Mother's Day!

I know I'm a little behind on my posts.  I started my Mother's Day weekend by going to Hoyt's new or temporary daycare, Bright Beginnings, for a Mother's and Muffins late afternoon party!  Hoyt made me so many nice things that week at Daycare.

 

Shhhhhh Mommy is sleeping...to hang on my door! :)

 

Flowers made of his hand prints.

 

Flower pot!

After our afternoon of fun and activies, I took the kids to visit the Wilhelmi's on Friday night.  Amelia, Charley, and David also go to Bright Beginnings....its nice having them see eachother everyday like they did before at Cathy's (old daycare).  It has been way to long that we have visited them at their house.  The kids had a lot of fun, and it was nice for Angie and I to catch up!  If you ask me Hoyt is a little smitten with Amelia and I think David is a little smitten with Kali.  However, David is such a lover, and kisses and hugs everyone!

 

Kali also made me so many nice things for Mother's Day.  I think I got something from her everyday! Here are a couple of things she made.

 

 

Something blooming for Mother's Day!

 

I think it is supposed to say sweet!!! :)

 

Then a week after Mother's Day, Brianna came and surprised me and cleaned my house for a few hours....I think that was the BEST Mother's Day gift ever!!!!!  Thank you so much Brianna you are so very thoughtful.  I truly have amazing kids!!!  Thank you sooooo much!!!

 

On Mother's Day, we all went to my Aunt Vicki's where she hosted Mother's Day and she made all the mother's an amazing meal!!!  Thank you Vicki! 

Since everyone is so busy, we also celebrated Katelyn and Jordan's Birthdays too!!!

 

 

Happy Belated Birthday Katelyn and Jordan!

Happy Mother's Day Mom and Grandma!!!

 

I had to post this picture! We were trying to get a picture of Laura and her 4 boys on Mother's Day.....it looks a little hectic doesn't it.....but I guess it shows how hectic Laura's life is with 3 toddlers and a 6 year old!! :)  Talk about an AMAZING mother!!!

Field Trip

I went with Kali on her field trip on Wednesday, May 8th.  We went to Fross Park to see farm animals that the 4H Club shows.  It was a beautiful morning the weather couldn't have been better!!!

 

Started off the field trip with ice cream!!!  Can't beat that at 9 am in the morning!  Kali with her friend Addalyn!

 

 

There were a lot of animals, ducks, cows, horses, cats, dogs, bunnies, etc

 

Kali's kindergarten class!!

Kali's Tball

Kali had a really short Tball season with the weather.  She had two weeks of practice and two weeks of games (twice a week).  Many of her practices got canceled due to the weather and she missed one game because she was sick, so she only played in 4 games and 2 games were on the same night!!!

Kali only ran to 3rd base one time this season....LOL!  She was aggressive in the field like she was last year.  She was eager to go after the ball, even if it meant taking it away from a boy....sometimes it looked like a wrestling match instead of a tball game when fielding a ball!!! She did good at hitting and she even was able to hit off the coach's pitching the last game.  I think she was 1-3 on that.  After the 2nd game of the double header...she was pretty wiped and the closer she got to the base she was pratically walking to the base....believe me, we definitely had a talk about that one!!  But, overall kali improved from last year and she had fun!!!  That is what it is about!!! 

 

This picutre was taken at Kali's first Tball game...it was terribly windy and I believe that is the night the temps decreased 50 degrees....buuuurrrr!!!

 

 

The last game of the season they played most of it in the rain....but they finished the game. 

 

Here are some pictures of Kali's fans!!!  I think she has the biggest cheering sections!!!  We are very blessed to have a great family that comes out and supports Kali! :)

 

 

 

 

 

Savannah's Prom and Nash's Baptism

Saturday April 27 was Alburnett's prom.  We all went to the Grand March to see Savannah all dressed up.  She looked STUNNING.  I loved her dress...it was soooo her!!!  Savannah went to prom with Dalton Jester from Alburnett. 

 

Savannah, Hunter, and Remi all were invited to prom this year.  Savannah and Hunter are Sophomores and Remi is a Freshman.  Don't they all look beautiful and handsome!!!

All the little grandchildren, except for Nash he had a BIG day the next day at his baptism.  Below are a few pictures.

 

 

After the baptism, we went to Granite City for their Sunday brunch...I have never been to it before, and I would highly recommend.
