Regular days in May...

A beautiful spring day today!

Shane is off with Tayler and Saige @ a dance competition in Pocatello.

And Lydia and I were at soccer games for Kenna...

And Jadyn...

Kenna has always been our "aggressive sports player" in the family.  Always fun to watch her play.

(Actually most games have not been super pleasant... they've been FREEZING...  Like hide under a blanket freezing!)

Jadyn has pretty much been a "butterfly chaser", until last game when she decided she LOVED being a defender... she was tearing it up!! 

Totally proud of that girl!

On the way to the game she wanted to clarify that, "it is OK to push someone and make them fall down as long as I'm going for the ball right?"

It made me chuckle...

Speaking of fun stuff with Jadyn, there is nothing cuter than the "Opera for Children Program" that her teacher Miss Porter participates in.

Both her and Lydia can sing the whole 15 minute opera without music.

We know because we have heard it SEVERAL times. :)

They made a cute little cheer squad!!

Kenna impressed us at her orchestra concert...

 

and Lydia has discovered her love for drawing/painting!

And she learned how to melt my heart...

Ring the doorbell,

Have a bouquet of dandelions behind her back,

and then with the hugest cheese, pull them out in front of her and say,

"I picked all of these just for you mommy."

 

A rose can say "I love you".

An orchid can enthrall,

but a weed bouquet in a chubby fist,

 that is the best of all!

A pretty good way to start Mother's Day Weekend!!
