What Happened To May?

Not long ago, it seems that I was wondering what happened to April.  And, now I look around and realize that May is almost gone too!

It seems that it was just the first of the month and we were still busy at

Retama.  The flowers and shrubs are beautiful around the village. and Victor and

his crew are busy everyday doing the spring cleanup.

Mark was excited to see yet another gun range project

started and

completed.

And, of course, the pool called our name every afternoon.  But, soon, it was time, and we too followed in the footsteps of all our friends and neighbors, and...

left Lark Drive in our rearview mirror.

We made it to Fort Worth in a one day uneventful trip...the kind of travel day you like!  We arrived at Karen's house in time to wish all the mom's a Happy Mother's Day!

A day or two of settling in, and then the fun began.  This last week we were busy with the grandkids and their full time schedules...gymnastics, baseball, hockey, concerts...to name a few.

But, the biggest event of the month was Miss Kinley's

1st Birthday Party.  We had a great time with

family and friends.

Kinley was really into the

gifts and the

cake.

I am pretty sure the

birthday girl enjoyed her day!

Time to move the party from Karen's house to Scott's house to celebrate

Lauren's 12th birthday!

The kids had a great time

playing in the pool while a few chose to

.

watch a little TV...

from the hot tub!

A great day of celebrating! with two of our beautiful granddaughters!

Today, we watched Andrew play

hockey.  Great win, Brother!

Tomorrow night, we look forward to watching Zachary play baseball in which his team is in the winning bracket of the the tournament.  Good luck Phillies!

And, to round out the month of May we will attend pre-school graduation for Caden and Kourtney.

See you back here real soon!
