Mr. Green Belt

Thade has been working hard to test for his latest Tae Kwon Do belt. He was so excited when his name was called last Thursday, and it was his turn to test.

He was all smiles when he earned his Green Belt!

Congratulations Thade!

The weather has been amazing, and we have been out in the back-yard every chance we get. The kids run around and play, and the pup does too. I’ve been busy cleaning, planting, and re-mulching. The yard is looking pretty good.

The lilies are in bloom, and they are so pretty.

I harvested a few Snow Peas from the garden too.

I’m ready for Summer to get here, but I’ll take as many of these cool Spring mornings as I can.

May Has Been A Blur…

May has been a month that has been difficult to keep up with.

There has been something on the calendar every single day, and I’m ready for the lazy days of Summer… This is the last week of school, and I’m really excited about it. It will be great having the kids home, and less school activities to do too. Well, a little less, there is always housework that needs done around here.

Friday Play-Date

Friday school was out, and Thade had his best buddy coming over for the day. The kids had an awesome time, and it was fun having a house full of kiddos.

We’ll have to plan a few more Summer play-dates soon.

Finally!

One of my red lilies finally bloomed! It is so lovely. The other red lily looks like it will bloom soon. Sadly, my yellow ones didn’t grow back this year. I also had a few Hosta that didn’t come back either… Maybe I need to make a run to the greenhouse and fix this problem.
