May Randoms…

- After the first two weeks in May, I am always officially sick of myself. With my birthday, our anniversary and Mother’s Day all celebrated in a two week span it’s a lot of attention and spoiling and it’s always extremely humbling to be loved so well. We had a birthday supper at my parents’ and the kids put on a show for all of us. They made a banner and made the sweetest cards…

Oh, Belle-Belle, I have loved you since BEFORE the day you were born, and I will love you FOREVER, too.

& Momma LOVES Maybree, too!!

- Other May babies in our family are Pappy & Parker. Their birthdays are just one day apart. We celebrated Parker at his Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party. Two nights later, we celebrated Pappy with birthday dinner, too. Family dinners have always been loud, but we’ve taken the chaos to a new high over the last few years with the addition of our littles loves and we wouldn’t change a thing about it. What a fun season of life this is.

- We moved Tuck up to the toddler bed! He was so excited about his big-boy bed and I hope we don’t regret it, because he LOVES being able to get in and out of it himself.

- Grandma was in town the week before Mother’s Day, so we all went out for an early Mother’s Day breakfast together.

- So they say… but maybe we should. ;)

-  Q & U always get married in Kindergarten at JBE, and this year was no exception.

I’ve made the wedding cake for the event since AB was in Kindergarten and I was thrilled to be asked again this year. Tucker and I delivered and set up the cake before all of the festivities in our jammies (HIM, not ME!) and sans make-up (ME, not him), and snuck in some selfies in the photo booth before we left.

- We were headed to the grocery store one afternoon and Mamie gets out of the car wearing this…and seriously wanted to leave it on. A few years and a couple kids ago, I would have probably made her take it off, but I’m way too seasoned for that now, and totally let her. ;)

- I wasn’t feeling well and missed “Muffins with Mom” this year. Boo. Thankfully, the girls had an even better Momma filling in for me. (& Tuck was with Nie-Nie, so he did, too).

- You never know who will be driving a tractor around here. I’ve seen Barbie, Woody, the American Girl dolls, and now even Mickey. (He was pulling Minnie in the wagon behind him, too!)

- AB LOVES having cows in front of our house. She rides her bike down the driveway and loves when they all take off running. She also like riding in the field and seeing just how close she can get to them.

- We’ve already broken in Pappy’s pool for the season. We always say having neighbors with a pool is even better than having your own! Ha.

- Church Kids…

- The Cattle Company built a new packing shed to pack and ship watermelons straight from the farm this year. Before the season began, we planned a little “barn blessing” to break it in and invited all of the family. Quite a few had other things going on or were out of town, but we still had quite a crowd and it was a really sweet night.

- We’re still having fun breaking in the boat and looking forward to lots more fun on it this summer.
