May Days

Let's see, where to begin.  May was a busy month as we wrapped up school, celebrated a wet Mother's day, took a trip to Belize, welcomed our new baby cousins, and did whatever else we did.  Hey, May ended like forever ago and I can barely remember what I did 30 minutes ago so you will have to bear with me:)

I actually think this first picture is from April (oopppss).  Shelby went to a birthday party at some stables and they did pony rides.  She loved it!!!  We recently purchased approximately 2.6 acres of land at auction in a horse community and Shelby decided that we needed to buy a horse.  We are NOT buying a horse, but it will be fun to be close to horses and maybe we can make friends with some of the neighbors that have them.

One of our favorite activities to do around here is go to Lovin' Spoons.  It is one of those fro-yo places and we are all ADDICTED!!!  Can we say "support group"?? 

JP's tball team wrapped up another fun filled season!  It was truly amazing how much he grew and changed from last year to this year.  His confidence on the field was out of this world compared to last year and there wasn't one game that we had to twist his arm to get him to go to.  He truly loved every game!  It is kind of scary to think that next year he will be moving up to coach pitch.  There are some bigger boys on those teams.  Oh my baby is growing up:(

One of the biggest things we did in May that didn't involve the children is take a super fun trip to Belize with two other couple friends of ours.  YIIIPPPPEEEE!!!  It was so amazing and soo much fun!  Here is a girls pic at one of my favorite Belize places, The Palapa Bar. 

The day after we got back from Belize we celebrated Pratt's 34th birthday.  Shelby and JP really got into it and spent time decorating the house for him.  When Pratt pulled into the driveway Shelby had us all hide, she turned out all the lights and when Pratt walked in we all jumped out screaming "Surprise!  Happy Birthday!"  It was so much fun watching Shelby and JP get into celebrating their daddy.

Then we wrapped up school with the end of the year parties.  Here is JP with one of his buddies, Harrison.  They had a blast together.

Shelby and one of her buddies, Lauren.  Shelby, Lauren and Kendall are like the three musketeers; when you see one usually the others aren't far behind:)

We closed out May with a visit from Uncle Matt.  It was so great to see him!!  Hopefully soon we will get to see him more often.  We love you Uncle Matt!!!

And that my friends is the short version of May.  Soon I will post pictures of our new baby cousins.  My sister-in-law delivered twins the morning we left for Belize.  They were teeny-tiny and healthy!
