Crazy May

I know, I know... It has been a while since I have posted anything. So here is an update on what we have been up too... May was a very busy month. Samantha finished up her first season of softball. She also had her school carnival and end of school awards. Cole had his last day of school activities and we spent some time on Brad and Bethany's boat. Here are a few pictures from our adventures.
This is a picture of Team USA at their team party. We all met at Fudruckers for dinner and celebrating. The girls got their own softball signed by everyone on the team and a case to keep it in.

The following Thursday the softball league had Rumble in the Park. The teams competed in relays with in the division. Here is Cole cheering on team USA.

Samantha ran in the sprint relay. Look at the facial expression... looks just like Brandon.

Cole loves to wear Sam's batting helmet. He prefers it backwards.

Samantha's team trophy. Her team also got first place at the Rumble. She received a medal for first place too.

Here are the parents and kids that make up Team USA. We had such a great time with everyone this spring.

As most of you know, on our way out of the park Samantha hit Cole's eye with her sun visor (an accident). Cole's actual eye was cut. I ended up bringing him to the hospital that night. Everything turned out okay. Here is Cole sleeping in the ER.

Cole had a luau for celebrating the last day of school. They made these hula skirts. Cole loved it and wanted to wear it the entire day.

Memorial Day weekend Timothy came in for a visit. We all went bowling on Saturday. Well Brandon, Timothy, and Samantha bowled while Cole and I cheered on.

This little girl adores her Uncle Tim!!!!

Sunday, we went to NASA. We had a BLAST!!

Our future astronaut....

Then Samantha and I went to Maggie's recital. Maggie did a WONDERFUL job.

Samantha's school had an end of the year carnival. They had face painting, snow cones, spray painting hair, finger nail painting, dancing, and a dunking booth that teachers sat in and the students threw the balls. I volunteered to help. I worked at the finger nail painting station. Can I just say I painted just as many boy nails as I did girl nails. I thought it was so funny... all the boys wanted to paint their nails multiple colors mostly of their favorite teams.

Samantha and her teacher Ms. Torres. Her hair was blue and green. And her mouth is green from her green snow cone.

The weekend before we went to the beach Bethany and Brad invited us to go out on their boat. As usual we had a wonderful time! All four kids love to sit like this as we are driving. The faster we go the more they like it.

Cole sporting his new shades.

We anchored in a cove and went swimming. Here is Samantha before she jumped in the water again.

The after picture! All four kids fell asleep on the way back in... mission accomplished! Cole is under the white towel on my lap.

Finally the last day of kindergarten!!!! Samantha loved her first year at real school. She had a wonderful teacher and mad some great friends. She is looking forward to next year and is very excited that she can now call herself a first grader.
