Our May

Our May was full with end-of-school-year activities and a taste of summer fun.

Cole played machine-pitch baseball for the first time. We were pleased that he played on the CBSI Cardinals team.  

Fun way to practice letters on a sunny spring day

Making Lego creations with buddy, Levi

We celebrated Nana's birthday and Mother's Day. 

Kieran's second preschool year came to an end. It was another fantastic year! 

Most of Kieran's class, just missing the twin boys

Another preschool year in the books, just one more to go

Kieran and I visited the neighborhood playground to celebrate a great school year. He requested a photo shoot on the playground equipment. Silly boy!

The fifth grade band put on a spring concert. They made a lot of improvement since the winter concert. They did a great job!

Caden before the concert

After Caden's band concert, he went to his 8:00 baseball game. 

Caden's class hosted a Wax Museum. Each student had to research a person from the Revolutionary War era, and then dress as that person. Caden was supposed to be still like a statue and not interact with the guests. It took a lot of convincing to get Caden to look up at me for this photo.

Caden as George Washington

 Kieran's preschool met at Southwind Park to celebrate the end of the school year.

Our screened-in porch project was completed with the delivery of furniture. We LOVE it! SO happy with how it turned out!

Enjoying lunch on the porch

Caden went to Skyzone in St. Louis to celebrate his friend, Jacob's birthday.

A little blurry, but this is Caden slam-dunking with the help of a trampoline.

Caden had yet another fifth grade project...a rocket, this time! They launched them at school. 

Kieran finally stopped being so lazy on his training wheel bike.

Go, Kieran!

Cole and two of the cul-de-sac girls

I led the final Titan Castle (a weekly reward program for students who have earned Titan Tickets for good behavior) of the school year. Thankfully, it was a beautiful morning, so I took the kids outside to make a card for any leader in the school and to decorate the sidewalk with chalk. 

Cole's teacher always sent him when she knew I was leading Titan Castle. :)

Over Memorial Day weekend, I took Cole, Kieran, and Sophia to our neighborhood pool while Curt and Caden golfed. 

At the end of May, Cole attended his friend, Ethan's birthday party at the Springfield Sliders baseball game. Caden, Kieran, and I stayed for the game instead of driving back and forth. It was a chilly night for May, but we had a good time.
