May Memories

In an attempt to remember the backstory behind the photos from three months ago, here are some of my May memories:

Farewell party for Great Grandma Jewell Rae before she moved to a memory care facility in Austin - 

 My parents and my kids with their great grandmother -

And this is why I'll always take a massage for my Mother's Day gift -

Hyped up on cake icing at a birthday party -

 My girl -

 Love these two!

 We had the available moms over for Mother's Day hamburgers and snapped a four generations picture -

 May was a spring carnival at Collin's school, where Maya was not a fan of the Chick Fil A cow -

 But she had fun on the playground -

 Collin bravely tried the trampoline ride -

After a few rounds of sno-cones, cascarones battles, and spray painted mohawk hairdo's, Collin was a big fan of the first of many school carnivals -  

 On one of the last days of school, I joined him for lunch and sat with he and three friends -

 Maya wrapped up her year of gymnastics -

 

I was able to volunteer at Collin's field day.  By late May in Texas, it was appropriate to let the kids get soaking wet in every station and to wrap up the morning with sno-cones.  Sweet kinder class -

 

Enjoyed the morning with my boy -

 A few days before the end of school, the kinder class had a beach blast.  I was in charge of the bubble station, but everyone's favorite was the short-lived water balloons and of course, shaving cream!

At some point, I think in April or May, Cas had been up late one night and watched Maya sneak out of her room and come sit in front of the computer at around 1am.  I had woken up another morning to find her with a pen in hand, drawing all over her legs on the couch at 5:45am.  So a child lock was purchased and assembled to keep her imprisoned safely in her room at night.  Until one night we forgot to lock the door to the jack-and-jill bathroom, and when I went to wake up Collin in the morning for school, there was Maya cuddled up in his bed.

We thought it was so cute and sweet, we let them continue to sleep together as long as they didn't keep each other up giggling or talking at night.  Sometimes the dogs joined them - it is one crowded bed!
