Mother's Day 2016!

 After church we went out to lunch for Mother's Day!

 Grandma and her mom joined us for lunch too.

  I'm very thankful for this little one that makes me a mom.

 I asked for plants for our patio as my present. 

 I couldn't have asked for two better plant potters! 

 After cooling off for a bit, we decided to fly a kite and go for a walk before dinner.

 At least there's a good reason for all this wind we have!

 Trying on her own . . .

 On our walk, Madi brought her kite along. 

 So while Matt was chatting with Uncle Jacob we'd walk and fly the kite.  And every so often Matt would have to untangle the kite from a neighbor's tree.

 Madi made me the most adorable card with her fingerprints as the flowers.

 I love you to the moon and back too sweet girl!

 I absolutely love reading these "all about mom" sentences.

When I asked her why she would buy me new clothes if she could buy me anything, she said "It's because when I go shopping with you, you take so long and try on so many clothes!  So I'd buy you new clothes so I don't have to go shopping with you!"

Trapped! & Sound of Music!

 Friday night we went to Trapped! with the Foley's to try and escape The Fortune Teller room while the kids played at Ready Set Go! all night!

 Right after we escaped I remembered Madi asked for pictures inside the room so I snapped some as we were leaving.

 We escaped!

 And we beat the best time on record!

 Saturday morning, Madi and I met Shay and Maisen at Home Depot to make a bird house.

 The girls had a blast and then Maisen spent the rest of the morning and afternoon with us playing.

 They would sneak in to the living room and put stuff on Matt's head while we were watching TV.

 The best part is that he barely noticed.

 The bow made of duct tape and necklace were nice touches too!

 Saturday evening we cooked out for Mother's Day!

  Then Madi, Grandma and I met the Daniel girls at The Sound of Music musical at Cooper High School.

 Selfie with Grandma!

It was a great show but super long.  We didn't get out until 10pm!  That's late for these girls!

2nd Grade Field Trip & Cinco de Mayo

 Last Saturday was beautiful so I spent part of the evening reading in Madi's hammock. 

 I relaxed while Matt grilled our dinner.  We also bought a hot tub that will be on our patio in a few short weeks! 

 How can I say no to taking bubble baths with my girl?!?

 Quick family movie night and I see Madi and her Daddy's hands like this . . .

 The rest of our Jane Goodall costume came in the mail so we tried it on.  We are now ready for the living museum in a few weeks.

 Someone hit our rock again . . .

 Thankful we have the rock to keep people from hitting our fence!

   Sunday night we cooked dinner for the college kids at church.  The kids as well as the adults helped serve and clean up.  It was a fun way to spend Sunday evening!

 Monday morning I went in a little early so Matt texted me this picture saying Madi wanted to say "Look I'm almost as tall as Daddy!"

 Ready for another week - Monday!

 A kids meal toy had a lemonade stand replica which got Madi even more excited to participate in Lemonade Day coming up on the 14th.

 Another award for her swim team this year!

 3 awards for 3 years of swimming!

 Tuesday

 Wednesday in our Super Second Squad field trip shirts!

 I met the buses at Science Spectrum for their spring field trip.

 Excited to go in!

 Blurry . . . because they never slowed down!

 Shadows . . .

 Spaceships . . .

 Rock walls . . . 

 and bubbles!

 Plus a quick pic with mom!

 Then it was off to the park for a picnic lunch and to play the rest of the afternoon.

 As if the park all afternoon wasn't enough sun for me, I started my women's Get Golf Ready clinic that evening.  I'm slowly learning the game of golf! 

 Thursday

 After tumbling, we invited Grandma to eat a new Mexican food restaurant in town to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!

 Grandma definitely enjoyed the evening!

 The food, atmosphere, band, and company were all great!

 Friday

And another busy weekend ahead!
