Momma's Day & May Happenings!

May is an eventful month! Mother's Day always falls within days of Maddy's Birthday so it's a lot of fun being able to celebrate these special days together.  Mother's Day is also falls close to two more special birthdays, Mike's Mom's & his sister Allison!  In our typical family fashion, we spent a fun weekend cooking, eating, drinking and lounging by the pool.



Cam & Mikayla are two peas in a pod, they have a ball in the pool and the only way we can get them out is by putting them into a bath!  Note that Mikayla is still wearing her bathing suit! Ha!



I'm not sure how much Mike's Mom enjoys celebrating some many events in one weekend... not only was it her Birthday and Mother's Day, but it was also hers & my Father-in-Law's 40th Anniversary!   My Mom who I love & miss very much lives in Chicago.  I sent her roses to let her know I was thinking of her.  It's hard being away from my Mom on holidays.


Maddy just loves spending time with her new cousin. Reese is such a happy baby!


Speaking of happy babies, my best friend's baby boy turned one in May!  We had a great time celebrating his birthday at Oscar Scherer State Park. It was fun hiking on the nature trails, something we don't get to do very often!



Then there was Memorial Day weekend. I was off for a blissful 3 days, Mike was off for 2.  That Saturday we met our besties at our favorite summer hangout, the YMCA Aquatics Center.


Sunday, Mike was off so we spent the day at another favorite place, Busch Gardens!


It was a hot day, so it was the perfect opportunity to see Busch Gardens indoor Iceploration show!  It was fantastic!



It was a hot day, so we took our time navigating the park. We saw favorite animals and rode our favorite rides.




On Memorial Day Monday we hit the beach!  It was beautiful day for it!  We were all so grateful for the extra day off from our usual hectic schedules.
