May Madness

 Random May Photos
May is always a busy month for me but we managed to fit in a couple of fun things this month.

 Taytum loves to put on her daddy's hat
 We play hide and seek every single day.  She always hides in the same place which is this closet.  The door won't close with her in it so she puts her hand over her face and she thinks she's completely hidden.  I love how their little minds work.
 One day I pulled out the flour and some spoons and let her explore.  She was very content and happy.
 
It was a pretty messy activity but I had to sweep anyway and it was worth it.
 I think she had as much flour on her as she did the floor and everything else around her.

Memorial Day Camping Trip
We went on our annual camping trip for Memorial Day.  Our friends Bryant and Julie and their 2 kids (Hunter and Blaine) along with Rick joined us on a very cold, very windy weekend.
 Hunkering down in the tent and hoping the snow and wind would allow us to go out and play soon.  It was soooo windy the night before and it just howled all night long but Taytum still was able to sleep well and was happy to be in the mountains.
 Staying warm
 It finally stopped snowing so we went out to look for some animals.  It was still pretty windy as you can tell by her hair.  I love this face.
 Blowing bubbles.
 Cruising up and down this road. 
 These binoculars have been the best thing and have been well used.
 Rick made this ginormous sandwich and ate the whole thing to tell about it.
 Bryant and family had a terrible first night so they went in to town to wait out the storm but the weather finally shaped up enough that the little ones finally had time to play.  These two played really well together, however one time they were both in watching a movie in their car and we would check in on them every few minutes, well one time when we went to check in on them they were playing "sword fight" with box cutters they had found and yes they had pushed the blade up.  My heart just sank when I think of what could have happened but luckily nothing did.  On a lighter, funnier note, Hunter is potty trained (Taytum is not) and had to use the bathroom and apparently Tayters followed him.  He was sitting on a log trying to do some business and Taytum was coaching him on saying "push harder".  We got a good laugh out of that one.
 We took an afternoon and went fishing on Purple lake.
 We didn't do as well fishing but it was beautiful and the wind was finally not blowing.
 My Happy Little Camper.  

Mother's Day 2012
 A picture of the cutest little girl that made me gain the title of "mother".  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful, joyful, smart, and  beautiful girl.  She makes my life so much more full and I'm honored to be her mother.
 I got together with my mom and sisters for our annual Mothers day weekend at Katies.  We ate, watched movies, and made crafty flower pots.  It was a lot of fun.  Meanwhile back at home my hubby and Taytum planted the flowers behind me and also bought me this pretty bouquet.

Big Girl Bed
 We finally got her room ready and moved her to her big bed.  She loved it and was excited.
 This was a very easy transition for her and has never wanted her old room or bed since.
 First night in her big bed.
I had to get a picture of her first morning in her bed.  I knew she would be all over the place but at least she never fell out.  She is getting so big and I can't believe we're going to have another little one in just a few short months.

That was our May happening, stay tuned for June!
