Where has May gone?

I just realized the May is quickly coming to an end and even though we have been doing tons of exciting, fun and crazy stuff, I've posted nothing on the blog. So instead of trying to play catch up, I've made a nice, big list of all the stuff we've been up to. As you'll soon discover, May was nothing close to boring at our house.

***************************************

And because this post is so text heavy, here is one of my favorite photos from May. I really wanted a photo with Grandma and Grandpa and all the grandkids and this is as good as I could get. Aiden and Grandma are the only ones even paying attention. Katelyn is looking at the parking lot. Sydney is cuddling with a rock. Abby is poking herself in the eye. Evan is eating Grandpa's watch. Grandpa is laughing. But everyone is happy....and that is all that matters.

Wow - that IS a busy month! I'm not really sure we did much of ANYTHING in May.

Super cute picture - even if the subjects are a bit distracted!

That is the cutest picture! I want to hang it on my wall.
