The MONTH of May........

We started the month out with a great Mother's Day - One of my favorite things that our Elementary School sponsors is a 3rd grade Mother's Day poetry assembly.
All the 3rd grade students pick a poem(most are able to memorize it) and all the mother's who are able, get to come and listen. This year Nicole recited hers with two of her friends.
May 8th & May 10th, 2009


EACH OF THE STUDENTS GREETED THEIR MOM WITH A CORSAGE THEY MADE! THEY WERE ALL SO CUTE!


on Mother's Day, the kids gave me all kinds of fun stuff(in the picture above). Nicole kept reminding the little boys about the "deal they had made last night" - I am assuming the deal had something to do with NO FIGHTING....GET ALONG! - definitely what a mom wants!

then real quick before church - I got them all to sit for a quick picture.......

and later that day Jessica agreed to a few more pictures....


On May 12th, 2009 - we attended the NationAl Junior High School induction for Jessica!
We appreciate how well she does in school!


May 13th, 2009
The girl's and I attended the 2nd annual "Touch 1 Life" fashion show that my sister does to raise money for "Hope's Door" (a shelter for women & children). She does an amazing amount of work in order to put this on. I admire her dedication to help other people who are in such great need! It is sponsored by her studio "Studio D" and all of the sylists there (which include her husband,Victor, & her son, Britton.


May 15th, 2009 - brought us Eric's 6th grade field trip. This is an activity the little boys & I have enjoyed tagging along to. (Ryan was at Kindergarten this time and didn't get to go - boy was he bummed!)

CINNAMON ROLLS

Before nap today Jason asked if we could make cinnamon rolls AND no bake cookies.
I told him I would think about it
(sorta hoping he would forget about it during nap) -
well, the first words out of his mouth when he got up from nap were
"can we make cinnamon rolls?"
Well, I said "yes," and the adventure began.
My kids LOVE cinnamon rolls SO much.
As we were enjoying eating them, it reminded me of one of my favorite pictures/memories.......
This picture was taken the end of 2004.......
Ryan was caught in "snitch mode"!
the crazy thing is, they weren't even cooked yet -
they just sort of unrolled as he was chewing! It really was funny!
