May 2014...

It is safe to say that the end of April through May was by far the busiest month of our lives and yes we have 3 little kids which throws into the craziness and part of the reason it was so busy...

Trip to La Cantera with all three kids to get some last minute things for our weddings..
I think she knows she is cute...
 Yes Micah wore her cape...

 Mason got the game ball! He had 3 hits, scored 3 times, and had two great stops at 2nd...
 Reagan cheering Mason on...
 The last thing I wanted to do during a preschool day was go to Discount Tire, but Discount Tire with 1 is much better than Discount Tire with 3...

 We stayed with my Uncle James and Aunt Liz when we were in Austin for Brian's wedding. Mason was in the pool and hot tub before 8:30... We were so thankful for their hospitality and help with the kids and the kids loved playing with our cousin's kids...
 This is what it looks like when you take 3 little ones to try on a tux...I heard, " You have your hands full" three times...
 Micah was snack helper for school and had to have a green snack... thank you pinterest!
 Preschool graduation trip to Sea World... Mason, Logan, and Reid...
 Mason's class...
 Watching Shamu...

Mason loves Brody...
 He wouldn't let me take a picture of him...

And finally he did.. but his little friend Greyson photo bombed our picture. It was so cute! Mason loves this boy...

Princess Elsa ( I mean Micah)... this was her potty training prize. I need to blog about that!

 Craig's birthday was May 2nd and the girls and I were in the Valley so Mason was in charge of the birthday celebration. He bought dad the perfect gift... Mason made him a scavenger hunt through the house to find his gifts. It was so cute!
 Our Whataburger stop on the way to the Valley. Reagan is not the best traveler and has no desire to watch a dvd so we have to stop. With Mason and Micah I could make it without stopping...

 I am not sure I sat down while we were in Weslaco... I did Samantha's bridal pictures, found vases for the rehearsal dinner and spray painted them, we did a bridal shower Saturday morning, and made flowers for the rehearsal. We had fun and were productive all at the same time...
 Supporting our friend Justin... they sold these shirts and did a video of everyone wearing them. I love wearing this shirt because it is such a tangible reminder to pray for him and his sweet family...



 I probably don't even need to say who this was... one of a kind!
 NO one like my Micah... silver sparkle boots with shorts and 85 degrees...

 Super GiGi drove 4 hours for one night just to watch her Mason play tball! He was so glad that she came to watch him play!
 This is how she plays at tball...

 Lunch with Emily before she moves to Dallas....
 Micah in little girl heaven at the twins birthday party!
 Craig and I were given an amazing gift as Linda came and watched the kids for a night so we could go away for a night. We knew we needed it but it was so great for us! We could never tell her thank you enough. It blessed us and our marriage tremendously.

While we were gone, the kids and her made me some Mother's day gifts. This is Micah holding on to hers, she doesn't want to give it to me and Mason says she has to. She hasn't gi
 I was supposed to be editing while the big kids were at school...not much getting work done this day!
 Wedding slide show picture...I just love this one! Mason is acting like they are killing him and they were just sitting on him! The personalities of my children emerge in one picture!
 These were the posters Mason drew for his teachers...
 He wanted to give them flowers and we spray painted Mason jars with chalkboard paint so he could write on them ...
 Mason and Ms. Tracy...
 Mason and Ms. Sheryl... he loved them dearly...
One of our favorite things to do is projects and painting in the front yard.... unfortunately that has been on hold lately because of our Reagan who won't stay out of the street. You can't take your eye off of her in the front yard so we just can't do it. We did volcanoes one day during her morning nap...
 I have missed this, and so have they...
 My handsome boy at his Awanas award night...
 Reagan's favorite thing to do is color...
 I thought she would try to eat the sand, but she didn't. She really enjoyed playing in it...
 My gold glitter shoes I made for the wedding...
 The "why can't I go play" look...

 Reagan and I at Misty's birthday lunch before we headed to the Valley for Jarrod's wedding...
 My sweet Micah was so tired... up until 11:00 both nights.
 Gold glitter shoes for the bridesmaids....
So after Jarrod's wedding on the 24th, I got up early on the 25th and headed back to Boerne for Emily and Josh's wedding. I got home, feed the girls, and got them to bed and was off to take prewedding and cocktail hour pictures as well as enjoy the wedding of a sweet friend. So thankful I was able to make it back. It was a gorgeous wedding, and I am thankful I could be a part of it! One adorable couple!

 When you are just too tired to care... that is a fort in case you can't tell...
 After the wedding I had a steering retreat for MOPS.. it was just one night and this was at the place we stayed. The only picture I had... we worked really hard in planning for next year and planned until midnight and started early the next day. Looking forward to serving with those ladies next year...
And May 30th...our 10 year anniversary... and my body crashed. I felt miserable and had to cancel our date. I was laying on the floor counting the minutes until the kids went to bed because I felt so bad. I was sick the whole weekend and had to miss a friend's wedding on the 31st.
 Like I said, one busy month!
