Today was Zach's last day of Kindergarten! I am so proud of how much he has learned and how great he is reading. He had a baseball game tonight so we celebrated afterwards with Orange Leaf.
May 25th - Memorial Day
We had a great and busy Memorial Day! We started the day off with brunch at Prairie Meadows followed by some horse racing. Later we went to Heritage Park to ride the carousel. We ended the day celebrating Grandma Bailey's 85th birthday!

Zach, Chris, & Craig put out flags for Memorial Day with the Sons of the American Legion. Chris sent me this picture of our helper. I couldn't be any prouder of my little man!

Tonight we went to a beautiful country wedding for one of Chris' former co-workers. It was a great time and Zach had a blast playing with all of the other kids. I painted Bailey's toenails for the first time for the occasion! Congrats Amy & Seth!

Happy Mother's Day! We had a great time having lunch with the Huntrods & supper with the Palmers. I didn't get a picture of myself (or my mom) today so I am adding one at the bottom from another day.

The first picture is of my very happy girl at 6:30am this morning. That little stinker does not like to sleep in most days.
The second picture is a happy baby at her brother's baseball game.

Friday was the end of year celebration for kindergartners at Southeast Elementary. Chris & I were there for 2 hours and got to see all of the stations they have been working on throughout the year. They even did a Reader's Theater (Zach was X) that was so adorable. Zach had his lines memorized and did a great job. He has learned so much this year and we will miss his teacher a lot! First grade here he comes!
May 4th
Zach's kindergarten class went on a field trip to the Des Moines Playhouse to see Charlotte's Web. There was a lottery to pick 2 parent chaperones and I was chosen! We had such a fun day and the kids all did a great job siting through the show. They had been reading and discussing the book so they were very familiar with the story. It was a great day.

Another nice day, another long walk.
Don't you wear a girly sun hat with your brother's hand-me-down motorcycle jammies? :)
I tried to get a picture of both of them smiling under the flowering tree but Bailey was too distracted by the prickly grass to look up!

Today Bailey and I went on a long walk and she had her first ride on a park swing. She loves being outside and we are loving the warmer temperatures finally!

Today Zach lost his other top front tooth! His smile looks a little like a jack-o-lantern now (but much cuter)!

Today Chris joined the Za-Ga-Zig Shrine in Altoona. In case you aren't familiar, their mission is to support The Shriners Hospitals for Children and to enhance the
quality of life for kids. I am so proud of my Fez Head.
Bailey loves her daddy so much she feel asleep sitting up cuddling him tonight. Life doesn't get much better than that!

I LOVE seeing Zach's artwork from school. These little joyful people and their spiky hair make me irrationally happy!

Zach lost his top front tooth tonight! It was so wiggly he could pretty much turn it completely around. He was walking to the kitchen to get a paper towel and it just fell out. His adult tooth is already peeking through!
April 11th evening
He's the cheese to my macaroni, the
bacon to my eggs, the peanut butter to my jelly...my dream come true.
I never expected the extra guilt that comes with having 2 kids...the feeling like I am always letting one down and always trying to ensure they both are getting enough attention and love. I am eternally grateful to this little man of mine who has been so patient and loving during this big transition to a family of 4.

A pretty baby playing on a quilt and the exact second she first realized I have been putting big bows on her head...and she is not happy about it! :)

More crazy baby food face pictures! Despite the look on her face in the second picture, carrots are her favorite and she tries to devour the spoon if you don't feed her fast enough!
