church, home for Sunday lunch, made a fun birthed banner that she brought for us, then went to the cemetery, pictures to follow.

Sitting in the sun, squinting sun face, deciding it's hot enough to swim. 

Catherine Cards wedding decor so beautiful, at the home of Donna Miller. 

On Sunday afternoon before we took my mom to meet up with Aunt Nancy and Uncle Harry, I had wanted to take my mom to the cemetery where my brother Mathew is buried. I have spent some time here recently since his birthday was May 16th. It is a place of peace and quiet. I have felt so calm as I have taken my kids there and sat and enjoyed the beauty of it. We took these flowers a the day after his birthday. I couldn't believe they were still there. But I was happy to have had the chance to go to this quiet place with my mother and my kids. And fortunate enough to have a camera phone to capture it.

Once we dropped off my mom at the McDonalds off the 10 freeway, I had the girls watching "Sound of Music." I'm so overjoyed that they love this musical as much as I do. They were mesmerized the whole way there and home. Thank Heaven for a car dvd player.

When my mom went out front to talk on her cell phone, Audrey followed her out, waving to me as I questioned where she was going. Love her face!!!

                                        

The Many Faces of Audrey, and Daddy Daughter Hoe-Down

Little Audrey, 22 months old, has become quite the quirky little girl. She loves making faces, especially one of surprise when you ask her where Naomi or Heidi are.  

She just woke up. Can you tell by her eyes?

She loves Toodee, yet she has no idea that it is her mommy. 

Jennifer Nelson, my sister, said that she looks just like Duncan Kofford, who is now 11. So I am yet to find a picture of him when he was almost 2 so we can compare. 

                                                  She found this hat and glasses on her own.    

                                                 

Ryan and Naomi were invited to the Daddy-Daughter hoe-down at the Stake Center. We searched and searched for cowboy boots for her, but only found this hat. She was not amused by the mustache and beard Ryan made her put on for a picture. 

I tried to ask what they did, but all I was able to get out of both of them was, "we played games and line danced." So these pictures Ryan took were all I could presume of the fun from their date together.
