MU

We took the kids to see Monsters University. They loved it. So did I, really. I used up my last gift card from Christmas to go-so, even though they are begging to see Despicable Me 2 this weekend, it probably won't happen until it's on DVD! I can't believe the price of movies these days! Maybe I should look into a part-time job at our local theater. Lol. 

No Promises!

I know I've said it before, but I'm really hoping to get better at blogging. I know that some of you aren't on Facebook and so I'm missing out on what's going on with everyone and I start to really 'miss' you all because I haven't been on Blogger! I also just miss having the live scrapbook of what my kids are doing because, honestly, they are growing too fast for comfort.

So, there are no official promises, but I plan to get in a better routine with posting on my blog again. I can't really pinpoint exactly what has kept me away from blogging except for maybe that things have been hard. But, who doesn't have things tough sometimes. There really hasn't been one thing in particular, just enough to wear a mom down. I have been having health issues-to which a pinpointed answer is currently escaping all medical professionals, thus, thoroughly driving me nuts and making daily life almost impossible some days. We've had some scares with Spencer and his stomach issues-all seems to be okay for the moment, nothing that's a medical emergency anyway.

Phew, okay, so there has been a lot going on since my last post-way too long ago. Rather than overwhelm myself with everything, I'll just try to get some highlights up to get me caught up!

We spent a better part of the winter going to Avery's cheerleading practices and competitions. She really enjoyed her first taste of All-Star Cheer, but has decided not to do it again this year because it makes her too sweaty-she's very dramatic.

These are from her last competition of the season back in March.

 

They had a really cute routine.

Doing her featured cartwheel!

The team was made up of 3-5 year olds-male and female.

The end of the routine.

Buying a hair piece was the best decision ever! No need to fuss with curlers and Avery's fine hair.

Spencer getting board with all the waiting. He went through a phase where he wore his Jake costume almost every day-cheer competitions were no exception!

They got some fun sunglasses!

The trophy's as big as her :)

Skipping ahead to the end of May, we celebrated Avery's pre-K graduation. I cannot believe I will have a kindergartener this fall and next fall!

Brother and sister.

She absolutely loved her pre-K class. I'm looking forward to Spencer being in the same class this fall.

Getting her grove on with some songs!

Receiving her diploma from her teacher.

The proud graduate :)

Spencer and his wonderful preschool teachers.

Avery and one of her best friends this year, Grace. Always so silly!

We've started our summer off with a lot of pool time already! I missed the boat on signing the kids up early for summer camps and so we pretty much missed out on the this year. I have a hard time planning 3 months ahead for anything. They'll be in a one-day camp after 4th of July, so at least that's something :) We'll see what else we can find in this quickly moving summer!
