The Merry Month of May

May is always such a busy month with all the end of the year festivities. Here are some of the things that have been going on around here.

Ailey's 2nd Grade Music Program

Ailey has such a cute little group of girlfriends. Ailey is still/always has been a girly-girl. She loves her friends. When I drop her off at school in the morning and she sees her friends they all come running and squealing and hugging and giggling. It is pretty funny.

Ailey and some of her best buddies all requested to wear a little mascara and lip gloss to the program. Most of us mothers relented...technically "stage make-up" you know. Those poor boys in their class didn't know what hit them. It starts so early.

 Slightly awkward picture...the wind was whipping and we were holding up about 10 families who needed to walk past us to get to the parking lot. Once again that is my "take the #$%^ picture Reilly!!" face. I have a lot of pictures like that. I really need to channel serene. Tyler is hissing "Hurry Up!! Can you tell? :)

 

These guys were there too. 

Mother's Day

 Kelley, Elle and I took my Mom out for Brunch on Mother's Day 

 

This year my focus was mainly on my Mom and my Grandma. I told my family to not go all out for me and just give me cards etc. as we have a huge family vacation coming up to the mother of all weddings...Jordin and Ramon's...in Kansas City this summer. It is going to be quite the extravaganza. All superfluous cash is going in that direction. Of course my family didn't really listen and I still got some wonderful plants, flowers, and a gorgeous rosebush for Mother's Day.

Track 

Kameron finished up his track and field season. He did a great job!! Track season is blissfully short and we have had wonderful weather.No complaints here!! I love how much he is improving and the joy he finds in running. I never heard any complaints about going to practice...and his coach worked them HARD for nearly two hours twice a week. His cross-country coach was also there for most practices and meets as most of the kids run both...so he was informally coaching them as well.

 Here is his 2012 Track picture...so handsome!! 

It was also the Trek...our school's Fun Run. This is the highlight of the year for Kameron and Ailey.

Here are some pictures of them with their BFFs. I think I have a Trek picture of Kameron and Jonathon every year since Kindergarten. I am so grateful that both Ailey and Kameron have such nice best friends.

 Brynnie cheering them on!!

We still have another choir concert, a band and strings concert, a ballet recital and a piano recital coming up.  Stay tuned. Also, we really did record some of Ailey's music program...that I will post later in a video.

Happy May!!
