May and June in pictures

I wish that I was witty and creative in writing blogs like Damon, and my cousins April and Summer, but alas, I am neither witty, funny or creative….at all. I’m learning to accept it and since I love my cousin April SO much and she keeps asking me to be better about blogging, I will at least give you some pictures to look at.

Damon has been super busy with his new photography business that we started a couple of months ago, so anytime he is at the computer, he is editing pictures. SO, the blogging job is falling to me this time….sorry. What I really want to do is post an entire blog of Damon’s photo shoots because I’m so proud of him, but I’ll do family first and then maybe next blog I can post some of my favorites of his pics.

 

Back in May we had a fun day in Amarillo and Doug and Terri’s house where we got to meet baby Wyatt for the first time and see his Mommy and Daddy, Leslie and David. We had fun with some other cousins and aunts and uncles as well.

Avery and her best friend at school, Abby were hugging one day in their classroom and their feet got tangled….and down they went, with Avery hitting her head on a metal chair rail on the window. It made a pretty bad gash, that this momma still thinks needed stitches. Our doctor friend from church that immediately worked her in when we called, said that since it was in her hair, he didn’t want to put her through the trauma of stitches. Here is Avery all wrapped up in her pink “civil war soldier bandage”.

 

Moving on to Cayden….We are really into Star Wars right now, folks…. Damon has been telling him for over a year now that when he turned 6 they could watch them together….(I may have watched a few with them too….they are just a little addicting) Anywho… here are some Jedi moves.

 

I asked Damon why, with all the technology out there, they hadn’t made light sabers with the sounds and lights like the real ones. When he told me they have but said how expensive they are….well, ummm….I was surprised at how tempted I was.   Maybe for my next birthday…

 

We had a late Easter/Mother’s Day/4 May birthdays party at GG’s house….

 

We got to have some fun lovin’ time with Miss Kendall on one of our Plainview visits… playing with very age appropriate toys.

 

My big boy… this is our official “6 year old picture”…..it’s so nice not having to go into a studio anymore! (You spoiled us, April)

 

And lastly, swimming lessons were a HUGE flop….the lessons were 30 minutes long and they have them toys to play in the shallow end for at least 15 minutes of the lesson…. so we got a refund. But here are some pics from what we call “play time” not swimming lessons. It was super cute when they asked them to hold hands and get in a circle, Avery and the boy in the hat held hands and just walked around the pool together, while the instructors chased the other kids around trying to get them to hold hands…. Is it just me, but I thought you didn’t have to hold hands with anyone when you swim….Hmm… Maybe I could teach swimming lessons.
