A Busy May!

Our days are so full lately that I feel like I'm barely keeping my head above water.  Ava is such a busy girl this spring and I'm trying to stay on top of soccer schedules, swim lessons, recital meetings, and end of school parties.  Everything will slow down in June and I can't wait to play poolside with my two kiddos for two and a half months with little else to do but hang out with our sweet friends!  As busy as our days are, it is so worth it for this smile......

We had our recital meeting and costume fitting last week since we are just a few weeks away. 

Ava is in love with this year's outfit and I don't think these girls could look any cuter if they tried!

We just have one more soccer game this season.  It's been so fun watching her play.  She is twice as confident as she was last season and usually scores a goal or two which is always very exciting for her.  She has such a sweet little team and they have had a really fun season.

She had a great first day of swim lessons last week! 

Even though it's a busy month we wanted her to start June swimming with confidence.

Her spring program at school was a couple of weeks ago.  It was mostly a display of what they have learned in body movement class. 

Ava was so happy that Daddy was there to do a "silly dance" with her.

Splash Day is Thursday and I'll have to pick her up right after for Kindergarten Round Up at her new school! I'm trying to stay really excited about it so I don't fall apart.  So far so good.
This little guy stays pretty busy too.  He's always been a left handed batter but just the last couple of weeks we've noticed that he uses his left hand most of the time to draw as well.  What are the odds that we would have two lefties? 

He always begs to "climb tree" at this park we ride our bike to.  I finally gave in last week and lifted him up to sit on some branches.  He thought it was the coolest thing ever. 

He loves to grill outside with Daddy on the weekends!

And play with his little partner in crime.  He loves when Presley comes to play!

They were playing 'garden' today they said.  All the water from the water table made its way to the flower pots on the patio :-)

And of course he loves to play with his big sister. 

They were 'cooking' up all kinds of yummy treats for us Saturday night.

The days are long but not long enough lately.  I need a couple more hours to feel like we have everything done and ready for the next day.  I guess things will be even crazier when Keegan starts school and sports.  I better adjust :-) 

Jeff took this picture of the three of us Friday night which is so nice because I'm with them every day but rarely take pictures with them.   I am so, so thankful for these two. Time is flying by so quickly.  I'm trying to soak up these days and hopefully remember them in the years to come!
