What happened in May?



We were able to see Erich parents, sister, and her oldest son for a few days while they were in town.
We opened up our second shave ice trailer at 19th avenue and thunderbird.
I finished the taxes for the JLK Foundation with the help of my sister.
Allie learned to sing.
I turned 30.
John and Stephanie moved to Phoenix for the summer.
We celebrated our moms on mother's day.
Laney worked on emphasizing things by repeating words like, "it's really hot, hot, hot"
Erich went and did some more pit crew chief work in CA for a few days.
I taught 42 different lesson plans.
We made countless trips to the trailers dropping supplies off and picking things up.
Erich turned 31.
We participated in the Jaydie Lynn King Foundation block party.  
Allie learned that by pushing and pulling and saying "out" or "chair", she can pretty much get any member of the family out of the chair they are enjoying.
I planned and helped cook for the ward Memorial day breakfast.
Laney pretty much forgot that Erich and I are her parents and only cares about John and Stephanie.  Good thing they are only here for the summer.
We went to a shower for Stephanie.
Allie got tooth number 6.
We went to the zoo.
Laney and Allie moved in to the same room.  The first day or two were a little rough but it's not too bad anymore.
We spent numerous hours outside and in the water.
I put Laney back in diapers.  After a week or so of taking her to the bathroom and then having her go again on the carpet 10 minutes later, I gave up.  I was a little too stressed about a few other things in my life that she is in diapers til my school year ends.
Erich blacked out the windows in the girls' room.  They are now sleeping in past 6 am.  Sounds crazy to some of you but since Laney had been getting up before 5:30 for the past month, I feel like we have died and gone to heaven.

I am not sure what happened to the time.
I promise to be better in June.
I am excited to be going to 2 wedding next month- though should at least be blog worthy.
And I only have 5 more days of work.
It's bound to be better than May for the blog.
If you check out my photo a day blog, you might get a better idea in pictures of our month.

We blacked out our kids windows, too. It's the only way they slept in past 5 AM and also the only way they went to sleep while it was still light outside.

I'm glad you decided to update, I keep wondering what the heck happened to you! Can't wait to see you this weekend, what time do you get in? Oh and we got your vinyl put it up and it looks great, how much do we owe you?
