Where to begin......

O' MY it has been a month or more.. so many activities happening: soccer make-ups, soccer end of the year celebrations, Girl Scouts, end of school year activities... you name it.

It is summer break... I would say we are full swing.. but with all the RAIN how could we be?

What's been happening!:

*Mother's Day

*Ashton's Preschool Graduation

*A trip to the Farm

*Me and my Hubby's 13 yr anniversary

Mother's day was as usual. We made plans to go eat an expensive brunch at Granite City! So delicious and worth it.

The kids also got me two small pallets of flowers to plant in our new flower beds! Yes I had to do the planting.

Lonnie tried over and over to get a good photo of me and the kids... but someone had an issue in every picture! This one was the best out of the five!

In mid May the girls had the opportunity to get all dressed up and take their dad to Father Daughter Dance. OH what fun they had... they theme was Hollywood Glam. As you can see they are so excited to go.

Then, later in May I had the chance to take the boys to Deanna's Farm. (yes the girls were soo jealous) We had a great time. It was the most beautiful day. The boys fed the baby goats milk from bottles, rode ride on tractors, fed the ducks, "pretend" milked a cow, touched a cow. See how beautiful it was...

To my surprise, Nathan was NOT afraid of the goats. Even as a baby in the stroller he would totally freak out if he even looked at them! I knew he was growing up when I witnessed him feed one with a bottle.


See! Ashton was a natural... he loved loved loved doing this...Future farmer?? or Vet??

And the most fun of the day goes to............

tractor crashing!

And now... introducing.. my new little "soon to be" Kindergartner

I think I will end with that! Til' next time and another jar of pickles...



Gretch!
