Avery Kindergarten Graduation, Avery's 6th Birthday, Dance Recital, Adam's Wedding

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' :).

Mother's Day
Mom, my friend Aurora, and I went to a wonderful religious spa retreat the day before Mother's Day.  It was so nice to be with such great women from our church and the nuns from St. Paul's.
