May 26th was a fun hot day perfect for barbeque and the pool. My family is shrinking though, Ronnie was at work and Tyler gave us a few precious moments of his time that day, which we did enjoy, but as you can see they were not in any pics. Our good friends the Dyrengs came over and shared some yummy food with us and they were in the pool all day, they are just a family of fish!!! Luke just loved his new pool & the watermelon!!
I must be one of the luckiest moms in the world! What a great, incredible, fantastic Mother's Day I had this year. I had asked for just one thing, A WHOLE DAY OFF, and I got that and so much more!!! Saturday before Mothers Day I slept in, Ron surprised me with homemade waffles in bed, then I headed out the door all by myself with no questions asked, it was great! I went with Jenny, one of my best friends, to get a pedicure-very relaxing. Then off to lunch, reading in the sun, walking around the shops, more reading, and finally heading home at 7:30 that night!! It was just great, but than I was even more surprised Sunday after church when Ron brought in my favorite Pasta Malino from Macoroni Grill w/ bread & oil, Ronnie gave me a yummy chocolate/brownie cold stone creation, Tyler gave me a big basket full of candle,lotions and sprays from Bath & body works and wrote me a great poem, Caitylnn wrote me tons of notes saying why I am so great,Chase gave me a homemade card w/ bath salts and Luke gave me a cute card--So much more than I expected, I'm such a blessed mom!!!!
Wow, what a fun, fun night!! Caitlynn & I laughed and acted so silly all night, even the serious moms got into the fun and were such great nerds! Caitlynn got one of the BEST nerd awards...she comes by it naturally...Ha Ha Ha!!!!
Pearce's First School Carnival was a huge success and so much fun for Chase & Luke!!! Chase stood in a long line to get his hair spray painted, who knew they would use PINK!!! Who knew it would take weeks to wash out one spot on the top of his head, he sure got teased a lot for that everlasting pink spot on his head!!! 
Ron, Ronnie & Chase went to a Minor league game and had a great time. Chase got a free ticket from his school for getting a homerun on his reading goals this year. Chase is reading on a 5th grade level and is doing super this year in school, we are so proud of him!!!
Luke is still doing his GI Joe crawl most of the time, but occasionally gets on his knees to crawl. He is on the move nonstop and keeping me running(which is very good for me). He says dadda, Mamma, Nana and shake his head no, he also loves the wonderpets and all music. He will dance and light up whenever he hears any music, he especially love Chase playing the guitar and trys to play himself. He's still a great sleeper and eater and drinks from a cup. We can't wait for his 9 month check up to see how much his grown. No matter how corny it sounds he continues to bring so much joy into our lives, we are so greatful to have him!!!!
The night before Juliana & Addy left I just knew we had to get some pics. of these two adorable babies. Luke was not too impressed and was not giving out any smiles, but Addy smiled just great until Luke somehow scared her and then made her cry. I loved how they were holding hands & arms...Just too cute!!!!
