Something good happens each day. Here's what happened in May 2012:

Tue 5/1/12: I finished "Master of Heathcrest Hall" today. I could not put it down from the middle section on. It was a great book. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wed 5/2/12: I was lazy today and spent a couple of hours watching episodes of "Dancing with the Stars" online. I'm rooting for Katherine and Mark to win.

Thu 5/3/12: I took Lizzy and David to the West Jordan City Park after dropping Emma off at school. Lizzy had a wonderful time exploring the western-themed playground equipment.

Fri 5/4/12: Star Wars Day! May the Fourth Be With You! Brad and I had a lot of fun quoting lines from the movies. He did all the Han Solo lines and I did Princess Leia. It was the first year we really got into it. We're such geeks!

Sat 5/5/12: My highlight of the day was definitely my husband. Yes, I am happy. I married a wonderful guy.

Sun 5/6/12: Bruce and Loralee's family came over tonight with homemade banana cream pie. I love banana cream pie.

Mon 5/7/12: Tonight we made our annual mother's day cards for Scott's and Emma's grandmothers, and my mother. It's one of our family traditions that has held strong for the last five years.

Tue 5/8/12: We went to the doctor for David's 6-month appointment (although he's already 7 months). He weighed only 14 pounds! My little guy really is a little guy. He's healthy, though, and very social. The doctor and nurses thought he was adorable.

Wed 5/9/12: Lizzy, David, and I took our new double stroller for a walk to the postbox today, so we could mail our mother's day cards. Lizzy loves the stroller. David had mixed reactions. He's still not feeling well from his shots yesterday. It was nice getting out of the house and exercising. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. Hooray for Vitamin D!

Thu 5/10/12: I took the little ones to the Jordan River Parkway this morning after dropping Emma off at school. We walked for about an hour. It was so pretty there.

Fri 5/11/12: My husband gave me the bestest back rub tonight while we were watching "The Social Network." My husband is my favoritest person.

Sat 5/12/12: Bradley and I did some cleaning today (mostly Brad, cause he's super wonderful), and now my bedroom looks lovely for Mother's Day.

Sun 5/13/12: I had a wonderful Mother's Day with my husband and two babies. Brad always goes out of his way to make sure I feel loved and appreciated, but I like the extra attention on Mother's Day. It was also nice going to church and sitting next to Marilyn and James. Lizzy came out of nursery with an adorable potted plant for me. It made my heart happy!

Mon 5/14/12: We had homemade chili for dinner tonight, then we had FHE afterward. We talked to Scott about Patriarchal Blessings. He should be getting his soon. For dessert we had yummy blueberry angel food cake.

Tue 5/15/12: Brad and I watched the season finale of "Once Upon A Time" tonight. It was good! Looking forward to the next season.

Wed 5/16/12: I love magic erasers! Why haven't I tried using them before?

Thu 5/17/12: Walked along the Jordan River Parkway again this morning. Lizzy loved it, David napped. Papa mopped the floor tonight. Really, how many men mop the kitchen floor without being asked?
He's my Mr. Wonderful!

Fri 5/18/12: I am amazed by how the simplest recipes make my kids so happy. They absolutely love macaroni and cheese and hot dogs. I think they would eat it every night if they had the option. I think I would be sick.

Sat 5/19/12: David sat in the highchair for the first time today! He's getting big. Our family went to an activity this evening held by our soon-to-be ward. It was nice meeting new people and putting names to faces. The kids loved spending time with their cousins.

Sun 5/20/12: We watched the angular solar eclipse at Bruce and Loralee's house tonight. It was Emma's idea. Scott made a pinhole viewer, and Sister Bellon gave us some eclipse glasses to use. Turned out great!

Mon 5/21/12: We talked about moving into our new house tonight in Family Home Evening. Scott and Emma are excited.

Tue 5/22/12: Little David can sit on his own for over 5 minutes now. He's getting to be such a big boy! He's also been sticking his knees up under his body, getting ready to crawl, and he may have a tooth coming through.

Wed 5/23/12: Brad is so organized. He asked me to make maps of the rooms in our new house, so that the movers will know where to put furniture. I've been having fun making diagrams all afternoon and evening. I didn't want to stop tonight.

Thu 5/24/12: Papers were signed away!

Fri 5/25/12: And today we are officially home owners!

Sat 5/26/12: We splurged today and bought our brand new appliances from RC Willey. Our washer and dryer are top-notch appliances. They were the best rated on consumers.com.

Sun 5/27/12: We moved some things to our new house bit by bit today. Scott has packed more than any of us, and he looked like he was the most excited to decorate his new bedroom.

Mon 5/28/12: We spent Memorial Day shopping for home essentials. We got a new full-size bed for Scott, and lots of laundry baskets and wastebaskets.

Tue 5/29/12: We went to the library tonight, then headed back to the new house to drop off boxes and bags. Progress is being made slowly but surely.

Wed 5/30/12: I enjoyed shopping for home essentials at Walmart and spending a small fortune on things we need. I'm glad I finally get to decorate my own house.

Thu 5/31/12: Little D is crawling! Well, almost crawling. He scoots on his belly pretty consistently now. This morning he chased the cat (going about an inch a minute), and ended up at the foot of the stairs, about to tumble down.  I had been watching, though, and came to the rescue.
