Is it May already!

I've put this off for too long and now the task is way more than I can handle, so I'll do a short update without pics just to get me back in the game.
We had a great April. James' family came out for a visit and we realized how fun Kansas City really is and can't wait to show it to everyone.
James has started his summer traveling and will be in and out for the next few months. He enjoys playing basketball during his lunch breaks and keeping up with the young men in the ward. Kaitlyn still adores him and they just discovered playing catch together. James was ecstatic!
Rebecca, oh yeah me, I've had a Demarle party here and there. But most of my time is spent keeping up with playgroups, play dates, and playschool. I guess I just play all day! I do love my life. I have also discovered how to do cool things like make bread and yogurt. It has really helped us save money. I even grind my own wheat! James gets a kick of telling his buddy's at work how "homemade" his lunch his. But the real reason I haven't blogged is because it's garage sale season and man is it crazy! You wouldn't believe the great stuff I find, I've probably already told you but just in case here are a few of my top finds (all are in great, like new condition):

2 burner gas grill $10 (okay, it's pretty used, but a new one would look just as used soon)
Oster Bread Maker $7.50
Nike Jordan baby boy shoes $2.00
Princess Bike $10
Fisher Price Bubble Lawn Mower Blower $1

I'm telling you, I am in HEAVEN here!

Kaitlyn also loves garage sales and sports here favorite 25 cent sandals everyday. They're a chunky, strappy Barbie sandal with pink flower jewels that are 2 sizes too big. She could care less and I have to talk her out of wearing them when I get sick of the "clunk, clunk, clunk" they make. She also loves her sparkly red Dorothy shoes (also a quarter) and wears them every week, despite Daddy's argument of them not matching her pink dress.

As for "Pickman" a.k.a "Pickle" a.k.a "Dillon Pickle" a.k.a "Trouble" a.k.a. "Punk" a.k.a. "Squirt" okay, I think that's all of them. He is a riot! Always emptying drawers and cupboards, pulling book off shelves, and eating various items off the floor. He is a very determined little guy and so smart too. He's starting to sign "finished" and "more" and responds to ques such as "head butt" and "how big is Dillon, So big!" He loves music and will clap and dance along. He got his 1st tooth this month (finally! he turns one June 10th) and is enjoying watermelon and cauliflower(cooked of course). He really is a great baby. He's content in the car, but once he's out, watch out! Sometimes I feel like I have a dog. My neighbor and I are constantly saying the same things, "don't each the grass/rocks/ dirt" except she's talking to her dog. Dillon has also taken his first steps. The most I've counted so far was 3.

Well that's that. Us in a rather large nutshell. Thanks for reading! I'll try to catch up on your blog later!
