May 2012

Lots and lots has happened during May.  I'm going to try to do a quick recap of everything in pictures.

Hadley graduated from her 2 year old class.  Here she is walking in...happy as a lark! :)

 Shortly after this picture was taken, she had a major melt down & refused to participate in her performance.  I think it's because she saw me, Jeremy, and John Thomas in the crowd, and she didn't want to be left out of our group.  

We've played LOTS of princess!!  I love my sweet girl.  

This little guy is growing, Growing, GROWING!!  And, he smiles all the time! 

This is the little napper John Thomas has slept in his entire life.  Once he started pushing himself out of it with his feet--while being swaddled--we decided it was time to move him to his crib.  He's super strong!  

Mother's Day came.  I got a really awesome vacuum cleaner.  This may sound boring to some of you, but this is the BEST gift for me--I'm a little OCD in the cleaning department. 

These sweet little ones have grown closer & closer. 

Hadley had a ballet recital at Montgomery Ballet.  She's obsessed with ballet, and I must say that I think she really does have a gift.  I love my little ballerina.  :)

Melt my heart....

We went to my cousin's wedding in Louisiana.  Here's Hadley at the rehearsal dinner--silly faces!  She was so sweet that night.  She loved playing with all of her big girl cousins.

Sophie, Karlie, and Hadley--this is the best picture I could get of the three of them.  They had a great time at the wedding!! 

We got home from the wedding on a Sunday night.  The very next Monday morning, I took the kids--by myself--to Florida to visit my best childhood friend, Chrystal, and her kids.  It was an amazing trip.  I'm so impressed with the way that Chrystal is on top of everything--so organized!!  I didn't take many pictures while I was there because we were so busy playing.  Here are Hadley & Sydney Anne dancing...they had a great time!!

Silly Girls!!

This is Chrystal's youngest, Blake.  He is a doll baby!!

I can't believe what a big boy Blake has become!

John Thomas was just chillin' on our trip.  He's such a good, calm, easy going baby!!

This guy has just developed leaps & bounds.  He started sitting up all by himself just a few days after he turned 5 months old.  He can roll over both ways.  He also is eating solid foods.  Any time he sees us eating something, he wants to eat, too.  I've even given him puffs and he loves it.  He's still a great nurser.  He goes to bed at 7, and he wakes up at 7:30am. I'm not sure I could ask for much more.  I'm so grateful for this gift!!

The next few weeks are going to be busy, too!  We have a family reunion coming up, and Jeremy and I have an Adult's only Lake weekend planned!!  Yippy!!  I'm about to be 30 years old, and we are taking a big beach trip.  Summer is wild and crazy!  I'm also teaching summer school with ACCESS.  On top of all of that--we just got Jeremy's Law School graduation date for next May!  I'm so proud of him!!

I'm going to try to update again soon.  I have lots more pictures & more to write!
