May Recap

What a month! Last day of preschool, Daddy went to CA, Jack turned 18 months and Gma and Gpa Bawk Bawk came to visit. And best of all- the weather is finally turning around. Ahhhh summer is right around the corner and we could NOT be more excited. 

I'm quickly finding out that summer time with a little boy = scraped up knees. Here was his first knee injury of the season.

He took it like a true champ. He fell down, Mommy held her breath and he got up, blinked a few times and then away he went. I couldn't believe it. That would have been a day ruining injury for Sis. Amazing to have two kids that are SO different. 

Jack is learning how to blow bubbles and it is absolutely the most precious thing you have ever seen. Those CHEEKS!! For some reason Jack seems to wear a lot of green and I can't help but see Theodore the chipmunk in him.  FYI- we have to hold his hand or the bubble wand becomes a sucker. Again...that never happened with L. Not one time!

We were so excited to see Gma and Gpa Bawk Bawk last week. They came all the way from Missouri! We know it was a long trip and really appreciate the help while Daddy was gone. Here they are watching Frozen with the kids.

Jack really loved cuddling with Gma!

And GUESS what they made us...our favorite meal! Layla LOVES the fish now but won't eat the sauce on the fish or spaghetti. Jack spit everything out because he's not human.

Jack got to enjoy some Gpa cuddles too. So sweet!

Gma and Layla made Daddy surprise cupcakes for when he came home. L wanted sprinkle cupcakes with blue icing and LOTS of sprinkles. She is such a big help in the kitchen and loves to cook. Jack loves to eat cupcakes.

We were sad when Gma and Gpa left but I knew it wouldn't be long until I found a little piece of them left behind.

We also have BIG news on the bike front. Layla finally decided she'd like to try a big girl bike. This is after a year of trying to get her one on. We were going to get her one for Xmas and went to try them out. She sat on one and it wobbled and she was DONE. She was "NEVER doing that again". Well she woke up and decided she wanted a bike one day and guess what Daddy bought her...

She has been whizzing around the neighborhood all week on it. She is doing amazing and has even fallen a few times only to get back on. Yesterday she took a hard turn and fell over and did cry vowing to "never get on 'that bike' again!!" and saying she didn't "love 'that bike' anymore". But I have a feeling she won't stay away for long.

Jack was officially named the most destructive kid on the planet this month. He has broken 6 of Mommy's necklaces in the last 4 months. Just rips them clean off my neck. Thank God I don't wear earrings!

And here is a quick family selfie to ring in summer. A few things I love about this picture- there are leaves on the trees, I can practically smell the sunscreen on my babies, there is a smile on ALL our faces because it's WARM OUTSIDE!!!!
