Mexico

Brad and I usually don't take pictures on the trips we go on without the kids. I found these on our phones from our trip to Cancun at the end of April. This was at Tulum.
Here is the view from right outside our hotel room.  You can see the ocean between those little huts and yes, those sexy legs belong to Brad. 
More pictures from our day at Tulum.  It was a fascinating and beautiful place.

 We took the ferry over to Isla Mujeres a couple of times.  That really is the color of the water.  Amazing!
Dinner at a restaurant on Isla Mujeres.  
Of course we had to bring a pink sombrero home to a house of girls.

Kindergarten Graduate

 Susanna and her cousin Ryan at Kindergarten Graduation.  Susanna had a great year and learned so much.  Check out the perfect attendance certificate.
Susanna and Mrs. Atkinson after the program.  Susanna really loved her teacher.  
 Four of my former preschoolers. Su is so tall and beautiful. 
 Performing  for the crowd.  I love when kids really get into a song.

Enjoying a treat with little sis.

First Family Adventure of the Summer

The week before school got out we decided to take a quick mid-week trip to Shoshone Falls.  After a busy school year and working with hectic schedules, it was great to get away for some fun spontaneous family time.
 Right by the Falls is an elk reserve.  It was cool to see these guys up close.

 With the high water year that we have had, the Falls were spectacular.

Dad's Birthday

Brad had his birthday at the end of May.  He was a good sport and did the same pose as the girls do with their birthday gifts.
Do you think he is loved in this house?

Preschool Graduate

Flower Field Trip

In May, my preschool went on a field trip to Edwards Greenhouse.  It is one of my favorite places to go. It is a magical place.  One of my preschool moms gave me a gift certificate and I was actually able to buy some of my flowers there this year.  So much fun.
Kerrie and her friend Kate smelling some herbs.
I love this cute group of kids.
Always sassy

Easter

The Saturday before Easter the gang dyed some eggs.  Kerrie and Su had to take their shirts off so they wouldn't get dye all over them.  
Individual shots of them were cute, but I don't think they would like seeing their shirtless selves later on.
Everyone lined up while Dad checked if the Easter Bunny came.  Hannah is way too tuned into her ipod touch to take a photo.
There we go.  That's better.
Thanks Easter Bunny!
Grandma and Grandpa Baker, Uncle Mike and Aunt Tawnie and their kids came over for dinner and an Easter egg hunt.
This is serious business.

Susanna worked hard to fill that bucket.
Counting eggs to see who found the most this year.
