The Days of May...where did they go?

I am so Dang behind on my posts, and I have figured out why...I take too much time looking at everyone elses that I don't take time to post my own. Then I feel guilty for spending so much wasted time on the computer (so Dave says). I would like to set a goal of posting at least once a week.

I have a lot to post for this month of May that has suddenly disappeared from me. So for this post there will most likely be a lot of photos so please don't be too bored, and at least scroll to see pictures (I am still figuring the picture download thing out). Please forgive me, but know that I will try my hardest to do better!!

May this year struggled with warm temperatures...it rained one week, got sunny for a day, rained again for more days than it was sunny, but eventually got warm enough for me to hear the kids asking for the slip-n-slide.

This is what I saw one day after the storm...

Maci and McKay of course were caught in action!!

However, these two boys tried to hide...sorry boys (Hinckley and Anson) your autograph has been signed on the fence, and I know who dunnit!!

Anyone for a Slip-n-Slide?

I finally gave in for the second day...Maci got an Ariel Little Mermaid slip-n-slide for her birthday and she had begged (even on the coldest days) to get it out. As soon as the storms ended and the sun peeked through the clouds, out came the slip-n-slide. On the second day McKay wanted his double one out, so again I gave in, and all the kids came...It was fun taking pictures because I learned a new feature on my camera...continuous shooting! Watch McKay and Graham in action...

Here are a few of the bathing beauties...Graham, Jax, McKay and MaciSeriously why on the garbage cans? This is where I have caught them playing, I don't know why. Miranda, Tyleigh, Carsyn, Maci, Anson, and McKay.

Our Little Gymnast...Maci has been in gymnastics since January and has absolutely loved it. On May 16th they had their Exhibition and the theme was "Wild about Gymnastics". Before they started they had Cory Adams Photography there taking their photos (hence the professional photo on the star!!) The gym was decorated in a Jungle Theme, and as the kids approached they had music from the Jungle Book playing...In walked my little gymnast (an elephant) and for those that know me, of course tears came to my eyes...I am a baby I know it. It was fun to see her with her all smiles beaming as she did her little "Ta-Da's"! I was a very proud mommy, and she was a very cute gymnast.

What a cute little elephant

Just a few of her favorites...she loves the beam and the bars, however she is good at her cartwheels and with help she likes doing backbends.

I love her expressions!

And here she is receiving her goodie bag/medal!! (McKay got a medal and her heart was set on getting the same thing, oh well.)

Here are her biggest fans...thank you Grandma Sue and Aunt Julie, Grandma Vicki, Aunt Kristen and Kaiden for coming to share her special night. And of course she is Daddy's and Mommy's girl!! Way to go Maci, you did GREAT!!
