The Challenge...

I challenged the kids to accumulate 30 days of no screen time. No screen time would be no tv, tablet or phone games. If they get 30 days we will take them to see Airplanes. What did they do the first day:

Who is that in the Circus?

May....

May. Has come:

Matt, Benen, and Papa (my dad)  went on a Men's Retreat to Canyon Lands. They where encouraged, encountered God, and got dirty.

Timothy (Timmy) turned 9 months old. He is crawling, and has two teeth with two more on the way. He has a chill attitude and personality. He loves people and is always wanting to look into there faces when he sees them. It is not very often that he does not smile.

Mothers Day. My sister (Auntie Tammie) made the kids matching outfits. They looked adorable. I have the best four Mother's Day gifts every year. I am one blessed momma.

 

Dinner. We had spaghetti for dinner. Messy (especially for the 9 month old), but yummy. We like spaghetti around here:)

May. Has Gone!
