The Dennetts: May 2010

We've had no problem keeping busy this month. I've been working two or more days per week nannying for my dad's friend Jodi. She owns her own cleaning business and specializes in residential, commercial and vacation properties. The kids are Jase age 2&1/2 and Ryann 6&1/2. Jase is happy (most of the time) and energetic. He absolutely loves trucks and playing in the dirt. He is going through the "mine" phase and wants everything to belong to him. It's hard to deal with sometimes but for the most part he's very easy. Ryann is adventureous and imaginative. She loves riding her bike, catching tadpoles, pretending, hiking and asking everyone questions. She is going through a "tall tale" phase and enjoys telling stories (that may or may not be true).. I typically work Monday & Wednesday with the occasional Tuesday and Thursday.

For Mother's Day Brooks and I decided to put together some family pictures for both of our moms. We rounded up all the girls and took Pictures of Brooks and the girls in front of Stone Cliff gated community. We took my family photos by a big tree at the trailhead by the Dixie Center. It was very last minute and we are so glad my dad had the camera and was so helpful to us. We framed the pictures and gavethem to our moms and they absolutely loved it!

One of my best friends had a birthday party on May 14th and we went to Pirate Island Pizza to celebrate :D

The day after that was Alexis Barnard's baby shower. We bought her some binkies, a changing kit and some sleepy time lotion. I made her some really cute invitations and we had alot of fun spending the afternoon with her and meeting all of her family and friends. She's naming her baby girl Mia Michelle Martinez and she is due July 13th. I made her invitations too :)

My birthday was May 16th and I wanted to do something special with my family so we went out to Sand Hollow Reservoir to swim and go fourwheeling for the afternoon. After that my dad surprised me with an Oreo ice cream cake (my absolute favorite) and they had gotten me a nice camera which I've been using almost every day since.

Amariah is now 3 months old and smiling like its nobody's business!!

The 26th was my little brother Jared's graduation. I can't believe the valedictorian is the kid with the bowl cut from Jared's karate class from years ago! His class was about half the size of mine but with twice the amount of achievements. They had a HUGE honor roll and our old nieghbor Katelyn Lancaster was on it. Jared is such a smart kid. He was the psychology student of the year! He amazes me every time he opens his mouth! I have complete faith in him that he'll do nothing but amazing things in his life. I sure love my brother :) p.s. Amariah happened to have a blowout as Aunt Cinnie was holding her at graduation and lucky me, I got to change her outfit and take care of a huge pile right when my sister runs out of wipees! Good thing I love that baby girl haha!

And lastly, before I close this one up I've been busy digital scrapbooking etc. I love making all kinds of graphics like my background on here and things for friends (see below). I have also made a layout for my grandma's memorial blog- A Mother's Faith ALL of the graphics are by me!
