May 2014

Updates for May:

- Went to Mall of America with Nanny, Poppa, Kev, Cullen, and Jana, and Bri. Walked around, the kids rode some rides.

- Cam crawls.

- Enrolled Ty in Soccer at Soccer World.  He went to half a class and refused to go the rest of the time.  I don't know if he was shy or what? I've never had that happen before...

- Brit's Birthdy on May 9th: Ninjago PJs, Ninjago Legos, Ninjago Reader, Bookmark Timer,  Razor Scooter.  We all went to the RAC (Rochester Athletic Club) to swim as a family.  I pulled Britton out of school for the day.

- Family Birthday celebration on May 10th.  Bradys and Nanny & Poppa come to Rochester for a BD party. We break a minion piƱata and eat a Spider Man cake that Brit picked from Walmart.

- We have caterpillars delivered and watch them turn into butterflies.

- We got a preying mantis egg.  They're creepy when they come out! They seem to be dying... we release them outside.

- May 17th - Landon's 34th Birthday.  We celebrate with an apple pie to change it up.

- Went to St. Michael and Buffalo.  Watched Marin and Sophie play in their soccer games.

- Sometime this summer (could be May?) we hire someone to mow our lawn. We may never go back ;-)

- Cam starts opening cupboards. 

-Perfect days for scooter rides - even before catching the bus before Kindergarten!

- Playground days - Gibbs Elementary or Wedgewood hills.


Cam's pulling up into standing.

Dad puts up a tire swing.  The kids play with the neighbors.  Here is Lydia (6) who's in Britton's Kindergarten class (Mrs.Skolnick) and her brother, Kalex (8).

Ty with bouncy balls in his cheeks.

Waiting for the bus.

6 years old!

Family trip for swimming at the RAC on Brit's BD.

Family comes to celebrate Brit's BD.


The landscaping has gone out of control! We pull out the vinca vine, rose bushes (which mainly died), and barberries.

Ty's soccer practice. See him standing? He wasn't wanting to do any of it.


Landon's 34th birthday.

Playing with Sophie in Buffalo, MN.

Peeling carrots.

Outside play time - with our tulips!


Preying mantises.

Cam learning to open cupboards.

Raspberries taking over! We pull out the rhubarb plant. It's too big for the raised bed.

We remove the soil and install plywood underneath to keep out raspberries.

Another issue.... We pull out the blueberries. Unfortunately, the roots look the same from when we planted them. Disappointing!

Landon puts in pavers... Which later are removed and we put in cement curbing.

Sunday scooter rides/ walks.

Sunday walks.

Playhouse lunch and movie.

Another soccer game. Britton enjoys them.

Blooming crabapple and PJM rhododendron.  Oh yeah, I pulled out the azalea so that there would be 2 matching Rhododendrons.

Outside picnics.

Fun with tape.

Cam with his cute puckered lips.

The outside pool at the R.A.C. opened up. Brit loved going down the slide!

Brit wrote (supposed to say) "When Mom drops off Ty at the birthday party, while Britton and Dad go to buy the new Mario Cart"
