Wow! I can't believe we are almost a week into May already! Pretty soon it will be summer! Here is a recap of what we have been up to since our last week in review!
 |
| Yep...We had pancakes again! Really it's not that we eat pancakes all that often, I just seem to have the camera whenever we do eat them. But I'll admit, there are days that the boys and I declare it "Pajama and Pancakes Day" and stay in our PJs all day and eat pancakes! |
 |
| We had a number of friends come over at the beginning of the month including the Sproles who invited us to a fun playdate at the park near our house! |
 |
| Which included playing in the mud! |
 |
| We had to make a trip to the doctor's office for Meredith and Jackson ... |
 |
| The boys were excited we got the super hero room! |
 |
| John got to catch up with our neighbor's grandson, Chase...It looks like a pretty interesting discussion... |
 |
| James taught the kids how to play kick ball... |
 |
| We had another fun playdate with my friend Hannah at the park! |
 |
| We made another trip to the doctor's office...This time for Bella... |
 |
| The boys were excited we got the super hero room again! |
 |
| We did a family camp out in the livingroom... |
 |
| The next morning we headed to church to meet for a ward service project in our community. This year, we cleaned up local cemeteries. |
 |
| We went to various cemeteries around town and picked up trash, pulled weeds, cut branches, etc. |
 |
| I loved that this year's project was a "family" project. |
 |
| Afterwards, Cardi stacked up all the mattresses in the livingroom and made a nice bed... |
 |
| which was very comfortable! |
 |
| We went shopping at Walmart...They had this cute display in the back of the store! |
 |
| We went to Florida to see my brother who was having brain surgery. |
 |
| We got to spend some quality time with our family in Florida. |
 |
| Some of us even got to learn a new skill... |
 |
| Others of us thought "Hey...I can do that!" |
 |
| and so they did! |
 |
| We ended up with sick kids again and |
 |
| Back at the doctor's office! |
 |
| 2 weeks later we were feeling better! |
 |
| We decided to get cable... |
 |
| That poor cable guy worked really hard to install a new line to the house... |
 |
| My friend, Hannah, stopped by with flowers and cleaning supplies...She hadn't heard from us for a while and wanted to make sure we were ok... |
 |
| And Jackson...who is 5 in case you forgot... |
 |
| is officially registered for KINDERGARTEN! |
 |
| After registering Jackson for school, he helped print off the school newsletter... |
 |
| This is Bella's class art work. Before I forget, Bella's artwork was selected to be put permanently on display in the city of Oak Ridge Student Art Work. There is an award ceremony on Monday night! I'm sure I will snap a few pictures to share! |
 |
| Things went a lot faster when this awesome kid showed up to help! |
 |
| Then our sweet Bella showed up! |
 |
| She read to Jackson while Cardi helped me put the newsletters in the teachers' boxes... |
 |
| Which didn't take too long! |
 |
| As part of his registration packet, the school gave each kindergartener a new pack of crayons and brand new scissors. Our Jackson wasted no time in crafting his own projects at home... |
 |
| I just wish he hadn't used his new scissors on my $90 slip cover... |
 |
| Today we had a fun playdate with friends..which is good b/c we haven't been feeling well and so we have not been out of the house for almost 2 weeks...I'm SO grateful for great friends! |
 |
| I'm also grateful that our kids have such great friends! Hmmm....John really did have a shirt on when we arrived... |
