First swim of the season and first ever for Jack!

Today was gorgeous!  We spent the afternoon at the pool grilling out and enjoying the day with family and friends.  Maylee could not wait to get in the swimming pool.  She stayed in for at least 6 hours straight!  Jack loved the water, but it was just a little too cool for him to stay in for a long time.  

Happy Memorial Day Weekend.  Let us all remember those who fought and continue to fight for our freedom!

Jack's first dip in the pool!  Jack is 11 months old now!

Summer (in school terms) has officially arrived!

Maylee's Last Day of Kindergarten & and my last day at HSES with the students.  

We will never forget Hope Sullivan Elementary.  The love, support, and friendships that we gained during the last four years will forever be cherished.  As I have been saying....it is not a goodbye, it is simply a "see you later"!

Oh yes, this brought on the tears!  

Time for Some Random Photos:

Becca's Big Weekend

Last weekend was a big one for Becca.  She celebrated her 5th birthday at Chuck E. Cheese on Sunday and graduated from preschool on Monday.  Look out Kindergarten, another Samples girl is headed your way. 

Happy Birthday, Becca & Way to Go!  We are so proud of you!

Preschool Graduation 

Becca said she wants to be "a mom" when she grows up for the graduation program.  

Happy Mama's Day

Happy Mothers Day to all of you amazing women out there.  I am in awe everyday at how much Mamas do and sacrifice for their children and families.  It is the hardest job ever, but I would not trade it for the world.  I am blessed to have amazing Mamas in my life!   I am also blessed with amazing children and a husband who are my world.  To top off a great day, Jack said "mamamamamama" today!!  

It is seriously "May Madness" in my life right now!  I am going to catch up on some photo posting tonight and then I am calling it a night!  I hope to get back to blogging after May 23rd!  :) 

And our floors look amazing!  Just a few more small things to wrap up and the project will be complete!  Thank you, Dan!  :)

Rock of Ages!!!  We fell in love with musicals because of this show in NYC .  It did not disappoint in Memphis!  Added bonus...our friends had tickets too!  We really enjoyed the Orpheum season this year.  Cannot wait for next season!  :)
