This time there are no fun excuses, or silly explanations…just a big HOLY COW! How in the world did the entire month of May go by in the blink of an eye? WOW! The saying “time flies when you are having fun” sure applied to us last month! May disappeared in a whirlwind of trips to the beach and Seattle, three weddings, three family birthdays, a minor construction project in Isaac’s room, Lexi’s first little dance performance during a school assembly (hilarious, but, yes, I cried), lots of fishing, barbeques and a whole lot of sunny days spent playing outside with our wonderful friends and neighbors. Some of my favorite moments were seeing my kids excitement at the Newport aquarium, watching two of our very best friends (who we introduced) get married, celebrating my little brother’s 30th birthday with him and realizing that we really have a great friendship, seeing two more of our wonderful friends FINALLY end up together and married after years and years of friendship, meeting one of my best friends brand new baby, watching my kids smile (Lexi minus her two front teeth and one bottom one too!) and laugh and enjoy the little things in life, and being reminded just what an amazing neighborhood I live in and how blessed we are by all the neighbors that we call friends! Now it’s June, and the chalkboard on our pantry reads “3 more days of school”…it just doesn’t seem possible. I guess I am in that phase of life where I better stop doing dishes and folding laundry long enough to play a game with my kids or run in the sprinkler with them…because I’m pretty sure Lexi was filling out college applications before bed tonight
I’ll let these pictures tell the story of the past month…YES, there are LOTS of them and YES, they were ALL taken last month!


It’s been over a week and I think we are all still exhausted!

Love, love, love all the pictures! The last one made me laugh out loud! What a fun month for you all, and hope your summer is fabulous! We’re coming over to WOM for one day (Monday, I think) so maybe we can say hi in person.

So much activity packed into one month! I’m tired just reading about it. Such fun family memories though. Now, bring on summer!
