It's May?! WHAT?!

Well...I am determined that one of these weeks I am going to be better at blogging so I dont have these MARATHON posts!  haha!  But right now...time is limited!!!!  All 3 kids are on a completely different schedule so it is hard to get even 10 minutes of kid free down time...So...since blogging isnt happening as frequently as I would like...just imagine how showering, laundry, etc is all going...LOL.

But we have been having lots of fun and yay for trusty iphone always being there when I need it!  hehe

Ainsley has needed a little extra mommy time lately, so has been my little workout/walk buddy...though I have to be honest...havent gone in a week since I found the snake on our porch! 

Back of our neighborhood...HoneyBee preserve-not bad to look at!

One of Ainsley's favorite pastimes lately...she spent over an hour this day playing her dollhouse!

LUCY!!!!  Such a ham...LOVES watching herself on the camera screen...funny girl!!!!

When did she get so OLD?!

And our little snakey friend we found last Tuesday!  Yay for the pest control guy finding it and YAY for them having a snake division that took care of it!  FOR FREE!  WOOHOO!  The next day we had our entire perimeter treated and have lovely pack rat boxes behind our house so their food source will hopefully go somewhere else!!!  Awesome hubby also installed some SERIOUS metal mesh in our openings.  He literally cut up a security door.  haha...dont anticipate anything being able to get through again....but still checking like crazy!

Evan has been having lots of fun with his "boys!".  We are just loving getting to know and become friends with our neighbors!  Kind of our dream come true really!  There is a group of us that all stay home and have kids all around the same age! 

And in some very recent fun and excitement...Jackie and the girls came down last week!  Actually on the day Lucy turned 6 months (post in the works-Sorry LuLu)...With life being so crazy lately this was the longest we had gone without seeing eachother! 

Posing and trying out her new big girl stroller for the first time! 

Cracking up at Kaylee!  Told Jackie time for her to have another!  Kaylee and Brookie were SOOOO good with Lucy!  SERIOUSLY...adorable with her!  Kaylee was so gentle and mothering and Brookie was such a crack up...LOVED making her laugh!

After some playtime at home, lunch, and naps...we headed to our new splash pad!  It was a little smaller than the one we are used to from PHX but the kids didnt seem to mind!  Also...you have to pay to use it...so it wasnt busy at all which was so nice especially since its not huge :)

This was so cute...Ainsley (slow to warm as usual) wasnt soooo sure about it!  Brooke came over and talked to her and they were having a whole conversation back and forth!  OK...when did they get so old?!  Love these two little friends :)

And whatever she said...WORKED!

Arent they so cute?!

Remember doing this as a kid?!  Making a bus to drive?  Of course the older ones also had a blast together!

Want to know what it took to get this pic of the 5 of them?!  HAPPY MEAL BRIBERY!

SO worth it!

We had so much fun with you guys!  Thanks Jackie for driving down and hanging out with us!!!  Cant wait to see you guys again soon!

And just a few pics from our Cinco De Mayo fun with the Ritcheys!  Swimming, food, and of course lots of fun!!!!

The kids put on a parade for us...Addie and Ainsley were the princesses...haha

Lucy had a great time too!  She didnt go swimming this time...I thought it could still be too cold!  The others were total FISH and screamed when it was get out time! 

Lots of exciting things coming up too!  Aunt Sarah is coming in town this weekend!!!!  Next weekend Mims and Uncs come in town because Christian and I have an INSANE Saturday (this will pretty much be the first time I will leave Lucy!)...then the next 3 weekends after are full of holiday, anniversary and birthday fun!  Before we know it...Spring will be gone and summer will be here!  It is crazy how fast this school year has gone by!  Evan just loves school but I think I am ready for a little down time this summer and maybe not as crazy of a schedule :)
