May 11 - A day of resting and spending time with Keri and the family.
May 12 - The older girls wanted to make stuff for Mother's Day. I took Sasha, Nikkol and Zella to shop at stores in Bozeman, MT. I decided to try the washable markers designed for coloring/drawing on windows or glass.
Hunter wanted to use washable markers on sliding door. He was mighty proud of his art work
I love how the dark/grey clouds roll over
May 13 - The older kids got busy making stuff for Mother's Day. Sasha wanted to make cupcakes, but wanted to make a cupcake flower bouquet and needed a large styrofoam ball and a ceramic pot. Michael's had some stuff Sasha needed, but we had to go to Target to get the rest. She got an idea after watching YouTube tutorial. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMXnbjvNCI4)

Adorable kittens The one on the left was my favorite. I was so tempted to buy it, but decided not to.

Ta da! It was not that hard!
May 14 - We, along with Keri and Dustin, went out for dinner to celebrate Mother's Day at 14 North Steakhouse in Bozeman, MT. The atmosphere was great and the service was swift.

May 17 - I went with Keri and her four girls on a trip to Van Nuys, CA. Our stopover was in Las Vegas, and we spent the night at Keri's Uncle Jason's place.
It snowed in Island Park, ID
May 18 - I, along with Keri and the girls, hit the road for Van Nuys, CA. Keri had read so much about Creme & Sugar store in Anaheim, CA that makes unusual ice cream drinks and wanted all of us to go there. Afterwards, we checked into Airtel Plaza Hotel and Conference Center where the West Coast Fabulous Face pageant was held at.
That is my drink! HUGE, but it was SO delicious that I finished it so fast!
Almost as big as my face!

Kalista got a bit of her drink on her pretty face!
May 19 - Airtel Hotel is right next door to the historic Van Nuys airport; therefore, has a blend of aviation history, small airplanes hanging in the ceiling, some airplane parts throughout the hotel.

May 21 - After the crowning was over we left Van Nuys, CA, stopped to have lunch at Peggy Sue's 50's Diner in Yermo, CA. It is an original roadside diner that was built in 1954. Homemade foods, 50;s music, 5 & 10 store, old fashioned ice cream, malts, sundaes and more. We spent the night at Keri's Uncle Jason's place in Vegas.
Kalista knows how to melt my heart with her beautiful eyes and lovely smile!

May 22 - After breakfast with Uncle Jason we hit the road back home. It was a beautiful day and the drive through Canyonlands was awesome...

May 26 -Keri and Dustin were out of town and we looked after the kids for the weekend.
Hunter loves playing with cars, and was happy when we got him a new one
Hunter loves spending time outside, and it was a perfect day for him to stay out.
Then the stormy clouds started to roll in.
Falling rain not yet reaching the ground!
May 27 - Dustin suggested that we and the kids go out for a ride to Gardiner, MT for its annual Yellowstone Horse Roundup. When we got into Gardnier there were many vehicles parked alongside the road, but we went up the mountains and found a place to park. It was after 12:30 when the horses were on the road from the pen up to the mountains.
