Way behind and no way to catch up!!!

*Some fun things that have happened in our family over the past two months...
Emma learned how to blow bubbles with her gum!!!
Sara learned how to snap her fingers!!!
The other day Sara said "I think the guy...in the sky...on the moon...he got the rain and took it...and the girl had the sun!" So sweet and cute. I guess she was excited to finally see the sun like her mommy was!
Farm life - we lost another chicken, but the kids are loving the baby chicks we have. We also lost our kitty, Bailey. She's been gone for about 4 days now and we're so sad. We've had her for almost 9 years. We have Bucky, our pony, at our house full time now and the girls are loving riding him all the time!
Sara sang in her class for the moms for a Mother's Day special event. She was in her element - being up there in front of people performing! It was so sweet and brought tears to my eyes.Emma participated in her first horse show with Bucky! We are so proud of her. It was a big stretch out of her comfort zone, and she was a rock star!Sara is excitedly waiting to perform on the stage - her dream come true! She gets to perform ballet and tap in the end of the year recital for her dance company! This is her and her class practicing their ballet dance. They are the cutest group of three and four year olds ever!The kids teamed up with the Houston girls to make Team Cousins - running to raise money to build a school in Africa! I was so proud of my girls. Emma ran almost the entire mile without walking, and Sara did about 3/4 of it by herself. The other 1/4 was helped along by Daddy's shoulders! ;) Great job girls!We went to the Starlight Parade - our favorite parade of the year!!! We spent the afternoon with the Houston's and the Ullom's. The Ullom's really know how to have a party!Emma got in the $100 club for Run for the Arts and was recognized at an all school assembly for her efforts in running and raising money for art programs in her school. They earned over $17,ooo for their school!Emma was recognized at the end of year Parade of Planets at Vega for gymnastics, and she got to showcase all that she has learned this year. Boy does that girl have the body for gymnastics! Check out her middle splits! Sara is on the wait list for Coach Fox, Emma's coach. As soon as dance is over she's going to start up gymnastics as well for the summer. She is smitten with Coach Fox. Can't you tell?Mikey, Jenn, Mackenzie, Parker and Marlee came to stay the weekend with us! The kids had so much fun riding Bucky, swimming in our new pool, playing on the play structure, catching frogs and tadpoles and climbing trees! Jenn and I went and got manicures and pedicures and Mikey inspired Scott to try and start learning to play the guitar again!
We are so looking forward to summer - especially July when we get to spend so much time with amazing family and friends relaxing and doing what's important in life - just being...
