May Happenings . . .

 

It was a BEAUTIFUL month of May filled with lots of tennis playing, our yard turning GREEN from Spring rain and the garden sprouting, studying for end of year tests and finals, Mother's Day and graduations celebrating, and Royals games and grilling out with friends! 

Once again, our front door was the perfect place
 (their mom told me) for these babies to be born!


Molly was one of the St. James soccer team managers this Spring  - 
she had a lot of fun as she has several friends on the team. 
She is in the white sweatshirt on the bench in this pix.




My herb and flower garden is sprouting!
I LOVE my garden!

We had our new priest, Fr. Riley over for dinner - it was wonderful to get to know him more!

Love decorating the table - just like my Mom!

I went to a fun event with several friends! One of my favorite follows/authors - TheDailyTay came to our little area of KC for a book signing/party!  She was a BLAST, as expected!

I'm such a fan - trying not to embarrass myself!!!
Very hard not to do!  ;)

Mother's Day brunch downtown after mass . . .

So so grateful to get to be their Mom. 

After brunch, we walked over to the City Farmer's Market - 


Madden turned 2! Madden lives across the street from us and Kate 
has babysat him since he moved in as a baby! She typically babysits him 2-3x a month.
They love each other!

Silly photos I get from school . . . 

Graduation parties - this one had an ice-cream truck so it was our favorite!

Molly celebrated Finals being over by going to the K with SJA friends!

Kate still plays the guitar every day - and is getting really good. 
I LOVE listening to her play . . . 
 
Kate and Lucy spent the night in a tent in Lucy's backyard the last day of school -they said they slept about 3 hours but they had a LOT of fun - so "worth it!"

Lucy and Cece joined us for a Memorial Day grill out -


Followed by Sprinklers and water guns in the front yard!

The Parrishes invited us to a Royals game in our old season seats we used to share with them - it was a gorgeous night, despite the Royals getting killed by the Yankees . . . 

Can't wait for June!It's officially SUMMER!
