I mean, let's be honest. Does May even happen? It's like this glorious time of year where things are coming back to life, it's warming up, schools winding down -- but also, ALL THE THINGS happen in May. It's becoming go-time with the 4-H animals, someone has baseball/softball something every single day, there's homework or projects to finish up, field trips, Mothers Day and of course, Memorial Day camping butted up with Emmalyn's birthday. (This is your fault, young lady....if you weren't so stubborn when you were waiting out your final days, your birthday could be ON or BEFORE memorial day!!)
Hard to believe, but Colton's winding down his 5th grade year. It's been a doozy, but we have seen so much growth. The teachers cut the kids NO slack....they hold them responsible and accountable, but it WORKS. Colton has loved having Mrs. Notary....her snark and his match up perfectly! While it seemed like project after project after project this year....we made it. One more year left in the elementary and THAT is a hard pill to swallow. While Colton wrote his own autobiography, studied and presented on the State of Nebraska for the State Fair, the coolest project he did with his Dad. Together they whipped out the coolest little cabinet from an old dresser we had on hand. He wrote up an advertisement and listed it for $80. And guess what -- it SOLD! He was so excited to have sold it, and I was so happy to not have to hang on to it! That kind of project doesn't go in the memory box....but a photo will fit perfectly!
Emmalyn cruised through 3rd grade -- all the testing of iRead and Ilearn. Enjoyed Polar Express Day, and wrapped up the year with her Rainforest Project. Naturally, this big project was due at the same time as Colton's big project, so thankfully, Dad and I divided and conquered, which, amidst all these sports practices was a treat. She studied the tree frog, and did great on her project. She loved having Mrs. Mikels as her teacher and really enjoyed the seating arrangements since there were NO desks.
And baby Keat -- well, he wrapped up his last year at Bright Beginnings and OUR last year of pre-school ever. WEIRD. Keaton loved his teachers, Miss Amy, Miss Shaina and especially loved his bus driver Miss Charlene. We had some fun events, but it all culminated at graduation at the end of May. So anxious to see where the road leads for this kiddo. It's been so fun to watch him blossom as he's gone through preschool.
Last but not least, we spend Memorial Day Weekend camping at the Big Woods. It was a hot weekend with lots of kids, but like always we had a great time with friends.

We wrapped up May by celebrating Mothers Day with both of our awesome Mom's. It was a gorgeous day to spend outside. Colton's class took an end of year to trip to Indiana Beach and basically we all enjoyed the day as if we were 10. We rode the roller coasters at least 15 times, and it was so much fun!!
