May Madness

Happy Birthday to me! And yes, that is a Wicked shirt. We went and saw Wicked for my birthday. And it was wicked!
Also, on a sadder note, we had our school carnival on my birthday too. It turned out really well, but was sad because I was a little busy getting ready and working instead of relaxing for my bday. But it was really fun. Here is Brandon climbing the rock wall.
Kathleen on the rock wall (for some reason Ryan took the pictures in 'antique').
Cody on the cow train.
Ryan got me a new dress for my birthday and I love it! Kathleen made me this cute little flower to wear for Mother's day.
For Mother's Day Ryan and the kids planted flowers for me out front. I have always wanted flowers, but I tend to kill everything I touch (lucky my kids are still alive). So he finally did it for me and they are BEAUTIFUL!
Our Mother's Day tradition is that the kids make me breakfast in bed with much help from daddy. Then they all climb in bed with me and help me eat it while I open presents. It is so cute. And yes, I slept in my Wicked shirt. It was too awesome to take off.
Okay, this is kind of random, but I love the view from my bathroom window in the spring. Thanks to my neighbors for the beautiful tulips and all the pretty trees.
Brandon lost his first real tooth. He fell on his face when he was two and chipped a tooth and it got infected and he had it pulled. But this one fell out all on its own. He was so cute.
Crazy hair day:
For Cinco de Mayo, we pulled out the slip-and-slide. The weather was gorgeous. To think that less than a week ago it snowed...
Oh, and we pulled out the sprinkler for the the trampoline:
Oh, and badminton also:
Cody got himself all ready for school the other day. "Mom, don't I look awesome?" Yes, yes you do. He is wearing all the necklaces, a hat, and a bracelet that he made in preschool this year. And yes, I let him wear it all.

Looks like a busy but eventful weekend. Glad you had a good Birthday despite the crazyness. The carnival was so fun, you guys did a great job.

Happy Birthday! I didn't realize Friday was your big day- you did get the shaft- no one should work that much on their birthday- but I guess the rules are different when you are the best PTA Pres EVER.
I'm so glad the show was fun!
