Baby #2's Name

So we've decided to name our second boy Levi. We haven't decided if he's going to have a middle name yet. I wasn't given a middle name and Max doesn't have a middle name so, we'll see.

My sister and I have been working on quilts for the babies and I finally finished mine today. It was really fun to make and we've learned a lot about quilting. My mom tried to get us into it when we were in high school, but I had no interest as many teenagers would probably feel. I think now it's definitely going to be our "sister hobby." There will be many more quilts coming from us! Thanks for introducing it to us, Mom. I finally love it!

Graduation

We graduated on Saturday. What an awesome feeling! We did it! It took some time, but we did it!

Our families came out to support us at our commencement ceremony which was perfect because we had both moms with us for Mother's Day too. Here are a bunch of pictures of this weekend. My mom was there too of course, she would rather I not put pictures of her on the blog (I don't blame her with all those wierdos out there).

It was a really fun weekend. Thank you everyone for coming out to support us yet again. We love you guys so much!

Sweet Swim Shorts

We went to the Tempe Marketplace splash pad today and I was excited for Max to wear his awesome new swim shorts. I love them!!! Very stylish don’t you think?

  

He was totally dancing to the loud music that was playing. :D

celebrating school being over!

We went to Claim Jumper (my fav) last night. Yum!!!

My boys are so adorable! Geesh! How did I get so lucky?!

Look at that gigantic strawberry!! Max was so excited to eat it!

Strawberry Pie

 One thing I was really looking forward to when I finished student teaching was baking.  I missed doing it so much.  I remember wanted to so bad, but there was no way that I would have time. Now that I’m home again, I’ve been back to doing it. It’s so fun! I recently made this strawberry pie. Strawberries are on sale for 88 cents at our store. How could I not make one?! We loved it. It was delicious! I also made one for Mike to take to work today. We’ll see how they like it :)

Anyway, in the past I made a really good berry pie with a perfect crust, but was never able to get the crust just right after that. I made several other pies and was really bummed at the end result because of the crust. It’s the hardest part! This time I’ve got it down! I’ve made this pie twice now, so I think I’ve mastered the crust. More pies to come! Any suggestions?

Feliz Cumpleanos, Miguel

We had a really fun and relaxed weekend with the Marshalls for Mike’s birthday. We loved hanging out with the whole gang! We did lots of fun stuff together.

 

Naomi ditched school and we went and had some pizza (jk! we just pulled her out early)

 

We went to a comedy show on Friday night. SO fun!

 

We went to Naomi’s softball game which was fun.  Max had a good view from the tree ;)   I’m sad that I didn’t take any pictures of Naomi though :(

 

The Marshall boys.

  

Happy birthday, Daddy!

“Let me help you with that, Daddy.”

Beautiful gals! 

 

“Excuse me, we’re trying to play the piano here.”

We went to the park and tried out Mike’s new kite that Maxine gave him.

 

Later we had Jimmy’s famous milk shakes.

 

“Mo pease?!”
