We had a few friends over the day before Theo's birthday to celebrate him!  He absolutely loved it.  They played outside on the trampoline, with chalk and whatever other toys they could find.  Betty made his cake which was AMAZING as usual.  He wanted a doggie cake and she definitely came through.  Tasted good too!  Thank you so much to everyone who came out.

Theo's Birthday!

A few pictures from Theo's birthday.  Started out with some birthday balloons and cinnamon roll!  Then we headed to Krispy Kreme for a donut celebration (yes, more sugar!!).  Madelyn had a good report card again (all the praise hands!) so he wanted to go celebrate her accomplishments on his birthday.  Such a sweet boy.  He loves his sister so much.

Spring Dance Recital

Madelyn's dance recital was this past weekend in ballet and tap.  She loves performing!  Had a smile plastered on and loved every minute of it.  Especially getting a little makeup on her face beforehand!

Kindergarten Award's Day

Madelyn had such a fantastic Kindergarten year!  We loved her teacher and student teacher so much.  Praying she gets a good one next year in 1ST GRADE, so big.

MJ earned the "spree" award for always finishing her work then helping others

Mother's Day

Such a special Mother's Day this year.  The church had a Mother's Day Brunch the Saturday morning before Mother's Day.  I was privileged to sing with my baby girl and Tim with his assistant Theo on guitar.  Our friend, Wes, played the cajon with us.  So so special for me to sing with Madelyn.  Her love for God is evident and just praying for that moment she lets Him into her life.  Here are a couple songs and pictures from that morning:
