Why I like May...

2 big reasons why I like May.

Dallin and Natalie. Yes, 2 of my wonderful kids have birthdays in May. Dallin turned 3 on the 15th and Nat turned 6 on the 18th. It was a week full of cake and balloons. First my sweet Dal Pal.

He got a Buzz and Woody toy. We're really into Toy Story 3 over here lately so he was pretty excited. Also a Toy Story race car track, and a Buzz paintng picture. You'd think with all the Toy Story going on over here that he'd want a Toy Story cake. Nope... furthest thing from it.

He wanted a snake cake. This is sort of funny because his mother is DEATHLY afraid of them. And I mean deathly. No coming across pictures for me without throwing the book across the room. So when the Dal informed me that, "Nakes are nice", a snake cake it was. The things we do for our kids. The tongue sort of freaked me out a little though. Fruit roll ups are going to be ackward now. I love that Moopty Moo!

And then Natalie's is 3 days after Dal's on the 18th. She turned 6 and honestly I wished that it weren't so. I love that girl and want to keep her my little squish forever. I'd have her stay 4 or 5 forever, but no she keeps growing up. But I love her more and more each day and look forward to more things we can do together as she does (huge sigh) gets older.

She made her own birthday cake this year. O.k., well I baked the cake, but she did the decorating and the frosting.

And she was as proud as puddin that girl. I loved how at the last minute she threw this plastic doll on it. I was told,"She's running through the flowers and the grass." I'm proud of her.

We got her a doll house for her birthday. I had looked around for one for awhile. Our problem with a doll house was where to put it. It fits perfect in her closet. And she is in doll house heaven! Can you see the pink handle at the side? That's the elevator. And she cranks her dolls up and down to each level. I have just sat and watched her play in her own world. She is so much fun to watch! One of the first things I hear in the morning is the squeak of the elevator going up and down. What an awesome find! Yeah for my sweet girl.

And that was that for birthdays. We are caked out,( or maybe that's just me) but we have 3 tubes of frosting in the fridge that I hate to throw away. If I combined them all, we'd have another cake on our hands. hhhmmm waste not, right?

Tyler got some baseball tickets to a Rainiers game, and the whole family went.

It's maybe not the greatsest picture of us, but we had fun and took our mitts. You just never know when you 'll catch a ball. The kids did great, all of them. It didn't hurt that they had a hot dog, chips, and a drink. We love baseball and hope that, especially the boys, will like it as much as Tyler and I.

So that was our May. Good fun times and yeah, still looking for that sun.
