I can't believe I forgot May update.... maybe it's because nothing too exciting happened, or this year is going by way too fast. I'll just mush it all together in one post.

We played outside a lot We started tomatoes inside and the girls liked to watch them grow but soon we had to transplant them and then they died. Luckily we came across a sale of tomato starts and they were only 89 cents a plant. We bought 8 and I am happy to say they are doing great in our garden. In fact these last two months we got everything planted and so far everything is looking good (except my mint plant...it just looks sad). The girls love watching everything grow and the help us water and weed. We have corn, onions, carrots, peas, beans, squash, cucumbers, peppers, watermelon, and tomatoes. We ended up with a 80 square foot garden and I just love it.

We also got a trampoline. It works well for a large enclosed area to keep the girls while we are working outside. We really need a fence haha. They like to play in the water on it and chase each other. Kamille's favorite thing is to push Lillian down and then sit on her and bounce. Poor little girl.


This past weekend we got to attend the first reunion of the season. We drove to Lehi, Utah and stayed in a nice hotel with most of my mom's family. One day we got to go to boondocks and play on the Go Karts and bumper boats. Kamille LOVED playing with my cousins and couldn't get enough of everything. Lillian on the other had wanted mommy the whole day and she was too little to do anything but kiddie cove (a little kid play place). It was fun to see family and see how much my "little" cousin's have grown. On the drive home we got to see Devin's grandparents and spend some time with them.

The last adventure we have this month is a small camping trip with just Devin and I and our girls. We got a nice camp spot reserved at Lake Metigoshe. We can dust off the camper and put on our new generator and take her for spin. There is a nice playground close by and a swimming spot not too far. We are looking forward to s'mores and dutch oven cooking.



Family Updates: Kamille is so full of energy. She really talks a hundred miles a minute. Her birthday is in October and she has already decided she wants to do a wedding themed party. She told me the dress, the cake, who the prince is... Down to the last detail. Her next favorite topic is the "baby in mommy's tummy". She has officially named her -Sassy Pants and tells everyone we meet about her. She hugs my belly, kisses it and talks to it. She even tells me when the baby is happy or crying and also tried to convince her that she doesn't like tomatoes (Kamille HATES tomatoes). Since her induction date is Oct 3rd I told her that the baby will be able to be at her birthday. Kamille took this as we were giving her a baby for her birthday. So now she tells Lilly that she can't hold it or touch it because the baby is going to be hers. I don't know what to do with this girl sometimes.

teething is rough

she really likes milk

Lillian is almost 1.5 years old! It's getting to the time we get her in Nursery right? If only she couldn't scream for 3 hours straight if I'm not in the room, or break out in hives on her face from crying so much. Sometimes I walk next the nursery at church and she starts freaking out and pushes me through the hallway faster. She is a stinker. Her favorite thing to do is hit Kamille and then kiss her better or talk to daddy on the phone when he is at work. We sometimes call her the little "slave driver" because she demands my attention and is always telling me what to do. We love this determined little one and my heart melts every time she kisses me and tells me she loves. me.



Devin is working hard like always and loves working outside when he gets home. I always find him weeding the garden or using his new riding lawn mower. I got him a riding lawn mower a little while back but the previous owner left gas in it for a long time. So with the help of family and friends they cleaned it all out and got it running great. It used to take almost 2 days for us to push mow our lawn, now it takes him 45 min to get it done.



I am getting bigger and staying busy. I feel like I always have a to-do list. I'm 24 weeks today and the baby is doing awesome. I haven't had any complications and am coming up on my glucose test soon. I hope I pass this time around! They are really watching for high blood pressure and signs of preeclampisa this time around and I have a c-section scheduled for Oct 3 at 39 weeks. My doctor told me I most likely won't make it that far (other two were 36W 5D) but that's the plan. I just got the material for the baby blanket and I have to start going through the 10 totes of clothes in my garage. Time for sorting, washing, getting rid of a lot, and then organizing. Last time it took 3 days and it took up my whole living room and half my dining room, it's going to be fun!

We have a lot to look forward to this summer. It's going to be great!
God be with you,
