A VERY eventful May

The first weekend of May Kris's cousin Megan and her boyfriend came and spent a couple of days with us. We had so much fun. We went out to eat, stayed up late and played debit card Monopoly, went to the zoo, played Frisbee golf and Grayson and Megan lead us in some amazing praise music. They are such an awesome couple and we can't wait for them to come stay with us again.
















In the middle of May I attended a beautiful wedding. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Cotgreave. I also got to spend time with my best friend, Brittany and her boys. I am so grateful for the time I got with them and getting to see and catch up with a lot of other friends















My Birthday week



On May 20th I celebrated my 30th birthday. I had three celebrations that week and they were all surprises. On the morning of my birthday I got to school and my parents decorated my classroom with a cookie cake and juices for all my kids. My class loved it and so did I . I have awesome parents who always go out of there way to make me feel special. Then at lunch, Kris surprised me and came to have lunch with me. Later that afternoon Kris got home from work and brought me a beautiful flower arrangement of my favorite flowers, pink peonies and hydrangea's. Kris had made arrangements with my parents, Brandi, Kevin and my sweet little niece Avery to have dinner with us in Temple at Pignetti's. On the way to the restaurant he had me open the glove department where I found a beautiful watch. Thank you Kris, you made me feel soooo special.






On Sunday of that week my family and friends through me a surprise party at my parents. Thank you so much to everyone who helped me celebrate my birthday you will never know how much that meant to me. ( I will post pics when I get them)


My best friend, Angie's little girl Lila had her 1st birthday party last Saturday. She was born 4 days before my niece. I can't believe it has been a full year. Lila is so precious.









At the end of May we celebrated my niece's 1st birthday. Her birthday is not actually till June 6th but a lot of family was in town because of a wedding so my sister had her party early so everyone could come. It was so much fun Avery had a lot of friends and family their to help her celebrate her birthday.








































Prayer Request


At the end of May by brother- in-law, Sean, lost his mother unexpectedly. Please say prayers for Sean, Shanna and the rest of the family and friends.
