A Month of Celebrations!

It's been a time of celebration! We started the month with my brother's birthday. I celebrated my birthday and I LOVED celebrating with my family! We celebrated with an ice cream cake. It was always my families tradition, so my MIL has always gotten one for me, since I haven't celebrated with my family in years. 

I got a card in the mail from my sister and BIL! They are in Israel right now. I was so excited to get their card! 

 Here's a view of of our site. We are under a cover which has been a lifesaver with all the rain we've been getting. The kids can get outside, but they're protected from the rain.

 Sweetie Girl made this for me for Mother's Day. It's a bouquet of flowers! She worked so hard on it! She grabbed everything she needed and took it in her room and finished it on her bed so I wouldn't see it until Mother's Day! She's has such a sweet heart!

 We've been doing school outside on the picnic table while the boys play. She gets frequent breaks this way. She'll do a page and then play for a few minutes and then come back to do more school.

 We tested out the oven in the RV for cupcakes to celebrate Sweetie Girls birthday. I was worried about how they would turn out. I had a back up plan of buying store bought cupcakes if they failed. They turned out great! So I didn't have to go to plan B!

 We celebrated early because Grandma and Grandpa left for their summer travels before Sweetie Girl turns 7. Here are some pictures from our family celebration!

We  took the kids fishing the other night! We didn't catch anything, but had tons of fun! The boys thought it was a race to see who could reel their line in the fastest.

Baby Boy sat in his bean bag to look at this book! He kept yelling at Little Man, telling him he wanted to read it to him! "I'm trying to read this book to you!" 

Yesterday, Sweetie Girl turned 7! Y'all, I've been a mom for seven years and I can't even believe it! She's so full of life! She lives big, she loves big and she has big emotions! I love everything about her! Even when she's a struggle! 

I pray that she won't give in to peer pressure easily and she continues to be the leader that I see in her. That she will never be afraid to be exactly who she is! I love her more than I could ever express! Thank you, Sweetie Girl for making me a Mommy and teaching me SO much! 

She and I were able to go shopping. This is a tradition we've done for the past 3 years. She loves to shop, so it's the perfect thing for her to be able to pick out everything she wants. Please ignore the lack of makeup. My allergies have been kicking my rear and I mustered up just enough energy to take her shopping for her birthday.

 

The Hubs took Sweetie Girl out for lunch which is another tradition that she loves! They went to Dairy Queen because it was too rainy to go to Sonic like she originally wanted. She loved it even if she didn't get her first choice! She LOVES getting to spend one on one time with the people that she loves most! 

 We spent some time outside after dinner to let them wear off some energy. It's monsoon season here in East Texas! We're so thankful for the cover that we are under! We would not have survived this long if it wasn't for this cover!

 One of the gifts Sweetie Girl picked for her birthday were a pair of rain boots which is perfect for the weather we've been having.



We leave for the summer in less than 2 weeks! We're all pretty excited to see family and get to travel! Our first stop will be Meeman-Shelby State Park near Memphis, TN. I'll give more details on our trip as it gets closer. We've finalized more of our plans, but we're still working on some of it.

Today is my Dad's birthday and tomorrow is my sister and BIL's anniversary! It truly is our month of celebrations! So much happens in our family this month!
