May in Review

I was organizing photos today and decided I would post some from this last month. It was a fun-filled 31 days. To begin with, we added a new family member--fluffy. Fluffy is well-loved and always has someone wanting to snuggle it. I'm telling you, it may just look like a pillow, but it is really a little bit of bedding heaven.

Bev was baptized.

Melanie came to town and my mom took us all to Wicked (loved it!) It was so fun having all of my siblings there and almost all of our spouses there (we missed you Doug.)

Maui (a.k.a. heaven on earth.)

On Mother's Day I took this picture of my grandparents. This picture is worth a thousand words to me.

We were so blessed to be able to celebrate our other Grandparent's 65th Wedding Anniversary. I made a cake and we had a really nice celebration.

Mike's brother Ben came from Alaska for the celebration. It is never boring when these four are together.

The boys all went on the Father and Son's Campout with my dad. They had a wonderful time and A and C came home really dirty. They were so dirty that a regular bath with a washcloth didn't cut it--I had to scrub them with a brush. (Oh, that sounded mean--I was gentle.)

Bev started going to Activity Days. She was beyond excited for the Mother-Daughter Tea Party.

The scouts had a Raingutter Regatta. Andrew and his Sea Dog took 3rd place.

Andrew decided that he wanted to learn how to mow the lawn. Mike will still need to help him out for a while, but I love that we are getting some good little helpers trained.

Mike is coaching Kiki's soccer team. He loves playing. (He also loves to volunteer to sit out.) His favorite is when he can play goalie. Mike is working with him on staying on his feet. He wants to slide whenever he kicks the ball. I love watching him play. Oh, and he got to pick his jersey number.

Mike has also been coaching Andrew's flag football team. It's been a little bit of a rough season, but hopefully we are learning the art of having good sportsmanship in both winning and losing (but mostly losing this season.)

Oh, and Angels and Demons. I got obsessed with seeing the movie after reading the book, but then Mike read the book so I had to wait to see it (loved the book, really liked the movie.) And a movie just isn't a movie without a little ice cream. (wink, wink.)

What a busy, fun month we had. Hopefully the next is as fun (and not as busy.)
