May 2021

Summer is here!!!  We're so excited to be finished with school, and we're ready to enjoy the summer.  Here are a few pictures from May...

Eli got braces!  They gave us a big speech about not eating sugar because it's bad for teeth with braces...  and then we went straight to get ice cream.  :)

On Eli's birthday weekend, the boys all went on a guided fishing trip at Lake Texoma.  They had a blast and caught a ton of striped bass.

Eli turned 13!  We celebrated the night before with the family.

And then the next morning, on his actual birthday, we had waffles for breakfast and presents before church.

He got the ping-pong paddle he had been dreaming about for months.

His birthday fell on Mother's Day this year!  We focused on his birthday on Sunday, and they took me out to brunch the next weekend for Mother's Day.

We are so proud of our TEENAGER!

For dinner, we had crab cakes, which are Eli's favorite.

One more cake and birthday song...

Jacey and Cooper and CJ had their end-of-year band concert, and it was GREAT!  

Eli had his end-of-year guitar recital.  He played "Blackbird" and "Yesterday" by the Beatles.  

Rejoicing on the last morning of 7th grade!!  :)

This weekend we had a little pre-celebration of Eric's birthday, since we'll be out of town on his actual birthday.

Eric and Eli took their little boat out for a fishing trip and had a great time. 

And that's a wrap on May.  Much love to you, and happy summer!
