It's May!

I feel better knowing I've been posting more often!  Usually because I know something is coming up that I'll have to post so I better take care of the recent stuff!

Out here in KY, we're just finishing up our school year and racing season.

Kris took the kids to the Maifest this weekend.  They got a preview of the upcoming Three Springs Carnival.  Ryan was disappointed to see he was getting too big for some of the rides and since Kris took the kids by himself, he couldn't take Ryan on any big ride.  Everyone got so tired, they took some rest listening to music once they were done riding the rides.  Emma actually fell asleep on some random lady!  They headed to a graduation party afterwards.  While this was happening, I was enjoying some quiet time at home and then meeting some friends for the Tap N Run.  5 beer stops along a 2.5 mile course.  Fun, but poorly organized.  At least we had a great time!  Only one more race for each of us until summer is over.  A 5k for Kris that we won't be here to see and a Mudathon for me.  Looking forward to it!

Ryan - too big for the baby Scrambler!

Over spring break, I let the kids finger paint.  I'm so bad at letting them do creative things like this that I always feel bad and try to do it when I get enough motivation!  Anyway, these are pictures displaying their finished product.  I love the one with all 3 because it's each of their hands!

 Emma finished school today.  I'll post a picture of that later.  She had her class picnic on Monday.  It took all morning, but I finally got a few pictures of her with some of her friends and her teacher Mrs. Kemp.  Yes, she is holding hands with Ethan - they both love each other so much!  It's a good thing he lives nearby and should go to elementary school with her.  She had a great year and I'm so proud of the progress she made!

Ryan was very excited to be able to attend the picnic since he was out of school for voting day.  They all had a great time, although it was crazy for me (4 classes of kids plus all their siblings at a small park makes it hard to find mine!)

These pictures are just random ones that have been happening.  The pictures above I took because Emma just looked so darn cute in her purple outfit and looked like she was going out for tennis in the other one.  The one to the left is displaying things Emma made at school.

Nick discovered the bubble mower this past week.  While it no longer blows bubbles, he still loves cutting the grass - after all, he's never seen it blow bubbles!

And my Ryan is loving playing with all the toys that are way too small for him.  Rolling down the driveway and street on a tricycle and fitting himself into the Little Coupe!
