Anyways, here is a recap of the first couple of weeks of May (with the exception of this weekend):
My mom came to visit the first week of May (and yet I managed to get no pictures of her with the kids..oops) but we had so much fun with her here. She got to attend a theater play with us and got to watch a soccer game of E's.
On May 4th, one of my good friend's from college got married! Several of my college friends including the bestie who flew in from Oregon were there. Such a great time to celebrate our friend's wedding and have a great time with friends sans kiddos.
This chapel was so pretty and quaint.
With the happy couple!!
These girls are some of my favorite people (we were missing just one). College was the best with them. Even though most of us don't live close to each other, I know that I can always count on them. They are my people.
Group hug!
The next day after the wedding, my mom and I took the kids to go to Casa Mañana to see The Little Mermaid. We have been going to these children's plays for the last 3 years because we get the tickets pretty cheap for our MOPS group. This is probably one of the best ones we have seen there! The costumes, the sets, and the actors were just absolutely phenomenal! J even sat still for almost an hour before getting restless - that never happens!!
Super excited to be seeing the play!!
Oh look! There's a picture of my mom =) We took several walks with the kids in our neighborhood. The kids thought it would be way fun to play at the sand by one of the ponds.
E's last soccer game was the next day and my mom was there to watch. It's been really fun to watch her this year because she has actually tried to get the ball from people, and she has almost scored and has blocked people from scoring several times. She had fun playing with her two good friends this season.
E had her last dance class for the year, and she got a ribbon for completing her third year of a dance. I can't believe she has done 3 full years of dance! I have loved watching her grow in her dancing abilities this year. She has truly blossomed.
My little boy is full of sweetness and making people laugh. He loves to sit at the piano and make up "songs" , and then he continued to call my name until I found him in the stroller just so he could see me laugh. Sweet boy.
Jason's brother graduated from Audiology graduate school in Dallas, and they had a white coat ceremony for his class of 10. Jason and I went to celebrate with him. We took J with us because he wasn't feeling well so we didn't want to leave him with the babysitter. It was such a neat ceremony, and I am super proud of my brother in law for this accomplishment. He now heads to Nashville to start his PhD.
On Mother's Day, J was still not feeling 100% so we stayed home from church. The kids made me cards and made me some cute little bookmarks with their fingerprints on them. I laminated them so I can keep them forever! We played outside in the front after nap time for a bit. It was a nice relaxing Mother's Day.
He did not want to take pictures. He kept yelling "no"
I sat and relaxed with my Starbucks while Jason played with the kids and their bikes.
Checking out the sea otters
It's been a crazy month but it's almost over!! I can't wait for the slower paced June that we will be having!
