May 25

Sunday I took a post-church picture of the kids by our rose bush. We were starting to get worried about the bush because it wasn't blooming while other bushes seemed to be. My dad helped us prune it and, voila! Tons of flowers!

Will and I slipped in a quick visit to the pool after our ward Memorial Day picnic and before Anthony and I went out for a birthday date.

Tuesday was my birthday. I had a good day. My mom watched the kids so I could get some work done around the house. In the afternoon I ran some errands while Will was at a birthday party for one of his friends and then went to the gym. That night my mom brought over one of my favorite desserts (peanut butter rice krispies). Thank you to Mom, Anthony and my kids for making it a great day!

I've been painting the trim in our upstairs hallway over the past two weeks. We are also in the process of replacing the hinges and doorknobs. Will likes to help Anthony when he screws them in to place.

May 29

The Wilsons are in Kansas! Emily, Matt and Tyler drove to Kansas to visit and introduce Tyler to his Midwest family. We went over to my parents house Wednesday afternoon so we could greet them as they arrived. Will and Lauren were very excited to meet Baby Tyler.

Pool time for the Crane cousins. This picture is also the first time Will held Tyler and he was very pleased with himself. In other news, Lauren has decided that she needs to have her puddle jumper on whenever she is wearing a swimsuit, even if she is playing in a backyard wading pool.

The spring on one of our garage doors broke Saturday morning. When it snapped it sounded like a gunshot. My dad came over and helped Anthony get the door back in working order. Spending so much time in the garage was a good excuse for us to clean and sweep the garage out too.
