Oh, By the Way...

 Life lately has been a jumble.  A big, fun, jumble of seconds and minutes and hours and days.

Basically, I feel like life is just a constant collage of fun times and memories.

So, here are our lives lately in 2x2 inch squares.  

Soccer season came and went.  Brooklyn flourished this year and even scored her very first goal (which you can clearly see was an actual, real-life, goal even if the referee did not agree.  It's a goal in our book.)  Aubrey scored around 16 goals this season, but in her defense, her BFF was on her team, so she was a little distracted.  ;)

 I got to accompany Aubrey (and her BFF) on a field trip to the Long Beach Aquarium where we touched sharks, jellyfish, and many other unnamed squishy marine somethings + played with penguins + had the greatest day.

We had visitors + they are the coolest + I hardly took any pictures, but we had so. much. fun. with them and we missed them the second they left.

 One day we totally ditched school and hiked ourselves out to Los Angeles for a day of museum therapy.  We met an octopus, fist-bumped a scuba diver, witnessed the spaceshuttle Exposition in all it's glory, and even made grandma tag along for the ride.

Mother's Day happened.  I got to talk to my brothers on their missions + had a tea party at Aubrey's school where they sang us the cutest songs + got spoiled by Hershey kiss rings and hand-made presents (the very best kind).

 Cameron started gymnastics and is like a kid in a candy store on Christmas eve.  He's obsessed.  + We spent the weekend in OC for Memorial Day and all 3 kids got sick + We went back to the farm + Cameron got shots and yelled at the sweet nurse, and I quote: "Why'd you do that?!?!  You are a STINKER!!!... And not a nice stinker!!!!"  + Luke and I had date night at the temple where everything that could possibly go wrong did.  But we had fun anyways.  + I hand-made the girls' dolls Frozen outfits + We are melting in the heat and spent Saturday in waterballoon ambushes, wet trampoline wrestling matches, and being assaulted by Cameron's deadly weapon. + 7 days till summer!
Bring it on.
