Breedlove Blessings X 4: May 2012

Finally....I am updating the blog. I am really far behind and not sure where to even begin at this point. So here goes! I have downloaded all my pictures from the last month so I think I will let the pictures tell you what we have been up to lately.

This picture is left over from Easter. The two little ones still enjoyed dying eggs. The funny part was about 20 minutes later their eggs became egg salad for sandwiches. So much for hiding and hunting them this year :) Thank goodness they agreed they were to big for that part.

Field Day was a blast this year for both Parker and Grayson. I have to first apologize for not having any pictures of Parker's field day this year. They have their fun day at Dellinger and I was planning on dropping by for both. I made it to Grayson's, but was running late for Parkers and when I finally arrived, the events were over. Sorry Parker for not having any pictures.

Grayson and her friend Lydia

Grayson was really good at this. Thank goodness she is more athletic than me.

The picture below is from DARE Graduation. I am so proud of this boy. His DARE essay was selected from hundreds of 5th graders as outstanding and he was invited to read it at graduation in front of his peers. It was wonderful! As I get up to video him reading it and take his picture, I notice my camera is missing the memory card, so guess what? No video or pictures from this on my camera. However, my friend did video it and hopefully will send it to me very soon and I will post. This picture is from my phone and is very fuzzy, but you can see him receiving is certificate. He also received a medal for his essay. Way to go Parker!!!

Kanon is about to head down the river with Dad. Don got a Kayak for his birthday and is looking forward to hitting the river a lot this summer. We still need to add a few more kayaks for the entire family to go at once.

During the springtime, CSL has their annual Spring Coffee to celebrate the new girls and former members. Each year, we are assigned our item to bring. This year I was extremely lucky and got to pick up mine from the local bakery. However, I did decorate my tray. Just a little girl stuff and something for mom thrown in the mix of all the children's activities and events. It's a lot of fun to get dressed up and mix and mingle with our girlfriends sometimes in a former members lovely home.

Our friends, the Conners, always have the best ideas for fun things to do. We were so excited to be invited to Twilight in Athens with them this year. Good food, drinks and fellowship with great friends. Even though...Don and I realized midnight is too late for us. We definitely can't hang anymore. We are officially old! It was so much fun watching the bicycle races and eating dinner in the turn. The pace car was flying by with only inches to spare. Good thing he was a good driver. Loved it that Jim and Cindy could also join us for the evening adventures. Earlier in the day, the kids enjoyed jumping around and playing on the bounce things for kids and Kanon loved eating the funnel cake and fried oreos and making money from KL. I think I'll keep that story from making the blog. Let's just say I am a little nervous about college for Kanon, he will make the perfect frat boy.
