Zavoral Villa!

I hosted a Clothesline Baby Shower for my friend Bailey on May 17. She is having baby # 2, her first girl!! She said she didn't need any presents, but when I asked if she had any baby girl clothes yet, she said no. So I knew exactly what the theme of the shower would be: CLOTHES!! Game #1: Make a Headband I got all kinds of bows and flowers and buttons and elastic things for everyone to make a headband for the baby. The person who made Bailey's favorite headband got a prize: hair stuff from the dollar store!  Game # 2: Sorting Socks I collected a bunch of pairs of socks from around the house (don't worry, they were all clean). Then I filled four different bags with socks so that every bag had some bulky ones, small ones, fuzzy ones, and thin ones. I also used about 10 pairs of baby girl socks from the dollar store (for Bailey to keep after the game). And just to make it extra authentic, I included socks without matches, mostly because I couldn't find enough matches in m...

Our church had a Cinco de Mayo party that was a big hit!! When we told Tanner about the pinatas and that he could hit it with a baseball bat, he was super excited. He was actually chosen to be the first one to hit the pinata, lucky duck! He was very aggressive about it! We had fun listening to the high school mariachi band and visiting with friends. Tanner liked watching the mariachi band violin players, so he used his spoon and sucker stick to play his own violin. What a funny kid. I love this pic of him eating dessert with his friends. Jackie and Serious are two of the awesome young women I get to serve in our youth group. These girls come to my house at least once a week to learn piano and help me with the boys. Some of Tanner's buddies.  Other Fun I've convinced Tanner that our yogurt is ice cream. This is just normal yogurt, not frozen yogurt.  The funniest part is that Tanner thinks the picture on the ice cream cone box of chocolate chip ice cream is actually raisins. So...

Our spring has been great so far. Here are pics from after Easter through May 4. Playing with toys and puzzles from the Toy Lending Library. Dallin talks to us a lot. One of my favorite things he says is "Woh, woh, woh!!" because of this adorable face he makes while saying it.  Rainy day. Dallin trying to use the computer.  Tanner watching a dinosaur youtube while playing with his dinosaurs. Pretending to have a baby in his belly. Rainy day. Our little climber. Right after a bath. Out to eat at Applebees. Followed by a trip to Home Depot to get garden stuff. No rain! We went outside to blow bubbles and play on driveway. I've been wearing Dallin on my back a lot lately. After naptime and right before dinner, he sometimes gets really clingy. The bjorn helps us stay happy. (I'm sitting in a chair while taking this pic). Blossoms! Date Night--disc golf at Todd Park after a couple days of rain. Jeremy bought real discs for us, so we were totally legit. It was nice being ou...
