Puppet Show

While hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa, Bella decided to put on a puppet show.  She headed upstairs with Becca and June and they all made puppets.  We still really aren't too sure what the show was all about.

 

But Grandpa was a good sport to get into his part!

Camping Out

 The girls have been begging to have a camp out in the backyard, but the weather has not cooperated.  We decided to put up the tent downstairs and have a camp in. The girls immediately moved in and filled all the tent pockets with their favorite things, a bed for Alex and squinkies.

 Junie was really excited about the sleeping bags!

 Everything about the tent was fun, especially those jumpy things! (What Junie called the air mattresses.)

 Bella was great to snuggle in and watch The Secret Garden with me.

I found June asleep here on the floor in between the couch and the tent. Too much fun on a rainy day!

Ogden Graves

 The Saturday before Memorial Day, Bret's Grandpa always hosts a visit to the family graves and a party at his house after.  We have tried hard to teach the girls to be respectful of the graves and sometimes it happens.  Bella likes to pick out a flower for Grandma June.

 

 Junie was excited to see her cousins, check out these three cuties!

 

The swings at Grandpa's are the best. Bella was far too busy dreaming up a Boxcar Mystery to stop for a picture!  It sure was a nice day, even with the cloudy weather!

Dance Costumes

 Today Bella had her pictures for her dance recital. 

 She is really excited about this costume and her dance to Tangled. 

 

June is very excited about her costume too.  Why does she have a costume, well Junie had it in her head that she was getting a dance costume at the dance studio.  There was no convincing her otherwise.  Luckily, they had this one left over from another year.  

Once we got home, she ran over to where Bella had her picture taken so Dad could take hers too!

Baby Jet

 We have a new cousin!  Congrats to Katie and Jared. He is adorable!

Bella was very excited to hold him.  But only for a minute, June was busy checking out Becca's toys. 

 He is adorable, we love him already!

Mother's Day

 

Happy Mother's Day to me!  I love having breakfast in bed every year with my darling girlies!

Tulip Festival

 My favorite time of year..

 I love the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point.  Why can't my yard look like this?

 We had a great time with Grandma Pattie, Aunt Katie and Becca.

 Not a good picture, but how cute are the little ducks trailing after their Mama.  My girls loved it!

 Mostly, they were very happy to be outside.  They danced in this pavilion forever.  I tried to get them to stop, but a random stranger wanted to them to keep going and take their pictures.

 June loved the fountains!

 We found a the secret garden!

The best was running up and down the big hill over and over and over. We can't wait for summer!
