Oh the fun they've had

 I looked behind me and both the girls had fallen asleep...Ahhh

 Growing up Cory loved reading the Calvin and Hobbs comics.  He collected several books over the years and has now passed them onto Caleb. Caleb is old enough to "get" them and laughs at Calvin's crazy schemes and humor.

 My parents brought Hillari up to our place so we could visit with her during her very short trip from S.F. state University,  We had a picnic, fished, and changed the oil on the corolla.  I know... don't you want to come?  I'm sure we could think of something to do.

 Sister Lane (in our ward) invited us over for a swim.  Now you might be thinking... Early May?  Swimming?  Well, considering the two oldest Randall kids have been in and out of a pool since March, May is no big deal.  But why on earth did I join them?  Sister Lane keeps her pool covered during the day so it warms up faster.   75 degrees feels a little cool but not too cool.

 We have a family of skunks living in our backyard, a mama and her 6 babies (only 5 a pictured)  We went back inside after they hid themselves in the giant cactus that serves as their den and read that Skunks typically only have 2 or 3 babies.  So either we have witnessed an oddity in Skunk offspring or maybe adoption?

 We had a fire really close to our place.  No one was hurt that we have heard and no damage to property but it was very close to several homes.

 Hannah fed Afton for me one day and I was witness to how sweet, tender and attentive she is.  Hannah gently wiped her mouth after every bite and gave her a sips of water when she thought Afton was thirsty. 

These children are growing up so very fast.  Am I teaching them enough so they won't stray?  Will I have them in the eternities?  The more I read about parenting the more I realize I don't know. Their learning spirits depend upon my testimony and example to teach them.  Heavenly Father lives and he is watching me and expects me to do my best.  I also believe that he wants to me to succeed and has made available everything I need to do so: prayer, scriptures, the Holy Ghost, my husband, and advice from wonderful friends.
