This is our story! The days are long but the years are truly short. I want to remember these precious days with my children and husband and this blog will help me do that.
May has been an awesome month. We celebrated Billy's birthday, we went to the Magic Kingdom with Meme and Grampy on mother's Day, I got a babysitter and was able to go to The Mommy Day Brunch at Tanner's school all by myself, and I made a trip to Lakeland to spend time with my mom and sister. It was really nice going down there to take her to dinner and then she watched Holden for most of the day and Papa picked him up late afternoon so that I could take Tristan and Tanner to Blizzard Beach. We had such a wonderful day. It was perfect weather and the boys had a blast. They were so cute holding my hands and riding the big rides with me. We were able to ride tons of stuff and really enjoyed ourselves. It has been a bittersweet week. Tanner finished Pre-K. I can not believe how fast the year went by. I am so proud of him. He is an awesome, sweet, and imaginative boy. He is growing fast. We went to the Library and checked out a ton of books yesterday. I LOVE reading to the boys. Tanner has a lot in common with his mommy as he likes things done a certain way. I'm doing my best to teach him to have grace with himself. Especially if he is trying his best. Parenting is hard. But so joyful. I am thankful for so many things this past school year. He had a very sweet teacher. He made lots of friends. He participated in lots of work shops at the Ocala Civic Theater. He made it into Madison Street. He learned so much and he always looked forward to going to school. I got lots of time with Holden. WE would go grocery shopping, the gym, the park, bike riding, and run errands. We worked in the yard and he absolutely loves to help me with everything. I want my boys to LOVE GOD and others and I am doing my best to see that who God made them to be is exactly who they should be. We all have strengths and weaknesses. I want to teach my boys that. I don't want them to struggle with trying to be something they are not. All in all it has been a wonderful month. Billy has been around alot and I even spoke out at the Phoenix House this week. Hard to believe that I graduated from there over a decade ago! I have so much to be thankful for. Happy Memorial Day weekend. Pictures were from his first and last day of Pre-K.
