Happy almost-officially-summer! We blazed through a busy May and are so happy to have landed in the slower, much-loved pace of SUMMER. Here are a few pictures from our May...
And then we headed to Bass Pro shops to look around and shop for fishing lures- one of Eli's favorite things for which to shop. :)
We ate dinner on the lake and then went back to the hotel to have cake and watch a movie.
The boys (and the Howard boys, here) fish in the creek behind our house all the time. It's super cute to watch them out the back windows.
Eli's big birthday present was a new BIKE! He was thrilled!
Here he is on his actual birthday with a few lingering presents. :)
And one more cake and birthday song...
Eli tested for his RED belt in karate. He works so hard, and, as always, we're so proud of each belt that he earns. Only two more before he tests for BLACK!
One MORE cake/birthday song, as we celebrated the May birthdays with the whole family.
Mother's Day...
More fishing...
They also catch craw-dads in the creek!
Eli had a guitar recital and perfectly played "Amazing Grace." He has been enjoying guitar much more than piano, and we love hearing him play.
Last day of 5th grade!
He got the "obedience award" from his teacher.
To celebrate, we headed to Ham's Orchard with our friends Dawn and Lauren for lunch and ice cream. He's holding up 6 fingers for going into 6th grade. :)
Kelly and I took the boys to an indoor water park called Epic Waters. The boys had a blast!
We had a low-key Memorial Day with the Heinzes, cooking out, swimming, and doing a few backyard fireworks.
We love going to a Rough Riders game in the summer. Timothy came with us this time.
After TWELVE innings, we were rewarded with fireworks!
And that wraps up May. Much love to you!!
