May Madness

We have had a jam packed month, most sports are coming to an end, plays, shows and tryouts have kept us busy as well as a few other fun events.

Hayley had the lead one of the nights in her middle schools play. It was called Crazy Camp and she was the head counselor - Eve. She did a great job, nailed all 149 lines and we were very proud - good job Hayley Kate!




Probably my boys most favorite night of the year is Father and Sons - maybe one of mine too - besides the packing and preparing on Friday and then the cleaning and unpacking all Saturday! Chad said Luke went MIA only 3 times - mmm! Check out my nephew Reids face, no mother would let their son get that dirty - only at Father and Sons!




We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. Chad got us a massage table which I love because he gives the best massages. This is also a score for me because to every 1 time I give him a massage he probably gives me about 6 or 7! My sweet husband also had another birthday making him an old man of 37. He just so happened to be in Hong Kong that day so we celebrated the next day when he got home - the kids couldn't believe it that he was not around on the actual day.


Luke put on the most sweetest little Mothers Day tea in his kindergarten class - they melt me every time. He sang to me, gave me flowers, served me food, had a gift and then we did cute little things around the classroom. Love his class and teacher!


I am always so excited for soccer season to start - and then even more excited for it to end. Its so fun to watch the kids play, but I really enjoy my Saturdays when they are not spent going from game to game. Trents middle school basketball team is having his first playoff game this weekend which means that is almost over too - summer is right around the corner -sweet!


My baby lost his 2nd baby tooth - aah he is growing up. It also makes him talk a little different and it is just so cute that I could gobble him right up.


Our vegetable garden is growing like crazy. The other day we had to remove the 3 pumpkin vines because they were growing all over the grass and it was looking out of control. We have already enjoyed squash, strawberries, basil and cilantro. Here it is without the pumpkins which are now elsewhere - I hope they survive the transplant.

all domesticated and stuff!


Yesterday Chelsea and I decided to get all home makerish and whipped out 64 jars of strawberry jam. We impressed ourselves! Not only was it so fun but now our families will be able to enjoy the fruits of our hard work - aaah! Maybe if you are lucky you will get a jar too! Now I think I will go make myself a little sandwich.
