I have been trying for days to upload pictures to go along with my blog..... it's just not happening! So you only get one picture today...

To play a little catch up , I will fill you in on what's been going on here in South Texas. May is always busy with the school year wrapping up. I finally finished my classes on the 8th (yay!) I have struggled this year since moving schools and doing classes strictly online...not easy with a little boy runnin' around, craving your attention! But I did finish with 2 A's, a B, and a C :(.....

The girls finished up Choir at school with a concert at school and a contest in Spring. They came home with an amazing trophy, scoring a Superior rating and receiving all 1's. They were very proud!

This picture was taken the day of the concert, they got to go to the waterpark in Spring afterwards ( I went along as a sponsor). It was a lot of fun....and, NO, I didn't swim :)



Kenna participated on the Consumer Decision Making team this year in 4-H. They went to a contest back in March in San Antonio. She did well there, getting the highest score on her team. They recently competed at District in College Station, and she was placed in the Top 10 (the only one from her team) and her team placed 7th (they were short one person compared to all the other teams, so that's pretty good!)

I am looking forward to getting their last 4th grade report cards and seeing straight A's once again... :)

Grant has been enjoying playdates with Hailey, his "buddy", she's a lot of fun! And I especially enjoy the "adult" time her Mommy and I have! LOL

He had a bday party back in April here at the house. He had a few friends over (Easter weekend and many people were out of town) Shawn grilled hamburgers (FERGERS, yum) and we all enjoyed getting to know some of our new friends a little better. Grant got new boots, and likes to wear them with everything! What little boy doesn't?

I am trying to get the girls into some activities this summer. There seems to be a lot to choose from around here. I know they will be taking swimming lessons, maybe attend some sports camps here in town.....they played basketball in Jan-Feb and had fun...even though their daddy coached them :) There is a big volleyball camp coming up.....I guess we'll have to pick something!

Shawn recently interviewed for a job in Lawton, OK. God apparently wants us to stay put a little while longer. We both agree God is in control, and we leave it in his hands to take us where we belong. We WILL be taking trips home this summer though...more than one, I'm sure! We miss our families something terrible!!

As a matter of fact, this weekend, Shawn's mom and sister are coming to visit (well not visit as much to KIDNAP my children!! haha). They will be staying all weekend, then leaving with the girls on Tuesday after their awards assembly at school to head back to OK. They will be going to Falls Creek the very next day. Grant and I will be leaving on Wednesday to head to Holdenville to see my folks, then pick up Jaycee and Kenna on Sunday on our way to Quanah!!!!!!!!! Yippeee!! The girls will be going to VBS at FBCQ with all of their old friends.... they are STOKED!!

I plan on attending a girls night out (maybe twice lol) with all my peeps, driving over to see my brother in Altus/Snyder at his new digs, going to church, eating at Red's and K&R, and just hanging out with my people!!!!!!!! I'm am sooooo excited!

I will try again to post pics....thanks for reading!!
