Mother's Day Weekend

Because I have a hard time deciding which pictures to post, I'm posting all the ones I like, but in groups, which appears smaller, but by clicking on any picture, you can make it larger...School is officially DONE after so many years of school!! Danny walked on Saturday with his good friend, Matt. They've worked together and gone to school together (and played Halo together) for the last 4 years. That is going to be a very sad day when we have to say goodbye to the Tuttle family.
For mother's day, Danny made all the meals and did cleanup for everyone! We had eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, & toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and then he grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, & corn on the cob for dinner. Oh! and cheesecake from the Cheescake Factory for desert. It was great not to have to be in the kitchen the whole day except to eat!!

The kids signed me up for a quilting class next month (I'm so excited!) and Danny bought me the supplies for it. I can't wait! In fact I kind of didn't-I got the book home and decided to make a practice quilt so that I didn't ruin my nice class one. This is the quilt I made and it's quite "loud". I learned a lot in the process about color choices and other things.

Emalyn is now 4 months and moving all around. At 3 months she started rolling over both ways and scooting. I can't leave her on a bed or couch anymore or she'd end up on the floor! She loves to be on her tummy and will roll almost immediately to her tummy when she's on her back. (she still has those beautiful blue eyes...)

Yesterday I found brown stuff on Emalyn's chin and so I asked Gabriela what it was. She said, "I'm being nice-I'm sharing!" She was sharing her chocolate chip cookie :) Luckily, she didn't manage to get it in Ema's mouth-she wouldn't open up! When I reminded Gabriela that babies only drink milk, she said, "OK! I'll clean her up!" and ran off and got wadded up toilet paper to take off the chocolate. So cute!!

Your kids are getting so big and they're so cute! It feels like forever since we've seen you guys. We'll have to get together after you move back out west!
