We had tons of fun in May, and these are not even my phone pics! It was a busy, wild and crazy month, and we loved every minute of it! Anna Kate had a blast at Avery’s mermaid birthday party! Happy 7th birthday, Avery! Noelle had the best end of year party with her friends. More pictures of that fun day below!

Rose took ice skating lessons in May. She absolutely LOVED it, but it got too hard for me to put on her skates being 8 1/2 months pregnant, so we had to take a break from lessons to have our baby!

When Noelle gets bored, she dresses up and acts out different characters. Today, she was a boy. Just a boy. And she was super funny!

When you get to 4th grade at Noelle’s elementary school, it’s like graduating high school there’s so much celebrating. They get to do so many awesome things to celebrate elementary school graduation. Today, was their 4th grade event. They got to go to the trampoline park in the morning and swimming at a fitness center in the afternoon. It’s their big end of year bash, and they’ve looked forward to it after 5 years of attending elementary school!

Gabby, Carson, Brianna, Ava and Georgia have been such great friends to Noelle and have truly brightened her days at school! So thankful for Noelle’s awesome friends!

Next up, swimming!

It was really cold in the water, so after the swim test, most of the girls laid out. They thought that was really cool! Winking smile

Georgia! Creative, cute, fun and always such a sweetie! Noelle’s life is happier because Georgia’s in it!

Fun friends!

What can you say about the sweetest teacher on earth? Noelle struck gold her last year in elementary school getting Ms. Montgomery for her teacher. She believed in her, cheered her on, complimented her strengths, watched over her and taught her more than I would’ve thought possible. I will always be grateful to her for such an awesome last year she in elementary school she helped Noelle have!

Ladybugs soccer spring 2016 was a great season of learning and growing! Lucy was out with a broken elbow and several girls were out of town for a few games, so the hustle was real, but the girls rose to the occasion, and played so hard, along with Coach Trent.

Rose is a great defender and stays with the game. She tries her best and is super competitive. When the other team scores, her walk of shame back to the middle of the filed is pretty hilarious. She takes their goals personally, which is the mark of a true defender. I really hope she’ll keep playing! She has potential, she just has to work hard and keep learning how the game works. She makes us so happy, and it is a joy to watch her play!

She’s just a tiny bit entertaining (and she knows it)! Winking smile

Go Rose!

I love joking around with Rose. We crack each other up! She is so silly, but equally cuddly and affectionate. My little baby girl!

Cutie Kate! She brings us so much joy and happiness, and I will be in her corner forever!

This night was a super fun, awesome opportunity for the girls! They were given tickets to see Joshua Evans in Dallas and even got to meet him after his show! One of the things he always says on his YouTube channel is “Be Nice To People” so we made these shirts for the girls. We all had a blast!

Mrs. Bonine is the best music teacher out there! She does so much for her students, and their performances are always so awesome! She helped Noelle find her confidence and her voice, and I will always be grateful to her for that!

The 4th grade musical was entitled “School of Rock, Time to Roll!” They were fantastic, and the recorders sounded amazing too!

Kay Kay, Grandpapa and Ava with Noelley after the show! Such a sentimental night seeing Noelle’s grade perform together for the last time after 5 years of performing musicals together. We are thankful for all the awesome experiences Noelle had in elementary school!
