May and some of June for the Orchards

Ok so I haven't posted in a while so here are pictures from the last month of our life. At least I labelled all of these. And be sure to check out the videos at the bottom.

Benjamin had his last soccer game on May 17th for the spring season. Here is his team.

Some action shots.

The boy on the far right in yellow is Oscar, Benjamin's classmate from school.

Benjamin gets a soccer medal to commemorate the season.

Of course he had to put it on.

Can you see the drool? His teeth are just barely through the gum.

He's so pleased with himself now that he can crawl around and get to things...

like brothers shoes!

This was so cute!

Cute but it can't be comfortable...

OK so we thought this was the best idea Evan had in a while and it gives new meaning to the phrase "motor mouth". Ha Ha!

Great googly moogly, Jacob!

Now he tries to get Matthew to wear them.

The strawberry patch! I went with my friend Connie and her little guy Andrew to pick strawberries last week. It was fun and it had rained the night before so no one else showed up which was great for us!

Connie shows the kids what color to pick. NO Green ones!

Jacob watches.

Our first berries. We ended up with 14 lbs so I made lots of yummy jam!

Jacob pretty much picked one strawberry and ate the whole time. He was happy:)

Matthew says mmm, tasty! (He says this about everything these days)

Oooh, take my picture

Cute Jacob

Happy Matthew!

We went to Benjamin's school fair where they got these googly eyes and some other prizes. Here's googly eye Evan.

Jacob plays with his slinky dog

Sleepy Jacob. This a pile of pillows we keep between our couch and the wall. It was so cute that he snuggled down for a nap.

Benjamin is ready for his field trip to Honey Hollow.

Matthew is so happy to be eating solid food and likes to feed himself.

Matthew also loves the bath, although more water ends up out than in. He is so funny when he snuggles the washcloth and sucks his thumb just like he does with his bib or blankie.

We spent Memorial Day at the park for a picnic and games with our church. Here's Evan playing in the sand.

Benjamin got a Diego slip and slide with his tooth fairy and piggy bank money. Fun for the hot weather!

Evan chills out!

Jacob hanging out in Matthew's chair.

Matthew loves being able to cruise around the house in his walker.

Fun at the park: Benjamin the astronaut and Jacob the alien.
