May 2016

It's officially summer and our sweet baby boy is ONE YEAR OLD!
Happy One Year Big Boy!
What a difference a year makes!
May has been a crazy busy month!  School and soccer ended, camps have started and Thomas turned ONE!!!!
Opening presents!
 Thomas is doing great.  He walks everywhere, climbs on everything and still loves to eat.  His favorite food is meat...of any kind!  He loves the water and finally got in the neighborhood pool this weekend (the water is so cold but he loved it).  We go back for his one year check up next week so I can't wait to see how much he has grown.  He still sleeps great.  He has also decided he loves the trampoline which is hilarious!
Big Girl date!
 Sweet Hudson is growing so much.  She grew almost 1/2 an inch in a month - which is insane!  She finished her last year of PreK at Judson Baptist and is going to miss it so much.  She had another great soccer season with her team the Green Frogs.  She scored some great goals and really got into it which was nice to see.  She still loves to swim like a fish and would live at the pool if we let her.  Today she started Kindergarten Boot Camp at the Academy and was super excited about it!  She will spend 5 days a week all summer getting ready for Kindergarten - academically but also little things like checking a book out of the library, getting a tray in the cafeteria, etc.  She is already so excited about starting Kindergarten in the fall and I can't believe it will be here so soon!

Soccer Stud!
Sullivan is still a crazy mess!  A hilarious crazy mess but still a mess!  She is also growing like a weed and is a strong willed as ever.  She finished up at Judson Baptist PreK and will be headed back there next year which she is already excited about.  She had a great soccer season also.  Her team was undefeated and she also scored some great goals.  She is way more aggressive than Hudson and soccer seemed to really click with her this year.  She also loves to swim but really just likes to be anywhere her friends are.  She turns FOUR on Thursday and has been counting down for weeks!

That is about all for now.  We have a big FOURTH Birthday on Thursday and two birthday parties to celebrate this weekend!  We are excited to have family in town to help us celebrate also.  This summer should be lots of fun with soccer and gymnastics camps, several Vacation Bible Schools, a few trips to the lake and of course more pool time with friends!

April 2016

Happy 11 Months 
Less than 1 month and this guy will be turning ONE!  I am not sure how this happened so fast but it is happening.  

April has flown by and was full of soccer, tennis, swimming, school fun and spring weather perfect for playing with friends and neighbors!

Soccer is almost over and both girls have had great seasons.  Hudson's team, The Green Frogs, is playing well.  They get better every game and seem to be having fun.  Hudson is playing well and even got to celebrate her first hat-trick of the season with a little Sweet Cece's.
Celebrating a Hat-Trick
 Sullivan's White Team is playing awesome.  For 3 and 4 year olds, they are full of hustle and not afraid to get in the mix.  Boys, girls, it doesn't matter...they are all tough as nails.  Sully has found her soccer groove for sure.  She is scoring lots of goals and has even figured out the "defending" thing which is fun to watch!
Serious about soccer
 Thomas is awesome!  He is officially a walker...and he loves it.  He walks everywhere...all the time.  He still loves food - especially strawberries, blueberries and any kind of meat!  Haha.  He moved up to the Infant 3 class at school and loves his teachers and being with the big kids.  He is still a great sleeper, LOVES his sisters and is such a happy happy baby.
Loving the Trampoline
 We haven't had much time for anything else other than sports this month, but we did sneak in a few other things.  We took a quick trip to Atlanta to surprise SueSue for her birthday which was a lot of fun.  We even got to visit with our favorite NC friends - the Boyles.  We have spent a lot of our free time just playing with neighborhood friends - playgrounds, flying kites, riding bikes, sewing pillows, jumping on the trampoline, etc.  We love our neighborhood!  We had a blast at the zoo celebrating our good friend Carter.  We also gave our house a little make-over.  We painted our kitchen and bathroom cabinets and also painted the walls in the living space downstairs and in the master bath.  It looks great and makes our space feel so much bigger!  
Kitchen Make-Over
That is about all for now.  May is off to a busy busy start.  Soccer ends, school ends, camps start, Thomas turns 1 and much much more.  For now, here are the rest of the pictures from April:
