May

May... oh so busy but oh so fun! Mom's tennis team made playoffs (with 0 help of mine as Sunday kid obligations ruled this year). Avery and Carter went to the gym with me for Mother's Day where Avery won the musical chairs competition. We had a ton of fun parties including 3 Kentucky Derby events and a Progressive Dinner. And we celebrated our anniversary at 2 different baseball fields!

Derby ready!

Avery (8 years, 9 months) - Avery's class took a field trip to the Chattahoochee Nature Center and she was thrilled to spend a day not in the classroom!

And she wrapped up school year fun with a retirement party for her K teacher, sweet crafts for Mother's Day, awards day and yearbook signing.

The soccer season that would never start came to an end by playing her bestie and having an epic team party. Her sweet coaches gave every child an award with candy that represented them plus a book. Avery got Extra gum because she was always 'extra' on the field ;)

Otherwise the neighborhood pool opened so Avery had to make a daily appearance and she acted like a goofball per usual.

Parker (11 years, 6 months) - Parker wrapped up his travel baseball and rec ball seasons just in time to start All stars the next week. His rec team lost in the second round of the playoffs which wasn't unexpected. It was a great team of kids but I think they liked hanging out together more than trying their hardest on the field. Parker struggled to find his confidence after getting hurt but he is very excited to start fresh with summer ball!

Coaches going with short, shorts for playoffs - fairly sure only Colin went all in

End of year band concert

Carter (13 years) - Carter had time for a few fun activities outside school and baseball. He got to lead the annual Court of Honor Ceremony for Scouts, went to a bah mitsvah and got to see the symphony play Star Wars with dad.
