May Happenings

Not sure where May went but we know there was lots of laughter and fun!  Ashley and Toby - always together!
Trevor's teacher knows how much Trevor loves to craft and how much he loves this particular pair of cutting shears so she went to 3 Hobby Lobbies to find him a pair!!!!!!  Bless her sweet heart.  He was SO excited!!!
Swimming with friends!
Gymanstics!
Play dates with Grant - poor guys always have a 3rd wheel :)
Soccer practices aren't so bad when sister has friends there too!
On Sara's first trip out to see Brian after he was already working at Sam's we toured our new neighborhood and stopped into the clubhouse.  This super sweet girl gave us a tour and mentioned that she works at kids club at a nearby neighborhood.  Sara said something like 'great, we'll have to track you down when we move for you to babysit our kiddos.'  She said 'Ma'am I'm willing to give you my number now.'  Uh ok!!! In less than 2 seconds flat Sara whipped out her phone and had her contact info.  So Miss Kayla turned out to be our first sitter in Arkansas and we put her to work within weeks of being here.  She was really our only sitter because she was always available when we needed someone.  Well turns out that she and her fiancĂ© got pregnant and we were so honored she included us in her baby shower!


We had Cole and Quinn for a sleepover one night!
Dance pictures!

Emmy's birthday party - she loves snakes so she had a snake party!!
Mommy could hardly believe that her kids (especially princess Ashley wanted to touch it).  Ewww!
Gymanstics friends:
Dance amigas:
Trevor, who needs a haircut monthly, wanted to tell the hair stylist how he wanted his hair this time.  Think it turned out pretty good, even if Mommy wanted a mohawk :)
Trevor and his school buddy Harper and his smart watch which he rediscovered and is obsessed with.  He got this after his ENT surgery in Arizona....so glad it is finally getting used :)

Trevor's Last Days of School!

On the second to last day of school for Trevor, the 'bus stop Moms' decided to decorate our golf carts and ambush the kids with water guns when they came off the bus!!  
The kids didn't want to get off the bus when the saw all the Moms and siblings with water guns!

So much fun!!!
Buddies Tommy and Grant!
After that we had a parade down to the pool for swimming and treats!
Then one sleep and it was Trevor's last day of school! 
Of course Ashley needed to get in the picture!
What a year he had!  Thankful for his amazing teacher Mrs. Scott and meeting a lot of little buddies on our street and through his many activities.  Love seeing his transformation in and out of pictures!

Kidz Bop!

And the surprise was....Kidz Bop tickets at the nearby AMP!  We took the golf cart over and got rock star parking!  The kids were SO excited!!!!  Lots of dancing in the aisle and smiles all around!  So much fun that the kids kept the dance party going the whole golf cart ride home and while it was parked!  What a great weekend!

Branson with Friends!

We headed to Branson for a fun weekend with the same friends that we went to Ft. Smith with earlier this month and boy did we pack a lot in to 2 days!  We started at the Dixie Stampede which was a WAY cool experience!  The South vs North....







On Saturday it was a bit rainy so we eased into our day with breakfast at the resort then a bit of mini golf!

We planned to go to Silver Dollar City but the rain deterred us so we adjusted plans and went to one of the many fun places in Branson along the main drag!








Stopped by the wax museum when we saw Tow Mater and Lightning McQueen:
Then we showed them Big Cedar Lodge and did the golf cart tour that Brian and Sara did back on their anniversary getaway!







We got back to the resort and played and swam.  




The kids loved the s'mores!
One more slide....please?!?!! 
The kids were far too busy to eat their pizza at the pool so they scarfed it down back in the room.
Sunday we checked out the outlets (including the Disney store of course) before heading back to Rogers because we had a surprise in store for the kids!
