It's been a while....

Hey world! It's been a while since I've posted anything. We've been pretty busy, and honestly in the evenings I really don't feel like blogging. But here we are with a little catch up. Mother's day weekend was so wonderful! We didn't do anything fancy, and I didn't want any gifts. Rather I just wanted to spend some great time as a family. First Friday Ethan's class had a Mom and Me tea party. They escorted us to their seats, ate cookies with us, and had a video of each kid saying why they love their mom. It was precious and more than I could ask for! Here's buddy and I at his tea party:

Then Saturday of that weekend we went to the Rooster Day parade in downtown Broken Arrow. It is a big thing here. We got there a little early and lined up along the street and watched the parade. The kids have a great time b/c all the floats hand out either candy or fliers (and Blue bell passes out popsicles!).After the parade we loaded up, ate lunch on the way, and went to the zoo. The kids were so excited! It was a blast with them at this age! They loved the animals and asked questions and didn't get worn out until we were all done. I love the zoo and seeing all the beautiful and unique animals our Creator made. Here's Sean being a chimp:




Then Sunday after church we came home, and I got an awesome nap. Jarod grilled me some bruschetta chicken for dinner. It was so nice to just be with our family and feel loved!

Now the kids are out of school, and summer break is here. Ethan is really getting into the whole notion of sleeping in. He has slept in every morning till about 9:30 or so. Awesome! My family is coming here this weekend to spend Memorial Day together. We are very excited to see our niece and nephews!! It's was so much fun at Christmas and at least this time there won't be a blizzard!! :-)
