I hope all you ladies had a nice Mother's Day.  We went to Oklahoma for the weekend.  My oldest brother Darrell blessed his baby on Sunday. It was great to be there and of course, too short. It would be so wonderful to live within an hour of all of my family!

Here are photos of what we've been up to lately...

Recently I made a double batch of french bread.  The yeast must have really liked the air that day.  This has NEVER happened to me.  I was quite surprised when I walked into the kitchen!


We arrived at Darrell's Friday night.  Saturday the kids had a great time together.








For lunch we made our own pizzas.  It's been awhile since I've done pizzas this way--it was yummy!






I went shopping that afternoon with all the girls and my mom...minus guess.  Yep!  Haley.  She wanted to stay with dad.  They had a Nerf gun fight in the backyard.  One stop on the shopping trip that was particularly fun was Bath & Body works.  We put on lots of lotion and glitter body spray and lip gloss...so fun!

That night we went to a ward picnic out by some lake somewhere.


Wouldn't this be an awesome place for a family photo?


Sorry Darrell...you took it.  I'm postin' it.








It was great to see my parents while we were there!




The awesome mother Stacie and her new baby. 


Baby Kylie


My not-so-baby Elden










Saturday my cousin Grant and his family met us at the ward picnic.  I think the last time I saw all of them (well, Grand and Sandra) was a camping reunion in Utah many, many years ago.  It was before I was married, but I think I was in college.  It was fun to visit with them and be with their wonderful family.

Sunday pictures




Doesn't Stacie look amazing!  Looking at her you would have NEVER guessed she just had a baby!


We went on a Sunday walk to a near-by lake.








Yep, a bit windy.














On Tuesday Cal's class had a little celebration by going to a park and eating ice cream Sundays.  Thanks Tara for watching my kids!  I had fun going and Lee even joined us for a little bit! I really should do more at school with the kids.  Right now it's cool when mom comes.  I am sure that will change!








Someone brought a pinata...that is always fun! 


On the way home from school the other day Clark saw a girl he knew and said (I am going to make up names): Hey Jenny, do you know that Matt wants to marry you?  I think that's weird that he wants to marry you.

At least we are dealing with boys first and not girls, right?!
