This was from Relay for LIfe. Going around the track are jugs with lighted-candles in them. On each jug is the name of someone that either lost their life to cancer, beat cancer, or is currently fighting cancer. It was so amazing, all the people there supporting each other. Kaity wanted to go with me and I'm glad she did. Besides, learning about some people she had fun. There was so much there for the kids to do. People stayed there all night. From 6pm to 11am the next morning.
This is Kaity with her Kindergarten teacher on the right and the classroom assistant on the left. She loved being in this classroom. The last day of school, she cried. She didn't want kindergarten to end b/c she was going to miss her teacher. The teacher now has Kaity writing her letters over the summer. Kaity was so excited about the suggestion.
This is Matthew's teacher and one of his friends. Nathan had this same teacher for 3rd grade, so I knew what to expect. She's amazing. Matthew is as goofy as ever. He received the classroom award for being the quiet clown. After the teacher announced the award, he turned around and asked her "what do you mean, the quiet clown?" The teacher looked down at him and he was laughing and had put stickers all over his lip to look like a mustache. She couldn't stop laughing. My camera battery went dead during the awards assembly so I missed out getting pictures of them on stage.
This was Nathan's 5th grade teacher. The best teacher he's had up to this point. He told me that he wished he could have Nathan in his class every year, but I told him he couldn't hold him back. I loved this teacher. Nathan learned so much and gained so much responsibility and organization this year. 
This was Kaity on her last day of school. They played at the different parks in the area all day. This is her favorite apparatus(spelling?) to play on. She has so many blisters on her hands from the monkey bars and the high-bars. I guess I need to get her into gymnastics. All she likes to do if flip upside down and do cartwheels.
This was Nathan's 5th grade Spring Band Concert. They did so good and I was so proud of them. All of them worked so very hard. Nathan is still taking band lessons for the next 3 weeks. His band instructor offered group and private lessons for the month of June to all those interested. Nathan still loves the trombone and plans on sticking with it for atleast another year.
This is from the adult soccer tournament. It was the first year for it and it was a success. I believe that this will take place every year. Matthew and his friend were bored and acting silly by the end of the night, but they had a lot of fun.
This is Tim, he played for the red team. Their first game they went up against the orange team, which had some of my family members on it. They won in a shoot-out by one goal. At the end of the game, their was one sprained ankle, one broken ankle, one torn miniscus (my cousin's), and a lot of sore old dudes. It was so fun and funny to watch. Since they won their game they had to play again later that evening. That last game, they lost. They played a stacked team of high schoolers that were cocky and rude and did a lot of sneaky jabs and kicks--they took all the fun out of it.
Anyways, that's May. Now we're into June and I hope to be better at posting updates as they come.
