May 2016

May is always a busy, but fun month.  Field trips, concerts, field day – I love it.  It’s fun to see how far the kids have come and to see the fruit of all their efforts for the school year, as well as to just enjoy doing some fun things with them.

Mother’s Day Picture

 

I tried to get some updated pictures of the kids.

    

Creighton with his wonderful, Kindergarten teacher.

Doing back flips on her bunk bed.

The boys earned Chiefs tickets for reading a certain number of minutes.

 

I can’t remember if it was Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, but we got to attend Brooks’ dedication.

4th grade field trip

 

Field Day

The boys had amazing teachers. 

 

Kate chose to be Laura Ingalls Wilder for her wax museum project.  Kate with her teacher, who was also amazing and a great fit for Kate.  I can’t say enough good about the teachers at Dee-Mack.  They have all been outstanding.

Creighton and Sailor

Baseball

Swimming – even Sailor loves the pool

Lincoln turned 8 this month!
 
Creighton went to the park and circus on his field trip.  Anya was puking, but my gracious mother-in-law stood in for me!  Thank you!!
  
Watermelon on a warm spring day!

Watching them plant the field by our house.

Grandpa is graciously helping Kate plant a garden this year.  She is very excited about it!  Joce even helped one night.  I love the girls’ sweet friendship despite their age difference.
   
It’s no secret that I am terrified of snakes….I’m afraid Creighton must take after his mother as when this one started hissing at them, he went running yelling “I’m allergic to snakes!”

He’s a character, that boy.  The text is when he stole my mom’s phone and was texting my dad and brother.  He keeps us all laughing.

Had a short 30 hour get-away with these two girls.  You just can’t beat friends like these two.  I’m blessed.
