May

May 1st, Sparkles finally had her babies! 3 white ones, a gray one and a tan one.

Multitasking it!

Free rides!

The boys completed another year of Awana! They've memorized scripture, given offerings and learned so much more about the Bible. We're proud of them!

We realized that our life group hadn't taken a group picture this year! I love these ladies and am so grateful that God brought us together when He did.

Play date with the Green and White boys!

Daddy's home!! 

I come back from getting Jaden at the bus stop and find this...
Anders and Cora together = no good

They're growing so fast!

Nursery Rhyme Day at school. We love some blueberry muffins here!

Well, Elijah was covered in the toy department... hehehe

Sometimes they all play nicely together.

Another Saturday at the ballpark, with cousins!

My Crew

There was a bunch of babies at our house today! 
(Cora and Anders do not take pacifiers. They found some extras in Elijah's room.)

Ridin with the windows down!

After school rest time

A morning at the park

Jaden had his last practice today. The Cubs have gown so much this season. 
I hope their friendships last forever. They are a good bunch of talented kids!

Elijah always wakes up happy, but today he was so cuddly. We love him!

The 3 of us went to get pedicures! Cora, for the birthday and me for Mother's Day. 
Elijah was so good, Sister gave him his first sucker!

Star Quest musical at church. They were great!

We celebrated Cora's birthday on Saturday, between the rain and baseball games. 
(There's another blog post about her birthday party.)

Mother's Day, with my babies.

Baby Dedication
(There's another blog post on this.)

These kids are all unique and they all keep me on my toes!

Having Kindergarten Day at school! Anders is so ready for this next step into real school. 
I hate it.

This season of baseball is over for us. We have had a wonderful time. Jaden and Anders have both become better players because of their coaches and teammates. We're going to miss our baseball family.

I got a Beach Body Wave!! It's my favorite.

We celebrated Mermaid Ava's 5th birthday at their house!

And had a sweet SURPRISE birthday party for Eric's 40th birthday!

Afterward, we stopped by Steel City Pops for dessert.

Our last Sunday as teachers in the College Dept. 
We will always love these people.

Our kitties are growing up so fast! We don't want them to ever leave us!

We loved the Teagy and KK's Spring recital. They were beautiful! 

Cry face...

Mrs. Kathy and Mrs. Kelly are the best teachers. 
Anders is really going to miss them next year!

These two...

TWO awards for his love of reading! We're still so so proud of you, Jaden!!

There was a Vietnam Memorial Ride that was going by Daddy's work, so we stayed and waved flags for them. It was such a neat experience for the kids to see.

We celebrated Boop Boop's birthday with the most amazing unicorn cake! No one wanted to eat it because it was so pretty! (We did eat it and it was the yummiest cake!)

Another cry face...
He's grown so much.
SCHOOL'S OUT!!
It's like Grand Central Station around here now.

They do have fun together!

Sweet momma and her babies.

Brothers

Fun day at MeMaw and D-Daddy's house!

Bubbas

Homecoming at Nana Fagan's church. 
5 boys in my car! (Scott and Tara had Cora and Madalyn.) 
Victory in Jesus gets me every time.
We miss you Nana Fagan.

9 months old already. Can't believe my baby baby is growing up so fast. 
He's such a sweet boy.

Memorial Day fun with cousins and friends!

Since we are (FINALLY) redoing our kitchen, we are having to improvise on meals. 
Tonight we had a pizza picnic in the floor!

Rainy Summer Days

The bear in the back... hahahahaha

Mom's Night Out with the life group.
When you're in the minivan, you gotta sit in carseats!

Lunch with Daddy!

Candyland time!
