Better late then never!

Tomorrow is the 1st day of summer.  Hard to believe when its been in the 90’s for the past month or so.  We have tried to stay cool, mainly staying in the house with the AC on full blast.  We did take advantage and play in the sprinkler.  Connor received a sprinkler ball from our cousin Candy for Easter.  We hooked it up but after a little while running through it he didn’t like the water in his face.  He has always been that way even in the bath tub and pool!  Here are a couple pictures. 

We also celebrated Memorial day, with Michelle and Kyle coming home. We grilled out and watched the balloons one night then went to Freedom week the next night.  We loved seeing all the balloons up close.  Maybe one year we will be able to go up in one.  Connor also got to ride a couple rides!

   

The summer is just starting so that means we have more fun coming!  Connor started Tball last week (that should get a post all on its own)!  We are thinking of getting a pool, and we are heading to the beach this weekend.  We have a busy busy summer ahead of us. 

Crazy busy month of May

Its been a busy month.  I started classes, and both are online.  I am really trying to stay on top of them.  Michelle’s wedding is only 4 months away.  I haven't posted pictures or talked about it because I want it to be a surprise to everyone (which I am sure she would to).  I must say I have truly found my second calling, wedding and party planning.  Most people hate doing it, but I must say I LOVE it.  Michelle told me to plan everything and I don't think she realized how involved or detailed orientated I could be.  Everything is slowly coming together, but time is ticking. 

For the month of May we had horrible hail.  It ended up messing my moms car up, and she cant get it in till get fixed until August because of how busy they are!  Luckily it didn't cause any damage to my house or roof.   

Every Spring the Center for Developmental Services (CDS) offer a spring fling.  CDS is I believe a non-profit organization that offers all kinds of services to mainly special needs children.  I had the privilege of finding out about them when Connor was a new born.  We were referred to them for hearing test and speech therapy.  We have never been able to make it to their spring fling in the past but this year luckily we were able to.  This year it was held at the baseball field and Meggie and her kids were able to come with us.  They had a lot of activates for the kids, and tons of prizes for them to win.  The kids also got to run the bases on the field and of course Connor loved that!  Connor also got to hold baby Alice for a split second.  That was all he asked about all night when he was going to be able to hold her.  Finally at the end of the night Meggie’s mom placed her in his arm for a split second and he was a happy boy!

  Connor had crazy day at school.  I think we did a pretty good job in picking out his outfit!  Striped shirt, plaid shirts, mismatched socks and shoes! 

We did other fun things in the month of May but I will continue that in another posting soon.
