May 2019

The kids love swimming at the rec center!  Especially Cal.

Eric helped everyone get a little baseball practice in one Saturday morning in the basement.

Naked juice at the Rec center park.

Cal and I read books and then jumped on the trampoline together while Chet was at preschool.  Lots of giggling from this boy!

At a park while Blake had baseball practice.

I splurged and took Chet and Cal to an indoor play place for the day in Avon.  We stayed as long as they were happy.

Blake got his braces off!  Round one is done.

Chet had a preschool ice cream field trip at Malley's.  

I saw on tv that the Wheel of Fortune Wheelmobile was coming to Cleveland.  Jenny Ludlow and Elaine Guthrie went with me.  There were three hour long sessions on a Saturday aftenoon.  We got in line and filled out a form about ourselves and stuck it in to a raffle box.  There were maybe 500 people there?  Maybe more.  They randomly picked 5 names from the raffle at a time and those five people went on stage to play a quick mock game of Wheel of Fortune.  They called my name!  We all screamed as I ran up.  They took my picture and I waited for the previous group to finish.  I went on stage and introduced myself.  The audience made significant noise when I told them I was a mother of 5 kids ages 2, 4, 6, 9, and 10.  I guessed a couple letters and solved the puzzle!  The Amazon River.  I won a little back pack and a pin.  Elaine was called to go up on the third session of the day.  She also solved her puzzle.  It was such a fun experience with two very fun friends.

Happy Mothers Day 2019

Here is Chet on his last day of preschool.  He had such a great year.

Chet did great at his preschool graduation.  I accidentally grabbed him Ty's shoes so they were a little big.

Playground World--Anything to wear these two out.

Blake has integrity!  His homeroom teacher chose Blake to give this monthly award to.  The attribute of the month was integrity.  Eric and I attended the assembly but kept it a secret as he did not know his name would be called.  I am always so proud of Blake!

Chess and Memory


Helping Grandma Move

My sisters and dad all flew out to help pack up my Grandma and get her ready for her move to southern California.  I got to meet baby Tessa!  We were very busy but got a lot done and had fun visiting while we worked.  We packed and threw stuff out, went out to eat, went back to work, went out to eat...I love my family.  It was fun to find so many treasures/pictures.  One of my main jobs was helping Grandma sort through her clothes.  She is stylish!  It was sad to watch Grandma say bye to her best friend Anne.  


Eric did a great job working from home with 5 kids!  Everyone was home because it was the end of spring break.
