May: Walter turns 5!

Guess who is 5 and not afraid to let you know it?

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!!!!!

Walter was so excited this year to have his Pre-K class over to have a combined party with his BFF Cooper!  Cooper lives right down the street, is one of four boys, and his birthday is the day before Walter's!

Doesn't get much better than that!

Walter and Harrison!

The moms who made it happen...no worries that it started raining 20 minutes before our "outside party"!  We had it all under control!

As I say every year as my child turns the next age....

I can't believe this is REALLY happening!!!!

He even learned to ride his big boy bike without trainers before the big day!

Sweet Walter you have taught me so much about how to be the mom of a boy!  Thanks for going light on me...so far:). You AMAZE me each day with the things that you do!  As much as I hate that you are getting older I can't wait to watch you grow!

Love you to the Moon and back!

May: Dance Recital

Whew!  I still get worn out thinking of this day!  Three daughters...three costumes....two recitals back-to-back....all day long...grandparents in town....tornado about to touch down!  Sounds like a hot mess!  Welcomes to my life!

Yes we survived, but boy were we tired!

Getting ready for the BIG show!!!

My sweet "Annie"

That is a smile...sort of!  Tumbling was her dance of choice this year!

Loved seeing this one do the "Hoe Down"

Brother was a trooper this year!  Hope these girls remember how much he loves them!

May: Caroline is THREE!!!!

She is full of spunk and keeps us all on our toes!

Can't believe my baby turned three today!!!!

6:00am....one hundred jumps on the new trampoline!

Fun birthday play date/lunch at the park with sweet Campbell!

She can't believe she is three either!!!!!

Loves waking up on their birthdays to a decorated doorway!

Dinner of choice...Chucky Cheese of course!

Happy 3rd Birthday!!!!

Birthday party at "My Little Dollhouse"

Happy special day to you sweet girl!

Mommy loves you to the Moon and Back!

Thank goodness for sweet friends who share their "safe room" when a tornado is on its way!

His turn to bring home the class monkey!

Sack races on Field Day!

Matching friends on Field Day!

May: Mother's Day

What's a momma to do when her husband is on call the weekend of Mother's Day?????

Pack up her four kids and head to the zoo!!!

I had actually been looking forward to this for some time!  We had lived here almost a year and we hadn't yet made it to the Tulsa Zoo!  I was pleasantly surprised!  It was easy to navigate, held the kids attention, and we were able to get through the entire zoo with no meltdowns!

Train Ride!

Choo Choo!

Harnessed bouncing????  

Not sure what this was called but it was a ton of fun!

Get it Isabella!

Walter giving it a go!

Caroline's turn!

Perfect day for me!  Sad I couldn't spend it with my mom and Kyle but very thankful for the many blessings that I have 

Go Margaret!

May : First Communion

Such a special day to see my girl make her First Communion!

She even honored me by agreeing to wear my First Communion dress!  Not sure if she realizes yet how much this means to me!  I did let her choose her own gown and shoes!

Of course she was the prettiest girl there!

Mimi & Papa

Nana & GranStan

Loved that we got to spend such a special day with family!
