The Keyes!

There has been lots of fun going on around here. The kids love playing in the back yard

Worms don't scare her

Kim did a toy swap with the kids' toys. That makes them really happy for a little while

Lyza's outdoor artwork

This is one of Kim's latest crafts. She took a plain and boring bulletin board and added a thicker frame to it and painted it all

In a moment of frustration during my constant battle with dandelions in the back yard I found myself vacuuming all of the seeds from the dandelions that had gone to seed. I will win this war some day!

On Saturday we spent some time working on one of the front flower beds. We added a tree and some shrubs. You can kind of see them in the Mother's Day picture below

I have also made some custom shelving for the kids' puzzles

This girl loves to paint

We had a yummy breakfast for Mother's Day

All ready for church on Mother's Day

Lyza gave her first talk in primary this Sunday. She spoke about the fourth Article of Faith. It was really special since it was Mother's Day. She did an amazing job and we were both really proud.

What a great wrapping job! Lyza helped me of course, and we didn't have the best materials to work with

We had a hot dog roast with Kim's brand new fire pit

Lyza had a friend over one day and they had a lunch date together

It is nice that these two can play in the bath together without too much bloodshed

This boy loves going down the slide

Lyza has a magnifying glass that she takes around with her everywhere

Brushing his hair

Lyza had her first experience playing Chutes and Ladders yesterday. She totally destroyed me!

Lyza has been coming up with her own songs recently

She also like to sing songs from the radio (i.e. Pandora)

Here is a glimpse into our nightly routine

Take care
