Summer time is here....finally!
We kicked off the month of May with First Hair cuts for the babies and soccer, soccer, soccer and some baseball!
The girls ended their first full season with our Home Tournament. Both girls' teams missed getting some hardware by one game but both played really well. Sullivan's team played up in the 2010 age group and won 2 and lost 1 and played some really good soccer.
Hudson's team played in the Gold Bracket and tied the Top team out of Memphis and their friends and Teammates on the Top team at TSC. It was the hardest I have seen them all play all season. We came up just short in our last game against the Top team out of Birmingham but overall, it was a great weekend.
I think they both loved their first season at TSC and have already been through try-outs for next season!
May also means school parties and performances. Sullivan's First Grade did their performance called Bugs and this little ladybug had a solo. She was a bit nervous but did really well and the whole show was adorable.
We finally got to the last day of school and that means our annual trip to the lake for Memorial Day and Thomas' Birthday Celebration!
The lake trip was so much fun. Hudson picked right up when she left off last summer. She got up on the wake-board and tied-together skis!
And for the first time, she got up on the kneeboard all on her own! I was so proud to watch her stick it out through some frustrated tears and rough waters....but she finally did it!
As is our tradition, the babies took their first Ski-Trainer ride. Neither one of them loved it.....but I wouldn't say they completely hated it either!
Both babies loved the boat and enjoyed the lake after a few days of getting used to it.
Thomas had a big weekend also! He got right back up on the ski-board but he also jumped off the top all by himself for the first time ever! And then proceeded to do it 3 more times!
We also got to celebrate his FOURTH birthday a few days early. He requested a cake with spiderman, race cars, superheroes and legos.....so we settled on race cars...haha!
He opened some presents and was so excited to get a real baseball backpack and new helmets from his cousins!
When we got home, we celebrated Thomas' real birthday with a double-header baseball night. His tournament started and his team won their first game but lost the second. Since it was double elimination, they got to play again on Thursday night and played the best game they have had all season. Thomas went 3 for 4 with 2 RBIs and every single kid played the game of their lives....sadly we came up short in extra innings but I would say his first season was a success!
Hudson also finally got to cut her hair off. She has been growing it out to donate it for well over 3 years. Her hair grows sooooo slow....but she did it! She loves her short hair and it looks super cute! We were able to donate 9 inches to the HairWeShare program!
That is about all for now! June will be filled with 3v3 Soccer Tournaments, VBS, Camps and lots and lots of pool time!
Here are the rest of the pictures from our fun filled start to summer:
