May 2012

May 2012 was a busy, busy month for  us!  I celebrated my birthday, Mother's Day, we went to the mountains, the coast, and fit a camping trip in there too!  Here are some of the pics from our adventures in May!

Celebrating my birthday

Happy Mother's Day!!

Emily got bored and decided licking the dirty mining water was more fun.
