Last night Randy and I were able to go to bike night.  Thankfully, Peggy watched Memphis so that we could enjoy a little bit of free time together!  We meet up with Chris, Sara and Craig and had a nice time just walking around (or sitting on the curb if you are Sara and I), good food and the band was also pretty good (is it sad that I thought it was way too loud, does this mean I am aging myself by saying that?)
All in all it was a good night and I was so thankful to get on the bike with my husband and spend some time with him!

Wednesday May 9

Another reason why I can't wait for summer vacation!  I get to play and have fun with this little boy too!  He will do what he can to keep me on my toes as we always have to be on the go!  Love you Noah Matthew!

Tuesday May 8

Today is National Teacher Appreciation Day.  Do you think my students will know this? (HA!)  However, I am down to about 7 days of school left.  And then bring on SUMMER!

I have a lot planned this summer; playing with Noah and Memphis, painting a garage, cleaning house, going to spend 5 days with my mom and nan, playing softball (yes, I get to play again, now that I am not coaching), maybe doing a little golfing, some swimming with the two boys, working on a tan, and going on a summer vacation and not having to plan it around high school softball season!

Can't wait to play with you all summer long Memphis Dean.  I know you will love the pool, playing with your big brother and cousins.  Oh, what a summer it will be!

Monday May 7

Happy 2nd Birthday Riggins!  We got to celebrate Riggins' Birthday a day early yesterday.  We had lots of fun and I think Rigs did too.
Last night I was able to get my tomatoes planted in my garden, now I just need to get the rest of my garden in.  My goal is to have the garden complete this week.  However, if the rain continues it will continue to push off me getting it done.

Happy Birthday Rigs!

Make a wish!

Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday Dear Riggins, Happy Birthday to You!

Last night I had the Teacher Appreciation Dinner out at Camp Dodge, so Randy and Memphis had to fend for themselves.  When I got home, Tony was there to keep them company.  Memphis just loves his Uncle Tony, especially when he is talking to him in his chinese accent!

Yeah we are cool and we know it.

Check out Memphis' teeth!!!  He has 3 on the bottom and 1 on top with his other front one on its way in!

Monday May 2

Happy Birthday to Nan (my grandma) or GG as the kids know her!  I hope your day is wonderful!  And we can't wait to see you in June and then again in July.  (Nan, just so you know be aware that I will be snapping some pictures of you when I see you as I have no pictures of you at all!!!)

Last night Jaycee and Riggins were over at the house for a little bit while Tori and Tyler went to Jaycee's Preschool Parent's Night.  It was nice having the kids over but again, so that they could all play together.  I can't wait for Memphis to really start playing as him and Riggins will be the best of buddies being just a little over a year apart!  It will be nice that they will always have someone they can play or hang out with :)

No pictures today...maybe some will come tomorrow.

Tuesday May 1

May is finally here!  It is a wonderful month full of school getting out, birthdays and warmer weather.  This month is becoming a busy month of baseball for us.  Last night Noah had another game and he got to catch last night.  He had never caught before and for never catching he did a pretty good job!  We have some things we need to work on but he said that he really liked it.  Now we literally need to learn to catch much better.  He got another hit last night and was so happy.
Thank you to all that came out to watch Noah last night!

Noah catching!  We need to work on getting all the way down but by the end of the game he was getting down further!  I can't wait to help him out, we already have plans to practice on Sunday.

Tony and Great Grandma Palmer

Noah taking a big swing but missed the ball.

All ready, lets try that again!!!

A much better swing!  He really is improving each night.  We love watching him play and improve each day.
