May....what's that?

So April's fun, because it's my birthday month, and we see the end of the school year coming, and baseball is kicking off, and it's finally warming up........and then MAY hits. And honestly, by the time I even really realize it's actually May..........it's June. 11th. I'm not even kidding when I say May stinks, and I have absolutely zero memories from the month. Okay, I do, but only thanks to cameras and photos. Don't get me wrong, we had a LOT of fun in May, but it came and it went and now it's June, and I'm already dreading that summer will fly by as fast as May did.

So let's recap May. Shall we?


The first week alone had 2 field trips & a Mom's day at school. I was blessed to take the time off work to enjoy each of the field trips with the kiddos.  First up was Emmalyn and her preschool class to the Columbian Park Zoo. Highlights? Mom getting peed on by the tree-frog in the classroom animal meet & greet, but the "educator" saying, "oh, don't worry, that's just water". She must have thought I was 4 too! :( We got a good laugh out of that. It was a quick field trip, complete with a ride on the train. We left the zoo, and grabbed a quick ice cream treat from Frozen Custard, then back to my office for the day. Emmalyn was in heaven being the center of attention at my office! What a special day to share with her....I keep asking her to stop growing. She says no. I don't get it...I could keep her this age (minus the whining) for a long time. So sweet!
Emmalyn & Addison Govert on the zoo train!



Thursday was a trip to Fair Oaks with the 1st grade class. Again, so fun to share this day with Colton. We have been a number of times, but it's always fun to go back and see what's new. Plus, I LOVE watching the kids interact with their classmates, perhaps more than the field trip itself. I got some good Mom-to-Mom time in too, on the car ride up following the bus! A super day, and our first experience with Fair Oaks Ice Cream. WORTH the hype!


Of course, we couldn't end a busy fieldtrip day in May without a ball game too -- thankfully, Keaton's a real ladies man...and finding someone to play with him isn't too tough!
 What can I say...it was a BIG Thursday for these two....

Friday morning was Memories with Mom in Colton's classroom...and he did perfect. He even sang the cute song to me!
Of course, a plus of the month of May, is Mother's day -- and how blessed I am to carry that title. These three little bundles of energy and chaos bless me beyond measure. We had a great day -- brunch with the Stockment's and steak and fabulous potato casserole by Uncle Matt,with the Hall Family!

Mostly, May was filled with a LOT of baseball and t-ball and late nights. 



Dinner at 8pm wasn't out of the question, and signing the May reading log...........................................we were lucky to get the reading log back in the folder, let alone signed. It was nuts!! And though Keaton's typically a good sleeper....the later he was up, the more we fought him at bedtime in May. Really though....how do you deny that look....and those vrroom vrroomm sounds....he's a real farmer at heart! 




We found some down time here and there...and were able to actually enjoy life at home. Mostly late on a Saturday afternoon or of an evening...but we had some fun too.  Mushroom hunting in the rain, and a water table for.....big kids? Em didn't seem to understand the water table was not a Pool! :)

We spent Memorial Day weekend camping which was a total blast, and very relaxing...even though we did a lot of running with ball games, wedding, etc. The weather was PERFECT for the Splash Pad they had there...all the kids enjoyed it! Even Keaton!


We rounded out the month with 9 straight nights of activities, including Emmalyn's graduation from Preschool! So hard to believe this little beauty will head off to Kindergarten in the fall!!

So you see....thank GOD for pictures and memories. May was a BUSY one....but we had a lot of fun! Guess what...it's June 11th, and then fun hasn't stopped yet!!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
