Good bye May...

May just flew by for the Lloyd Pack. Lilly's softball league wrapped up and Girl Scouts is winding down for the summer. School is almost done (16 more days for Lilly and 12 days for Bobby) and summer is practically here. Lilly and Heidi came down with strep throat and Bobby came down with bronchitis, followed by pneumonia. The pediatrician also diagnosed Bobby with asthma which wasn't a surprise but we aren't happy he has to start dealing with this at only 4 years old. Loralee finally cut her two top teeth and has also started walking! Of course I can't quite get a pic of either of these new things but hopefully will catch her showing off her new teeth and walking soon. On the bright side everyone is happy and healthy again and we are looking forward to a fun-filled, relaxing summer. 

 Closing Day for Huntington Beach Girls Softball. Lilly and her BFF Sofia

Almost 14 months old! And Loralee climbs up on pretty much anything she can.

She just looks so old here! Bums me out!

Silly Lilly

Heidi was telling me "No pictures please!" And Loralee is the "Where's Waldo?" in the background.

Lilly went roller skating for the first time at a friend's birthday party. She loved it! It was good practice for me too. Forgot how fun it is to roller skate.

Passed out about 2 minutes after we left the skating party

Bobby during his breathing treatment at the Dr's

He had to do this 3 to 4 times a day and by the last breathing treatment of the day he was exhausted and usually fell asleep. I also found that letting him listen to my ipod was a great way to get the 15 to 20 minutes to pass quickly. Now he only has to take his inhaler 2x a day for the next 2 weeks and breathing treatments only as needed.

Bobby and I while waiting in the car for Lilly to get out of school

We also had my nephew Barrett for a weekend. Lots of fun having an extra 2 year old at my house. Here's all 5 kiddos in my Suburban. You can barely see Loralee on the right since she is still rear facing in her car seat.

I put all 5 kids together for bath time. Barrett wasn't too sure about this at first (my kids are totally used to it) but after a few minutes he was playing and didn't want to get out.

Sisters...Loralee doesn't quite get how to ride her tricycle but loves to let the other kids drive her around while she sits on the back

Lilly's Open House. They gave us all her work from the entire year. Still cannot believe I will have a first grader this Fall

So hard to get Heidi to pose for pics these days. That's being 2.5 for ya!

Getting too big too fast

Easter pics finally....

Ok so I just realized I never got around to posting Easter pics. Figured I better do that before April is over lol. We spent the day with my family in Irvine. The weather was beautiful, we were all dressed up, and we topped the day off with an egg hunt. I love when holidays are relaxing and go smoothly.

We colored eggs a few nights before

The Easter bunny brought the 3 older kids giant balls along with a few tasty treats!

 

Sisters

The whole gang

Our awesome attempt at getting all the cousins together lol. Thought it was worth a try.

Cousins and friends for life (but over picture taking at this point)

My parents with all of their grandkids

 My big girl. Hard to believe she is 5.5 already and almost done with Kindergarten!

Mom and I with the baby

Now that Heidi is 2.5 she is too cool for us

The Easter bunny came to Nana and Dat's house too!

And brought the kids new swimsuits!

And of course a little bit of candy...

Bobby still has time for a pic with me now and then

My littlest princess playing in her dress

On and egg hunt

Can't talk, too busy hunting

But Lilly ALWAYS has time to stop and pose for a pic

And it just wouldn't be Easter without wearing a singing Christmas hat right?

 

Studio pics! Loralee's first birthday and our family.

Ok so we finally tried getting pics of the whole Lloyd Pack as a family this past weekend. I also did Loralee's first birthday pics. The family ones actually went pretty well and we got a few of ALL 6 of us looking! I wasn't able to get one of just the four kids but I am totally fine with that. They kind of burned out after the group shots of the 6 of us. And Loralee did really well this time too (although she melted down at the end). I cannot believe I have faithfully taken pics of each child every 3 months for the first year of their life! I am really proud of myself for doing that because now no kid can come back to me and say I never took any pics of them. There's an equal amount of pics for each baby. Love it!

Loralee was really into this bench.

The infamous cake shots that each Lloyd baby has done

And she was done

 

This is as far as we got at trying to get just the 4 kids. Loralee and Heidi were not having it at this point.
