busy month!

As most of you know or are learning or have known for a long time, when you have school age kids May is a crazy, busy month! They're not only busy with end of the year activities with school, but with extracurricular activities as well. And since Avery is our only one in school right now, I know we just got a small glimpse of what the future is going to be like!

here is Avery at her end of the year dance recital. i have to say, i enjoy watching her more and more as she becomes more comfortable with performing. she did such a great job!!

and boy, can she shake it!!

she had us and the rest of the audience laughing pretty good!

Avery felt so special when we gave her these flowers. she has been to several of her cousins dance recitals and watched them receive flowers. she was thrilled it was finally her turn!

(little did she know, we bought those at intermission!)

group photo! Zoe kind of felt left out in the flower department,so Avery was nice enough to let her hold one of her bouquets...

until we got in the car.

next big event was Avery's Kindergarten graduation program.

here she is receiving her diploma and me not capturing the picture fast enough and without the flash.

diploma in hand

as part of their program each kid was asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. Avery said a cheerleader. we're not sure if it was because it's what her bestie wanted to be or if Zach and I really need to push something that requires more academics.

but for now, we'll just roll with it...for now.

we are sooooo proud of Avery and can't believe she'll be starting

first grade next year!! crazy!
