I have let the month of May get away from me. We have been so busy this month that I haven't had a chance to catch up on my blogging, so here it goes the whole month summed up.
SOFTBALL
Softball is almost over, Tori has had several more great games pitching and earned another game ball. I'm happy she has found a sport she really enjoys, she plays soccer, does track, tired dance, and likes playing basketball so she plans on trying out for that next year but she says softball is her favorite.

HANGING OUT WITH FRIENDS
We have been hanging out a lot with our friends Nick and Mindi and our girls love pestering Nick especially Taegan. Tori and Tylee love playing tag with him but most of the time they're not fast enough to get away after they tag him before he tags them right back. Tori says Nick and her are like best buds. Our girls think he comes over just to play with them half the time.
Mindi and I had went to the store and when we got back Taegan had stickers all over Nick's and Tim's faces.
I think Toni was bored this night because she was playing dress up with Morgan (Nick and Mindi's daughter) I don't think she enjoyed it as much as Toni did.
Tylee and Morgan was helping Tim build the base for my balloon column stands. I made the balloon columns for Toni's graduation.
ACTIVITY DAYS
This was an activity Mindi and I did with my Activity Day Girls from church. We made picture books for Mother's Day and the girls loved making these. I heard one of them say, "if we're doing these for Mother's Day I wonder what we are going to do for Father's Day?" I guess that means I better get to planning.
MOTHERS DAY
I had a good Mother's Day, I always love getting the homemade gifts from the kids, they get so excited to give them to me that very rarely do I get to open them on Mother' Day. I usually have to open them as soon as they bring them home from school. We went to my moms and got to spend the day with her and I know it means so much to her so that was
special for me to get to do that.
This was an email I got for Mother's Day and I thought it was cute so I wanted to share it.
