May!

Life just keeps flying by! Here's another highlight reel for the month of May:

*Elise was excited to be matchy matchy with Brynlee and Dax decided it's more fun to be a baby and regularly puts himself in the baby swing :)

 *Elise had her kindergarten concert

 *I got a couple Mother's Day surprises: yummy and fancy chocolate covered strawberries from the awesome in-laws and beautiful flowers from my amazing hubby!

 *Brynlee still fights sleep. Notice the big crocodile tears from being in her bed :(

 *Brynlee tried out her first sucker. It was a sticky mess but she loved it!

 *Cole had his first, and last, sleepover for his best friend's birthday. 

 *Ellie learned some knew tricks on the playground

 *Brynlee found her reflection and showered herself with kisses ;*

 *B with a backpack. Super random and super adorable :)

 *We found Dax's long lost scooter that disappeared after he left it at the playground. It magically appeared in front of the school!

 *Baseball season has officially begun!!!

Grandma and Grandpa!

Grandma and Grandpa Coombs came to visit!! We have to share them with Mike's family when they come to visit now so we don't get as much time as we are used to, but we still got in lots of fun memories :)

We ventured over to the Peoria Playhouse, which is the local children's museum, for a fun filled day with the little kids!

 After the playhouse Grandma threw a stellar tea party :)

Cole decided he is too old for the children's museum and tea parties, so Grandpa took Ben and Cole to Chicago for a White Sox game!!!

We ventured over to the Shoppes at Grand Prairie to introduce Grandma and Grandpa to the lion...not because I wanted to shop ;)

We also explored the Botanical Gardens in Peoria. We had never been and this was a fun and beautiful adventure for us!

We ended their visit with a sunset drive along "The World's Most Beautiful Drive"

Thanks for visiting Grandma and Grandpa! We had a great time and hope you can come back soon!!
