Summer is officially here. It was 102 degrees early this week! We've been taking advantage of the pool and beach for sure. May was packed full of awesome activities. Avery turned 6 years old and graduated from kindergarten. She also had her dance recital. Immediately following the rectial we drove to our hometown for Tim's cousin's wedding. The kids were flower girl and ring bearer. Even with the full weekend they did great! They're favorite part was getting down on the dance floor and getting to stay up 'late' :).
