May 2012

May started with our derby party!  It is something we look forward to every year.  This year we decorated hats and miniature horses and watched the Derby while eating our derby pie.  I love to see the familiar shots of Kentucky... still miss it.

 We were so excited to have some very special people come visit us for part of May.  My mom and Melissa and her 3 kiddos came for almost 2 weeks and as always we LOVED having them here!

We visited on the back porch...

 

 Took lots of pictures...

Played with butterflies...

 Played at the park...

 Took lots of allergy medicine (poor Campbell)...

 Melissa helped me finish tiling my back splash!!!

Carson tortured Sander...

 He took it well.

 And we even found a little time (in the late night hours) to work on some projects.

I painted these for my dining room.

 Eventually they had to go back home to Utah and we were sad...

but we felt a little better when there was a butterfly migration through our neighborhood...

 And a friends pirate birthday party...

 And then this kid always cheers us up...
