Life Lately {April & May}

Life has been so busy and crazy lately. From Spring Break to the last week of school, it has passed in a flash. Now it is June! Yikes! I was so sad to see the school year end but only for one reason. It means Mere is another year older , will be in 5th grade, and Max in kindergarten in the fall. My momma heart just isn't ready for that. However, I am over the business that May brings with it for school. We had tons of soccer games, family day, Mere's birthday, my dad's 9 year anniversary, Mother's Day, lots of field trips, field day, Max's preschool graduation and more. I have barely been able to keep up with it all. On top of that I have picked up a few 3rd shifts at work. It will all be worth it come Sunday when Nick and I head to Charleston for a 2 day getaway.....with NO KIDS! All the praise hands! Sharing a little recap of life lately! I kind of took a blog break. I love it because I love to write and can use that part of my brain. But have been so overwhelmed I took a break. Hope to get back on a constant blogging schedule plus a new design! Warning.....picture overload about to happen!

I have no idea how 9 years have passed since I last saw my dad. Some days I can pretend we are both super busy and haven't been able to talk. Other days it hits me like a ton of bricks right in the gut. It makes me terribly bitter that my kids miss out on an amazing grandfather. Luckily they have my mom who picks up the slack and is amazing in her own right!

  

Not sure how this girl turned 10:( It has gone by so fast and makes me so sad. I just want to bottle these kids up and make them stop growing.

We celebrated Mere's birthday right after one of her soccer games. Of course it rained! But we are thankful for our friends and family who came to celebrate her anyway!

My baby is going to be in Kindergarten:( He was so cute during his program!

Field day! And I love these sandals from Target in rose gold. They are just as good as the more expensive Birkenstocks. Comfortable and cheap!! Win , win!!

Last day of 4th grade:(

Meredith receive a $1000 scholarship towards tuition next year.

Enjoyed a day at the zoo with my wild man!

Mere was in a soccer tourney Memorial Day and her team won!! I have loved watching Mere grow as a player this year!

Water balloon fight with Max

I am ready to have a great summer. I have been working on a bucklist . I try to do one each summer! The kids love putting a check mark by each fun thing we do! What is on everyone else's bucket list? Have a great weekend friends and say a little prayer for me. Doing a Mud Run with a group of friends and the husband. I am terrified to say the least haha!!
