At the lake with family

We celebrated our Patriarch Mother Anna Elizabeth Taylor, Anna's namesake.

And we were so glad to share memories with her. 

Here with 3 of her 7 girls.

Anna with Gigi.

And we got to ride the Polaris around the property.

Uncle Jimmy let Anna do what ever she wanted.

He was smitten and it was mutual

The boys loved the weight room

Anna swinging around

The boys had a dip, even though it was chilly.

so did Anna, but she did have blue lips later.

ANd Drew played a little.

Cinco de Mayo

We had our friends who were in Kenya with us over and we celebrated Cinco de Mayo.  And I had the cutest Sous Chef.

Anna loved playing with Hannah and Emily while the boys were at Karate.  

Girls play quieter than boys for sure.

The boys had their 1st night in Karate.

Anna loves playing Momma while Mimi babysits SophiaRose.

We have been babysitting Duke and He decided to wake up our sleepy head this morning. 

He loved it.

My girl in a great mood one morning.

Celebrating Gigi and Aunt Bryce

Happy Mother's day Gigi.

It was our girls' first hibachi experience and well I think she would have left it alone, she was a little scared.

We stopped by Strawberry park to play afterward.

My big kid.

Anna loved the tire swing

Date days

A quick trip to the library with our kiddos and them we dropped them off with Babu and Grana so we could have a date day.

And this is what a man who loves his wife does.  Goes antique shopping with her even though we have no place to put any furniture.  

Later we met great friends so we could catch up on their lives.

Then the rains came and it rained for days.

So we did lots of front porch sitting

And baby holding after their naps.

after the storms and a fallen tree the boys helped me cut some limbs off.
