Pictures, pictures, pictures!

Every time I think I'm caught up on blogging I find more cute pictures that I forgot about.  It's tough when the kids are so cute!  The weather has been great. It is already getting really hot. Tessa, Wyatt and Hallee had to have sun glasses to ride their bikes.
Hallee and Tessa wanted a picture with the pink flowers.,  I love this picture, they are so cute and they look so grown up!
These two crack me up.  When they are getting along they are the best of friends and have so much fun playing together.  Unfortunately, they also fight a lot.  Wyatt is very irritable and sensitive and Hallee drives him crazy a lot. 
On Friday I got to go to Women's Conference.  It was great to be there with friends.  There were a lot of good speakers, the opening lady was amazing!  She talked about going back to the doctrine and focusing on why we do the things we do.  When we are focused on the doctrine we won't worry about how we do things or how other people do things, we will just be concerned with following Jesus Christ and our actions will follow when that is our focus.  Elder Gong and his wife spoke and they were great.  I loved his wife!  I couldn't stay awake during Elder Gong's talk so I listened to it later, but it was wonderful too.  I went to a class about talking to teenagers.  I got so much good information and ideas in that class that I really need!
Mom was nice enough to drive down and watch Hallee so I could go to Women's conference.  I appreciated it so much and Hallee loved it!
They had a great time and Hallee loved having grandma all to herself so she could talk her ear off and play with her.
On Sunday I was in my room and I heard Jackson barking like crazy, the kids yelling at Jackson and bird noises.  I had my window open so I was thinking it was coming from the back yard.  The kids were really loud so I went to see what was going on and there was a bird in our pantry.  His wing was broken and apparently he walked right through the sliding door (because Wyatt never shuts doors).  The kids were going crazy, but Caitlyn told them not to get me because I would freak out (I think I need to work on staying calm more).  Keith was at meetings so I told the kids to go get Jonah (he really does a good job of being man of the house when Keith is gone).
Jonah said he would get the bird, but he wanted to get gloves first, smart boy!  He took the bird and put it out front.  The kids were worried because the mom was in the back yard, but we couldn't put the bird back there because Jackson would get him.  The kids were worried about the bird, but there wasn't a lot we could do for him.
On Sunday we went to my mom's to celebrate Damon's birthday and mother's day.  Damon was so fun to watch.  He was so excited about everything.
The weather was perfect, it was so nice to visit outside while the kids played. 
The kids were excited to go for a ride in grandpa's truck.  Nice face dad!
I could hear them all the way down the street, they were laughing and having a blast.
I can't get enough of Rockwell's smile and laugh.  It is so contagious, I just love it!
Damon, Wyatt and Rockwell were showing us how they do the floss.  These beautiful nights make me so excited for summer.  I hate when we have to make the kids come inside so they can get to bed.

I love the pictures and the captions! Such adorable, brave, and responsible children! Very impressive and Dad's face was great, wasn't it?
