Things Happening in May

She makes the biggest messes in the house but she's also my most willing and semi-actually helpful cleaner.  I guess that's a good balance.  

Santa brought Jaylie this doll for Christmas last year and then her Great Aunt Cookie (my aunt Nancye) got her a matching shirt.  We did our best one day to go all out matchy matchy.  June's pigtails really do just do this.  I twist them around my finger once or twice and *boing* there go the ringlets!  

Welcome home Daddy!!!

They made a car out of a box complete with detailed controls "rely fast' and "rely slow" included.  

Kanyon had a couple of Dr. appointments in Billings and a field trip to their wildlife zoo the next day.  Quinn had a baseball game so he stayed home but me and the other 2 headed off to Billings for Dr. appointments, a fun hotel stay, and a field trip to the zoo.  

Kanyon's class

Here is Kanyon petting a goat or something...but his favorite part was getting pecked by a chicken.  Shocking, kinda painful, but mostly hilarious for him! 

klp and a few pals by the tiger. 

aaaaaaaand thats a wrap.  Zonked out on the way home. 

I lied...I did take a few pictures at the 3rd branding of the year.  Here's a shot of the Phillips Men present that day.  Missing Uncle Clint of course.  

They let the gals join in.  

Q branding 

The whole group took a quick break for lunch.  This is all of us that day including Tyler, a guy that works for us that has become a part of the family whether he likes it or not! 

Some friends gave us their hand me down roller skate.  *great* 

Cousin Jona came to Q's baseball game!

It's so fun having her around!

A sunny bike ride for this gal. Boys not pictured because they refused to slow down for a picture. 

Speaking of not slow down....Kanyon LOVES the jeep at Kory's parents' house.  He is way too big for it but he loves it so much. He rides that thing until the batteries die.  That is the only way he would ever stop.  I think he looks just like what Kory looks like when he has to drive a little car...knees to the chin and GO! 

He'll gladly take Jona for a spin!
