May Wrap-up

1. Max needing a little rest after a few laps around the track.

2. We were sorting through some of Kathryn's old clothes and found her cupcake costume from when she was almost three. She really wanted to be a pirate that year...I'm kind of regretting not doing that. But the cupcake was super cute too! Sam has always looked so much like Kat as a baby and toddler, so we decided to try it on him.

3. One of those days that I was super tired, so I made Max take a nap.

4. Max played pee-wee soccer this spring. He only had practices, but it was so good for him to start learning how to handle the ball.

5. Some of the fun Mother's Day presents the children gave me when I got home from Hawaii.

 6. We visited Grandma Jones on our way to Island Park. She was doing amazingly well. She even got up and played some hymns on the organ. She played several perfectly from memory even though she hasn't really played since Michael was young. What an amazing lady.

7. Sam got into my makeup...I guess he watches me enough to know where to put the concealer.

8. The boys enjoyed carrying around lunch boxes one day. No food inside though, just toys. 

9. The swimming pool and popsicles were calling on this bright, warm afternoon.

10. Kathryn played spring soccer this year. She did so well this year and we were so proud of her. It seems like she is beginning to understand the game better. With some encouraging, she even decided to be the goalie during a few games. And when we were in Hawaii, she scored her first goal!

11. Max finished up his Fun Fitness class. 

12. I told the kids they could go outside and play in the rain puddles, but somehow they ended up in this mud pit (we're in the middle of redoing the back yard where our new fence is). They were having too much fun, I just couldn't make them stop.

13. This is my life with these two boys. They are wild and crazy. Sam is quickly picking up on some somersaulting tricks from Maxwell.

14. Kathryn's field day was so hot, but she had so much fun running in the races. I think all the kids favorite was the tug of-war competition. Her kindergarten class got first place. We loved her teacher Mrs. Thomas. She had a huge class by the end of the year (31 students in all day, every day kindergarten), but she was so amazing with all of them. Kathryn learned so much this year. The day after her last day of school, she woke up crying and told me how much she missed Mrs. Thomas...I miss her too:(

15. End of the year party. I was one of the room moms this year and helped with all of the class parties. I was also able to go in and help during workshop throughout the year. I had so much fun getting to know all of the kids. They were all darling.

16. Kindergarten Graduation. Really? I know, but they were so darn cute!!! Love this sweet girl.

17. The annual parade in the "big town". We haven't gone since Kathryn was a baby. The kids sure had fun and we loved meeting up with friends to watch it. Samuel cracked me up trying to do somersault a majority of the time we were there.
