may 2k19: church stuff

Chuck and Carma had a day off together, which found them at the church orchard thinning peaches. Carma was mostly there for the snacks, photo ops, and random turkey sightings.

One time there was a stake Relief Society activity... on Saturday, May 4th which required some creativity to combine Star Wars and church dress ;).

Say what?? Shannon and I are 5th cousins! Next to Tasha (I think we were 4th?) this is the closest family search relationship I've found with someone I didn't already know I was related to. So fun.

We rode bikes to church on Mother's Day...

I wanted orange/brown/blue as our main colors for church that day, bur couldn't find anything in Carma's closet that matched... enter a hand-me-down shirt from the boys combined with leggings and a headband belt for a tunic dress! I loved it.

Love these four. They're not really looking at me, but they're smiling and laughing!

Outtakes ;).

Meeeeee. 


Cutest collection of Mother's Day gifts:








and a group selfie at bedtime to commemorate the day. Caption via instagram: We’re going through a fun phase in our house where if one child is touching me, ALL the children need to touch me. Tonight for scriptures/prayer/three things I legit spread out like a starfish on my bed and told them they could each snuggle with a different limb 🤦🏻‍♀️. We also did our traditional stacking ‘formation’ which I have to admit I’m curious how long will last- also curious how Chuck managed to escape ever being part of that pile o’ fun-pretty sure he just said no 😅. Love these chillens and I am willing to sacrifice my personal space (on occasion) if it helps them feel loved and supported and safe. If they could quit fighting over who gets to invade my space and for how long and whose turn it is, that would also no aaaaaaa-okay with me 🙃😬😑.

After hearing about them for years, I finally made it to a party at the Zechmanns', featuring their swimming pool, this fantastic jump house slide...

and the infamous Z-ball!! Definitely lived up to the hype - also how sweet is Brother Bishop playing with Carma forever? She loved it.

I got to help Janell with her Memorial Day tradition of taking flowers to her parents' graves.
It was a lovely and peaceful afternoon with someone I sure love!!
