May 2015

Some of our favorite Oberg ladies came out for a visit, 

so we showed them a good time 
by hitting up the Cinco De Mayo festival downtown.

 

 The girls and I survived our first tornado warning, 

which consisted of spending 5 minutes in the basement.  

It was actually kind of exciting 

and touched down relatively close to our house.  

I received a special delivery from Utah, 

which could not have been received with more excitement and tears.  

A Dad always knows the way to his daughter's heart.   

  

Speaking of knowing the way to my heart, 

breakfast and a clean kitchen could not have been a better Mother's Day gift.

 

We continued our adventures with potty (poop) training Nora.  

Instagram:

'Toilet training this kid has been a long nightmare.  I thought we had finally turned a corner, but 17 pounds of poop in her undies today proved me wrong.  It was rough.  There may have been some tears and barfing involved (on my part), but I couldn't really stay mad when she asked me "do you still love me, Mom?" with this face.

 Fun Aunt Chelsey came to visit,

so of course we had to take her shopping on 16th street 

and to see the Rockies play.

Instagram:

"It's not so much about baseball, as it is about the nachos, free fedora and cotton candy.

Nora got her first "real"haircut

(Let's try to forget about that PageBoy haircut I gave her),

 and looked completely adorable.

Hazel graduated from Kindergarten and made me cry.

Instagram: 
"Well hello there, you little kindy grad, you!"

 We spent some time with our Lone Tree cousins at the Cherry Creek Mall,

 Played in the rain in our princess dress-ups,

 

Celebrated my 31st birthday, 

 And enjoyed a very pregnant Memorial Day weekend
with Erik and Sammy

playing at the park, 

eating sub sandwiches, 

and shooting off rockets.
