We all love Maxwell and never want him to leave! He had a fantastic year in kindergarten – made great friends, learned tons, and had lots and lots of fun! A great school year indeed!!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Maxwell played coach pitch baseball this year and, I have to say, it was a lot of fun. Baseball has never been my favorite sport but getting to watch him play might make me change my tune! This was definitely a step up from t-ball because they got to play the games out at the high school fields which are top notch. Maxwell had a really great coach who encouraged him and taught him a lot about the game.

Maxwell had some great plays throughout the year and started off really strong on his hitting. He seemed to hit a rough patch toward the end of the season but I’m sure it’ll all click soon and he’ll be hitting homers every time up to bat! Most importantly, Maxwell had a lot of fun playing this year. Go Cardinals!

Some pics from the season…

And some pics from the final game and the all-important pizza party after! Trophies for everyone!

ps – a HUGE thank you to Susan for keeping Samantha during each game so I could actually watch Maxwell play!

Mother’s Day weekend

May 17, 2017

My mother’s day treats continued on Saturday when I got to sneak away all Saturday morning to do the Workout for Water competition with Iron Tribe. My partner and I competed in the most challenging division. We came in second to last but, hey, we finished! I was pretty proud of us! If they gave trophies for having fun, we’d have gone home with the biggest!

When I got home that afternoon I had these sweet surprises waiting for me!

surprises

The next morning I got breakfast in bed! About 6:15 I heard Maxwell (with the help of Robert) coming into the room with a tray full of cereal, fruit, and granola! What a sweet treat. Maxwell was SO excited about it which made it that much better. Later that morning I had the best second breakfast I could have asked for…

brunch

My crew then surprised me with all sorts of wonderful presents! The first was when Baby walked into the room dressed like this…

Mother’s Day Tea

May 16, 2017

Goodness, so much good stuff to catch up on around here! We’ll start with Friday of last week and the Mother’s Day Tea at Maxwell’s school. He was supposed to wear his “Sunday best” which meant I (barely) got him out of Under Armour for the day. He was looking so cute that I decided Baby needed a party dress and I made my three cuties take a picture before school. As always, it went well…

trio

It’s not perfect but this one is actually my favorite…

I went to Maxwell’s class that afternoon and they had everything set up so nicely with punch and petit fours! They sang 3 songs for us and it was precious. They had clearly worked hard and were proud of themselves, as they should be!
