May

 This month has flown by! I can't believe it is already almost over! I am glad too though because it means it is summer!!! Woohoo! The SAGE test got pretty stressful for me the last few weeks of school so I am looking forward to the break! The other weekend the boys and I did their schools 5K! Lots of fun!

 Doran pulled out a tooth all on his own! It is the fourth tooth he has lost.

 Seth got me an awesome Giants Super Bowl ring for mother's day. I love it so much!

 Doran had an Author's Fair at school. We got to go and look at all that he has worked on all year. It was so fun to see the progress in his work and see what he chose to write about.

 It was also circus day for the first graders so he was dressed up like a ring master!

 We have been spending as much family time together as possible! Seth is getting a bit more overtime the last little bit so we love when we get to spend time with him. This last weekend was rainy so we went to 2 movies! X-Men Day of Future Past was awesome! Godzilla... Not so much.

 On memorial day I took the boys to Poppy's grave. They are getting used to it. The first year they were totally freaked.

 My Mom and Kevin met us there. She wanted everyone to have on something camo because Poppy's bootcamp and he loved camo. I sure do miss him.

gardens and abscesses

 The other day I took the boys to the Tulip Festival. It is one of my favorite places there is! It is always so beautiful!

 The boys were not excited about going, but ended up loving it. They saw some garden snakes and thought that was really cool and they loved the huge fish!

 I had to take a ton of pictures. None can ever really capture how beautiful it really is there, but I tried.

 Another kids workshop in the books. They are getting excited because once you do ten you get a special pin. They are two away!

 Brock got a goal in his soccer game. He was very proud of himself. They have both been playing so hard every game. It makes me happy to see them try so hard!

 I babysat Audrey for probably the last this weekend. They are moving to California. I am pretty sad because I really grew to love her. I will miss her!

 Sunday was May 4th... Also known as May the Fourth be with you day... Star Wars day! We watched episodes 1, 2, and 3!

 Monday was not a very fun day for poor Brock! This tooth is going to be the death of me (and isn't very enjoyable for him either)! Saturday during his game we noticed he had big pockets of infection in his gum above where he had the tooth pulled in February. The dentist office was able to get him in Monday morning. They did x-rays and you could see the infection and abscess still in his gum. They had to lance and drain it and gave him another antibiotic. I really hope this is the end of it! Poor baby!

 I took him to the store after and let him pick out a treat! He is definitely Seth and my child! Ice cream! Yum!
