This month is still in quarantine but we have felt a little more relaxed about it! We are just feeling done with it all...We have been hanging out with the Claytons and went down to Meadow to see my parents. We just need to get out of the house, makes us all feel better being outdoors or seeing loved ones! Still doing church at home and going on little hikes afterwards.

5.1.20 Don't worry I didn't rob anyone! haha I haven't been to the store in a LONG time! I finally had to go to Costco to get some pjs for the kids but they were requiring masks in all public places! This is the first and last time that I have worn the mask...I felt like I was suffocating!
This is what happens when you ask an older sister to play with her younger brother for a little bit.
Still working hard on my waterfall quarantine project! (first picture at the beginning of the month and the next was at the end of the month). I have been also working hard on putting weed barrier everywhere needed around the house! I have been outside working almost every day! I love being outside!
This whole month Catherine has been coming in bed with me in the mornings when Caden gets up. He likes to wake up around 6:30-7 am and she likes to sleep in like me and McKay. We usually sleep in until about 8am! I have enjoyed the morning snuggles!
So grateful that I got to spend Mother’s Day with the best mom ever!! Love you mom! Thanks for all you do and your wonderful example of being a mom! Thanks Dad for the wonderful Sunday lesson!
Made it back home on Sunday! It always feels good to get home after a trip!
My family just love to make funny faces and take selfies! Caden took these pictures!
For one of Caden's school assignment he had to write about one of his favorite people...He wrote about Sam!
Picked these while out on on my 3 mile run! I love wild flowers!
Caden really wants to buy a kid sized four wheeler that cost around $800 used. So we told him if he earns at least $200 we would help with the rest! He has been determined to earn that money and has been outside working in the garage prepping and working on his pinecone business! He has helped make a website and facebook page for it! I have even showed him how to edit pictures and he edited a bunch of pinecones all by himself!
5.24.20 Went on a hike to Lower Bell Canyon Reservoir! That is probably my favorite hike that we have gone on so far! It was so pretty up there! We got to the lake and had lunch and after eating lunch we were going to hike up to the upper falls. However our adventure on the other side of the lake took a muddy turn! It felt like we were in the jungle! Chris carried us across the stream and after crossing the stream we had to maneuver our way through the mud jungle! There was a family in front of us that their 11 year old got covered from head to toe in mud...we were lucky to get out of there with just muddy shoes! haha *In the last two pictures they are pointing to where our house is!
5.25.20 We bought our very first truck!! We have really been wanting one and now was the perfect time with it being Memorial day weekend and lots of sales going on with this pandemic! We love it! It is so big and spacious! It has way more room than my van does! Congrats Chris, you deserve it!
5.29.20 Last day of school! Technically they had one more week but it was just make up classes! So glad to be done with home school for now! We celebrated by having a dutch oven dinner and strawberry short cake! Caden did so well with reading every morning! He read one magic tree house book each morning! He finished all 29 Books! Virtually he got awarded wonderful writer and got the falcon award! So proud of this smart hard working boy! Catherine also graduated from preschool! Can't believe she will be going to kindergarten in the fall! She also has worked hard doing upstart computer school every day! When we took her to the school to see her teachers she was super shy. She refused to wear the cap and gown, I was lucky to get the pictures that I got. She also did not want to go to the little graduation ceremony! Silly girl...guess it has been a little too long of not seeing them (or anyone for that matter).
We finally ventured to a park since they have finally opened them back up to the public and because they rebuilt this one by the fire station! Too bad it was super hot!
Catherine wrote me this cute little note! "I love you mom"
The kids surprised us with their version of the Cherry Pit Spitting Contest! haha They had cherries in the bowl with a spoon and the line for spitting at too!
