More of May

 There was so much going on in May, that I needed to continue a separate post.  😉 

With school coming to a close, I invited myself to go eat with Brooks. Being his last year at Evening Star Elementary (one of my favorite places 😭), we had to go just one more time. I literally cried his last day of school as we pulled out of the parking lot.  A big chapter closed in our family…no more elementary school….  My heart could barely stand it. 

Mimi also went to eat with both kiddos.  Brooks at ESE, and Reese at Brightfield. 

Brooks had his 4th grade CLAP OUT on the last day of school. I love that ESE celebrates these sweet kids graduating elementary school every year.  

Reese, Mimi, Brynlee and Emma Grace came to cheer him on as well. 

We celebrated school being out by eating in downtown Rogers with the Sparks @ Parkside. And I had dinner and drinks with the girls.  We’re more than ready for SUMMER!☀️

As always we had our end of the year piano recital and both kids did great.  I’m not sure how much longer I can hang on MAKING them take. Jack and Reese played a duet that was so good.  Reese won an award for getting a superior on her memorization and so did Brooks. 

Told them to give me their serious face. 😂

The Garner girls went to see Wicked in Tulsa. I truly think this play might be my favorite Broadway production. 

MAYCEMBER

May is WILD. To be honest, I have mixed feelings about this month. While it’s exciting that we are so close to summer, it’s hard to see it with ALL the end of the year activities, testing, summer sports starting up, etc. 

Reese had her end of the year orchestra concert. She’s decided not to pursue the violin, since she’s taking piano, but it’s been a great experience and we’ve loved watching her learn something new. 

Brooks has been playing a few ⚾️ tournaments and won the game ball for two great hits to the outfield and pitching incredibly well.  They lost in the championship game, but did such a great job competing. 

FAN CLUB!

Girls Night with my faves 😍 And Matt won the Daisy Award at work. This is a HUGE honor, as he is nominated by patients, their families, and HCP’s in our area.

On Mother’s Day weekend, we went to see Forrest Frank in concert in Tulsa and he was incredible!  We ate at Cheesecake Factory before, then drove back home that night so we could get up and head to Branson for Brooks’ baseball tournament on Saturday. 

We didn’t come home with a ring, but we made time for some shopping, riding go carts, bonfires, and swimming. 

 

We continued this crazy month with celebrating Shelby, Kayla’s step-daughter’s, high school graduation.  We are all so proud of her and wish her the very best at the U of A.
