Time flies...so does the month of May.

Especially when you are trying to recover from hernia surgery but I can honestly say I am starting to feel a lot better, just get tired really easy.  So her are some catch up pictures....

 Putting the bees in their new home.  More bee pictures to come, they have a lot of comb built already.

 Someone had a birthday... :)

 What we do with some of our evenings.  We had a week or so of hot then some nice cool evenings moved in!

 Neighbors gave us a portable table... kids love it!

 A lot of mowing going on...

Pete in May

Loves going to school, not so much his half hour speech class once a week...
Always stops and picks dandelions for me and hands me a full bouquet and says " I picked these for you mommy"
Loves to brush his teeth and spit with fluoride toothpaste (it is blue).
Now has a full buzz cut and I warned him all the ladies would now be rubbing his head...first day back from school I asked how many had rubbed his head he said a million... he then changed it to eleven...that is how many are in his class.
Loves Nutella.
Likes to sing, especially if it will make you stay in his room longer at night.
Knows how to smile to get his way.
If we talk about Iowa he wants to go right after we pick up Pieper from school... when I tell him we wouldn't be back for school the next day he just looks at me and says " I didn't say we had to stay the night..."

 "seeing" the city

 New lego toy concentration.

 Falling asleep in his box 'bed'

 Hulk face.

Pieper in May

Loves to tell you how many Pieper's are in her school, but she is the only one spelled the right way..:)
Will sometimes help Peter remember the songs from his school as she learned the same ones in the four's class.
Thinks it is cool she has know Annabelle and Sienna since she was three.
Seems to miss a lot of the 'drama' that seems to happen at school... according to other children's mothers... I am grateful for that as long as I can have it.
Is excited to have her birthday in Iowa this year, even though I have told her we won't be in Iowa on her birthday this year...
She also likes to tell me which of her classmates has 'family' birthday parties just like we do...

 Wanted her picture by a big tire...

 This was on of our dresses when we were lillte... no idea whose but she loves to wear the few we have...

Galloping around the yard.
