It's always nice that Kevin has holidays off so we can be together. We went and saw my grandparents graves on Memorial day. It is a nice tradition to do that. It was fun that we had my parents with us for one more year. Its going to be sad next year when we don't get to do stuff like this with them.

Stuff
we may have overfilled this bath a bit. Haha!
They both wanted this swing so they shared, I'm not quite sure how they felt about it.
I decided to try and grow Clara's bangs out. I think she is so cute with bangs, but I know she probably will want to be without them when she gets older so I thought I would just do it now instead of waiting like we did with Nellie and then it was way harder. I think it is going to be cute.
I tried to take a picture to demonstrate how Russell is my worst kid at creating dirty clothes, but its really hard to tell in these pictures. He really does have twice the amount of clothes to fold when I do laundry. It drives me nuts! Shouldn't my one boy be better than the girls!?

Lunch with Liz
A couple times a year, Lizzy's school holds a family picnic where we get to go on campus and eat with our student. The spring one got delayed because of weather and then the new time Kevy had a work lunch he needed to go to, so it was just Lizzy and me and the little girls, I asked Annie if she wanted to go late to Miss Patty's Place or if she wanted to miss the picnic, and she didn't want to miss any of her school so it ended up being just Clara and me. We went and got Lizzy Panda Express because that is is her favorite and I got Lizzy a big Dr. Pepper to go with her lunch. Clara just had to have some and against my better judgement I gave her the drink in the car. She of course started sucking it down and when I asked her to hand it back to me she dropped it and the lid came off and it spilled all over the car. Then we had a hard time finding a spot to park. We ended up being late, ugh! It took some time to find Lizzy too!.
It all ended up working out okay and we had a good time together. Clara always loves being with her best friend. haha!

Baseball With Grandpa
It was all so meant to be because Kershaw just happen to be pitching the game they went to. They were so lucky! And it ended up being a great game! Russell had a bit of a hard time. He loves the dodgers but in a little 5-year-old boy way and so he has no patience to actually watch the game.
Kevin left watching the game for a while to take Russ to the slide and around the ballpark but I told him he spent too much on the tickets to miss the game and Russ was just going to have to tough it out. So Kevin got him more treats and he made it through the rest of the game.
It's a good thing that he didn't get a sick stomach from all the junk he ate that day!

Mother's Day
My cute little Annie girl had her special Mother's Day Tea, and I got to go and see her perform the cutest little songs ever. I am seriously going to be so sad when all my kids are past the age of the Mothers Day Teas, and I don't get to go anymore and hear their sweet little voices sing me songs. I really look froward to their little gifts they make me and how they try so hard to please me. My heart!
Just look at these faces! I am just the luckiest mom out there!!!

My Birthday
It was really fun to have a day date with my honey for my birthday. We went shopping and to lunch and thne to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2. It was the perfect day with my favorite person. Honestly that is all I ever want for my birthdays is just to get to spend the day with Kevin. He makes me so happy and I just love every single second with him.
The next day was my birthday and it fell on fast Sunday. Whenever my birthday is on a Sunday it is fast Sunday which honestly stinks. I struggle with fasting in the first place but on your birthday too, I want to just skip it, but then I feel guilty, so I do anyway. At least I had a really great dinner to look forward to. My mom made me yummy sour cream chicken and I made myself a birthday cake.
I had seen this cake on Pinterest that sounded really good and then I of course tweaked it. I was sick of never getting a cake on my birthday and since I wanted something specific I just decided to make it myself. I would have to say in my humble opinion that it was amazing! It was a lemon cake(real lemon, I bought a white cake mix and added lemon juice, zest and a little extract to.) with raspberry filling,( homemade again)with buttercream frosting and toasted coconut on top. It may sound weird but it was SO good. In fact I had my parents request it for their birthday cakes too! It was a great birthday overall and I am so grateful for this life I have and another year to live! I have so much to be grateful for!

Annie's Birthday Party.
She wanted a Shopkins party of course and we found a really cute Shopkins bingo game online that worked great!
I made some Shopkins cupcakes which I thought turned out pretty cute.
