May Day! May Day!

May was a busy, busy month! We had the end of dance, recital, karate, graduations, and at the end of the month - a Family Reunion! I am still not certain how we managed to pack it all in... but I do remember being very tired. :)

And yet we still managed to have some down time - and time to play. These two are like two giant magnets...completely attracted to each other - but once they get a LITTLE too close... they repel each other. HA HA HA.

McCaleb and Alex tested for their first belts in Karate... AWESOME JOB guys! They really enjoy it - and McCaleb is really quite good at it! :)

The HI-LIGHT of recital for Rachel was getting to dance the Hip-Hop routine this year... they danced to a couple of songs, one of which was a Laura Bell Bundy song. (Town and Village alum....) On Saturday night - Laura Bell jumped on stage and danced and sang with the kids. WOW! It was so much fun to see how excited they all were! And little Rachel was able to get her picture with LBB afterwards! It was so cool! Something that she will remember forever!

Recital week is pretty intense. We were there EVERY day - until late each evening... and by the end of the week... we were exhausted! I didn't get to spend a lot of time with McCaleb... since he was in the "MENS" dressing room... but he had a grea time as well!!

Leono's breadsticks... literally ate them every. single. day! YUM. So recital week is a little tough... we have to weigh the pro's and con's....

Yes. He is the CUTEST thing ever... I know. But in this little outfit... ADORABLE!!

Yep - that's her backpack... and I was making her finish her homework. I am a mean mean momma....

Rehearsals.... did you see Miss Bell doing the splits up there?? Awesome! She made McCaleb look bad! He still hasn't gotten his...

Rachel teaching Andrew how to do the Hip-Hop routine in the backyard after Amanda's graduation. This was priceless....

Amanda and Tim. Graduation from University of Kentucky College of Nursing!! Way to go Amanda!!!

The Lucas Family! I finally got a picture where I am not getting a hand up - and a "Jennifer! Don't take my picture!!" Wonderful!

All in all - May started out CRAZY! This wasn't even the whole thing... we are onlyinto week 3 at this point! ARGH!! When does life begin to slow down again....?
