May from my phone

Popsicles are a favorite around here

We enjoyed playing in coolers, which is vaguely reminiscent of last year

Callie decided that she wanted to send invitations to her dance recital.  Fine by me, I made them so it would take a good 30 minutes of her day to color the ballerina in :)

Callie got a hold of my phone and took this picture, I love it!  See her rocks and stick?  She loves to give me these and I love collecting them for her

Mommy got a lunch off and got to attend St. Lawrence Place’s Angel Tea

Around this house you don’t escape the ‘Hoverband!’

The girls now love watering our plants, I love that it’s a chore I don’t have to do anymore!

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo Granger style.  Don’t touch her chip, she means business

I got this shot of the moon, it was supposed to be extra large this particular night, didn’t think it was all that big, but still neat

Callie’s school had an end of the year party at a park, of course they went for a popsicle

we love giving our kisses with a peace attached to it!

Callie’s growth flower, yeap she’s the tallest in the class

This love bug is the best!

The Granger garden in in full effect this summer, this time we’ve added cucumbers and it’s already given us several good ones!

At Chloe’s 18 month appointment the Dr said we should try and start sitting her on a potty.  Not sure about this, but we’re trying!

She also thinks it’s pretty awesome to wear big panties like her sister, even if it is over her onezie!

Vaughn came and surprised Callie one day at pick up and treated us all to lunch, Mac LOVED it!

Mom, Alex, the girls and I headed out to the Forest Acres Festival.  Love activities like this that can help fill us a Saturday while V works.  Also, funny story with this.  We ran into our pastor while we were there.  Callie showed Rev. Skidmore her purse which has a peace sign on it.  She then tried to show Rev. Skidmore a peace sign but ended up flipping her off- OPS!  Thankfully Rev. S has good sense of humor and thought it was hilarious too!

After church me and the girls got to visit with cousin Levi

Levi also got to come over to our house for the first time for grilling out

Who doesn’t love a fresh watermelon?!

Smile!

This month Callie had her first last day of school.  I left with tears in my eyes…

Callie again got a hold of my phone and took this picture, not sure why though!

Callie’s first day of summer break was spent in the girl’s new pool, they had a blast!

Callie had her very first play date with her friend Reese, and she had a blast!

We also made cupcakes and got to decorate them!  The two big girls did a great job including little sister Chloe in all their activities too, so sweet!

We recently joined a pool for the first time.  It opened Memorial Day weekend and we got our moneys worth those three days!  The girls are now big pool fans

and I’m a big fan of the naps that follow!

Our cucumber plant is producing like crazy now and Vaughn’s favorite summer treat (cucumbers, red wine vinegar, and red pepper flakes) is always at the ready

We’re headed to the beach the first of June and Chloe’s nose wasn’t looking so great.  So I last minute decided to take her to the doctor’s office to check it out before we left town for a week.  Thank goodness I did.  Poor girl had an ear infection!  We left with an antibiotic perscription, instructions to double up the dosage of baby zyrtec and tylenol.  Also, if it wasn’t clearing up to switch to a different allergy medication completely.  I’m so ready for a cleaned nose Chloe as I’m sure she is!

That same night we went to celebrate Uncle DR’s birthday at Cantinas.  The girls loved their tacos, and especially the birthday cake

Happy Birthday Uncle D!

A GREAT May- now on to June!
