Whew!

So far, May has been a busy and exciting month for the Koper Four. Thankfully the sooner May comes to a close, the closer we are to being the Koper Five once again! Here’s a recap of our month so far:

The kids and I drove up to Kansas, to see my BFF (cause, you know – we’re 7th grades), Michelle and her hubby Kenny. I was so excited to visit with them before they have their baby, even if it was just for a few days and even if it meant 16 hours in the car with my kids. It was totally worth it. I had a blast with my sweet, sweet friends. They loved on my kids and were gracious hosts and fed us well! I sure wish we could get together more often! Michelle and Kenny – love you guys!

While we were there we went to Tanganyika Wildlife Park. It was the coolest place! We may have paid $2 for a craisin but it was totally worth it when we got to feed it to a Lemur, and when Michelle was smart enough to tear the craisins into even smaller pieces and make the most of it!

In fact a second after this picture was taken, Michelle touched my leg and I screamed and nearly dropped Gabby. The bird feeding was then over! I will take my revenge on Michelle when she least expects it.)

After the park, we went for a walk and Steven took his job of walking Brea VERY seriously. He was such a big boy!

Our weekend was way to short. I hope to see Michelle and baby Carson later this summer, though!

This past week, my Aunt Sheila and my cousin, Alicia came out to visit us from Indiana. I may sound like a broken record but we enjoyed out time with them so, so much. The time they spent here just went by too fast! We didn’t do anything exciting, unless you consider the Abilene Zoo and Jason’s Deli to be exciting. I do. But we had great conversation, recalled wonderful memories and got a little motion sick watching home movies. We laughed until we cried. And it was such a sweet time as 4 Marsh’s spend a great week together.

May has been a great month so far; full of wonderful friends, awesome family, a lot of laughter, new memories made, and now an air conditioner that has been broken for over a week with a forecast of mid-high 90s for the rest of the week. Guess I can’t have it all.
