The first weekend in May, my sisters and I (and Lathen) went to Utah to have Emily learn how to do permanent makeup on us. We were all a little nervous at first because it is PERMANENT and because ...well... OW!! ...But, to our relief, Emily was ultra careful and even more of a perfectionist. I had her do my eyebrows and lipliner. My lips were really swollen and the color of the liner was not quite what I had wanted so I was a little scared that this was "permanent". A few days later my lips were back to normal and since she didn't go too deep the liner faded almost completely. My eyebrows, however are perfect. I love them and I will recommend her to anyone wanting permanent makeup. She did a great job on every one of us. After that we went to Rachel's graduation from Snow College. It was the first time in a long time that all of us sisters were together. It was a fun weekend. You can refer to my sister's blog for more pics and details on this trip After that, we all went our separate ways.
Earl and the kiddos were waiting for me at Earl's parents' house and we celebrated Leona's 4th birthday.
I cannot believe my baby girl is FOUR! She is such a sweet, cuddly, and loving girl. All she wants to do is give kisses and hugs. I love her so much.
The next day we went to my parents' and dad took her on a "birthday horse ride". My kids are so blessed to have such amazing grandparents that live so close to us and never fail to show my kids how special they are.
It had obviously been a very long weekend because this is what happened very shortly after we got in the car to head home. (Leona was riding in another car with Earl)
Around mid-May, the weather was still not up to my expectations and I was sick of it, so I took my kiddos to the mall play area... a place that we visit regularly during long, cold winter months. This baby is so fun and happy all the time!
This is very typical of Lathen. :)
This however is not typical of the two fighters/arguers. In spite of their constant fighting and arguing, I know that they love each other very much!
Garrett graduated from Kindergarten around the end of May.
I really can't believe I have a child about to enter 1st Grade. He loves school and loves learning and reading. He has had a great year in Kindergarten and we both look forward to a fun-filled summer before he starts full-time 1st grade.
My 3 sweet children :) Love them!!
