Mothers Day and the Rest of May

Here's a few May pictures to get caught up.

We had a birthday party for Mark's Grandma, and took some family pictures as part of the celebration. Here's Mark's siblings and cousins with Grandpa and Grandma.

Next was Great Grandchildren with Grandpa and Grandma.

Elijah seems to be our accident prone child. He's had stitches, glue and now a broken arm. Here's the story. He's been bumped up to riding part of the big motocross track at our place instead of his own "kid track". Well, he was riding with Mark and crossed the track in front of him, T-boning Mark, and breaking his arm. :( He's a trooper, so at least if he gets hurt often he isn't crabby or whinny about his situation. :)

I wanted to get a picture with the kids for Mothers Day before church but time didn't allow. So after getting home from the hospital with Elijah's broken arm we got our picture.

Anton is my little helper lately. He had the job of putting the bean seeds in the ground here.

Elijah's helping one armed.

I asked Allison "How did you get so dirty?" and Anton pipes up, " She had dirt on her face so I helped her." Um, I'm thinking you made matters a little worse buddy. :)

The cats caught this cute little bunny. I heard it screaming and saved it. Thankfully Amelia was already in bed or we would probably had to keep it. :)

Another reason to get the landscaping done soon. The kids are making forts with our supplies! Its just a matter of time before the wreak something. :)

Ethan's chapel team participating in the last field day event. I can't believe he'll be a fifth grader next year!

Amelia's chapel team won the field day activities! Here she is during the last relay.

The kids got out at noon the last day of school. So we grabbed some lunch and helped dad plant beans for a little while. (No one was very interested in my picture, as you can tell.) :)
