What happened to May?

Field Day at school: Here is a pic of Tanner doing the obstacle course. In most events the class participates as a whole and which ever class has all the students finish the event first wins. Tanners class did well and I think finished in the top 3 in all 5 events. Tanner did exceptionally well in the 50 yard (or however long it was) dash. He was the #2 boy in his class and he was the best wiffle ball hitter.

Here is Grace winning the 50 yard dash for her class. I felt bad because they take all the #1 finishers from all the classes and put them in a final race. Well, Grace's class was the last one to race so as soon as she won her race she had to go right back to the starting line and race again. She finished last in the final race but I'm blaming it on she had to run two races back to back and all the rest of the girls got to rest! :0)


We finished up spring baseball in May. Tanner's team did very well despite a terrible mid-season slump where they lost 5 in a row. That was awful. But they came back strong and finished third in their division. Way to go Angels. This pic is CJ pitching and Tanner hitting.
Honestly, I'm not sure how Grace's team finished in their division. Middle of the pack I assume. Half way through the season Grace told me she wasn't going to play baseball next year because it was boring. I said, "you mean you aren't having any fun?" she replied "the snacks are the funnest part." hahahaha. She has come back around though and may play again in the fall, we'll see. She will still be T-ball but Tanner will move up to Mustang (first level kid pitch) in the fall.

The kids both earned awards at school this year. I was so proud of them both. Grace got certificates for great handwriting and mastering all kindergarten math skills, a Terrific Kids award, and a ticket to Six Flags for their reading program. Tanner got a certificate for an "A" on every spelling test, the Terrific Kids award, and a ticket to Six Flags for their reading program. Tanner also got a medal for A/B Honor Roll, and they BOTH received the Presidents medal for their class for being outstanding citizens.
Grace's kindergarten music program was right at the end of the school year. It was a jungle theme and she wanted to be a lion....ROAR!
And to top off the month we went on our 2nd annual Memorial Day camping trip. 5 super fun families (10 adults and 10 kids from 3-9yrs), and 3 birthday celebrations: Erin 8, Grace 6, Hayden 6 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
We are so blessed with a small group of GREAT friends. Life is good.
