Random May Pictures

I finally finished catching up for May! Things have been crazy and busy and I just don't want to devote gobs of time to pictures. Such a poor excuse, but honestly there are more important things. I do want to catch up, it just might not happen as fast as I wish it could.

Cheyenne taking a very rare nap! 

Crazy Cheyenne making faces at me when going to bed.

And of course, sleeping in sunglasses is all the rage! 

Benefits of helping mommy cook - taste testing cake batter! 

Shelby's favorite spot to sit and play. She loves this puzzle and worked on it for hours on end! 

My sweet Chey tied a ribbon in her hair.

Paige after field day. She was so completely worn out she just passed out on the floor!

Cheyenne, Clayton, and Avalyn at church one night. I thought it was funny they all wore their Bible bee shirts.

This one is being kept safe for later!! 

365 in 2015 - End of Week 21

This week was a busy and exciting one! We did a lot this week as things started wrapping up for the year! 

We had Home Shepherd Groups after the regular church service on Sunday. So we had a little extra time in the evening. Cheyenne worked on her cake for Monday evening, and Jon read a few books to Shelby. (I think Clayton and Paige were playing a game in his room.)

Cheyenne finished up her cake by decorating it with the American Heritage Girls logo. She made a red velvet cake from scratch to enter into a contest Monday evening for their end-of-the-year ceremony. We've thoroughly enjoyed being a part of such a wonderful group, and Cheyenne is already ready to start back (she was not looking forward to the break from AHG)!

Clayton received his official Trail Life uniform at the meeting Monday night. He couldn't wait to try it on after getting up Tuesday morning! 

On Wednesday we went to the zoo with Bethany and her kiddos. The kids had a great time - and I actually got a picture with all of them looking at the camera (well, except the baby)!

On Thursday we participated in field day with Hamilton Mill Homeschool Moms group. The kids loved all the games and relay races. And the weather was absolutely wonderful! 

Friday evening we decided to go to a movie on the lawn at Hebron. Clayton found some people to play with in the field before the movie started! 

A project I was working on Saturday. The print is from Hope Ink (a freebie that I got from the most recent ebook bundle). 

Field Day!

In May we participated in a field day with one of the local homeschool groups. It was our second year participating, and the kids loved it! They can't wait to join in next year! 

Last year, Shelby didn't really want to participate with her team (until the very end), but this year she jumped right in ready to go! This was a relay race where they had to carry the ball on a plunger down, around a cone, and back to the next person. 

Cheyenne playing the ball/plunger game.

Paige doing the crab walk relay race.

Clayton doing the crab walk relay race.

Cheyenne spinning around with her head on a bat. Each team player had to run to the bat, spin around three times while keeping their head on the bat, then run back to their line. 

Shelby getting ready for tug of war.

I love the grouping of team colors in this shot! 

The great shoe kick! Each person participating had to loosen one of their shoes and when the whistle blew they had to kick it as far as they could. I think the farthest shoe got extra points for their team. Then all the shoes were gathered together in a big pile and from oldest to youngest, every team had to send one person at a time to find their shoe and put it back on before returning to their line. The first team that had every person back in line with both shoes on won! 

Cheyenne was more than ready for the over/under water game. She made sure to squeeze as much water on her own head before handing the sponge off! 

Shelby also got pretty wet playing! 

Clayton and Shelby were on the white team. I think they came in fourth place? Maybe fifth? I can't remember. 

Cheyenne was on the green team and they came in second place! 

Paige was on the purple team and came in third place! Her team also won the spirit award for having the most team spirit and cheering each other on!
