Fun Busy May

May was also a month of busy fun! Here you see #5 sporting some birthday gifts. She is quite impressed with herself isn't she! But, celebrating ONE is very exciting!


An outing to IKEA.....
We had to give our fun out of state company the IKEA experience. Not that we've been there more than 2 times, that is to say - I've been there twice- ever, but everyone should check it out at least once.
We checked 5 of the youngsters into the kid area, so the adults & youth could better experience the experience. - FYI if your children sit calmly, never run, yell or hide under the balls, then they'll love it. But, we had a great time!
(plan 1 hour for quick glances and at least 2 hours for quality viewing) Following our walk-about we enjoyed Cinnamon rolls and frozen yogurt - a buck $1 each. Sweet!
If you will ...please notice the photos below, one displays #4's head ice cream free
and the other....well, you know. The cheesiest grin could be evidence of the guilty
ice cream slinger.

At the end of the IKEA experience we kind of all felt
like this......







GRADUATION

#3 Graduated from Preschool! Hurrah - we are so proud. His line of the celebration chant was, "My name is #3 and as you can see I'm the funniest one on the preschool team."

What the world! We will have three in school very very soon......
It feels like we've leaped the year every year. WOW!


Our #1 guy celebrated 8 years of existence! What an amazing kid!- We are so blessed to have offspring that rock the world! We must have done something right, some time....I don't know when but We're just so thankful it worked out so FABULOUSLY WELL!


We were also so favored with the coolest company EVER! My little mother and father ventured here, along with my baby sister and her two strapping boys. Then, to add to the party harty, my second to the baby sister road tripped southward along with her spouse and their little man. Either we are hugely popular or just the luckiest dogs in the world! Thank you loved ones for being so incredibly cool and choosing to be with us. We love you!

P.S.
We know the eldest, wisest and best bread making sister would have been here if she could but I suppose she felt lousy enough from missing this party that she'll try harder to be here next time.
Tee hee!
