This past month has been an absolute whirlwind of activity!

One month ago was Easter. My 4 little ones looked

very sweet in their Easter attire:

What an adorable little cutie we have!!

He makes me smile! (He's just about 10 months old here).

Then on April 18 my sister Haylee was married to Kevin Kolkoski.
The girls were flower girls. We had a great time being
together as a family. I never realized that Las Vegas
has such a beautiful, clean side to it!




When May rolled around, we celebrated because we

had tickets to WICKED!!!

And of course we were celebrating for two girls
who were both born on Cinco de Mayo, only
three years apart.

Happy Birthday to
7-year-old Sarah
and
4-year-old Eliza!
Eliza got to have her first-ever friend birthday party. Princess, of course.

We went to Pizza Factory for our traditional birthday dinner-out.
The girls like to receive their free (that's the part I like)
birthday-number pizza (yum yum!)

As usual, we also had our traditional birthday cake.
Sarah always likes a surprise. I was going for
movie star/Hollywood star/Sharpay-Fabulous-ish.
It turned out kinda plain. Oh well.

Eliza wanted a princess cake again (surprise, surprise).
Well, we've never done Sleeping Beauty.

In honor of Cinco de Mayo,
we had to have
a Pinata!
A few days later, we participated in a one mile fun run
(a fund-raiser at our school). We were surprised
to discover that we have RUNNERS in our family.
(Sarah was first in her age division, Emily was second in hers, Nate was first in his--
Nate wasn't really trying, he was just running alongside Sarah to help her along).
(They don't get it from me, that's for sure!)
I've since signed them up for another 1 mile race
on Memorial day.
Last, but oh definitely NOT least, on Monday the 11th,
my little sister gave birth to her first child.
A daughter named Sienna Susan Palmer. Isn't she the
most precious thing you've ever seen?!
Congratulations to Tamara and Ryan.
I can't wait to hold her!

Your children are so beautiful! I love the idea of the Pizza Factory, I didn't know they did the birthday number. So cute.

Wow, you've been busy! How fun to have birthdays like that, with going out to eat and cool cakes. Its nice you make them their own cakes even though they share a b-day. :) It was so nice to have you all here for our wedding, with the cutest flower girls EVER.

Thanks Natalie! We think Sienna is pretty cute, too :) Tell everyone 'Hi' from us, and can't wait to see you all in August!!

p.s. I took your advice and took Jack Newman's instructions to the hospital and I think it saved my life! Nursing isn't fun...but I think I'm doing alright. Thanks!
