Howdy everyone...a walk through some of May's Musings caught on snapshots...

...prickly beauty gracing the front coffee patio table...great baby/toddler deterrent :D...
...last biology project for the oldest man-cub for the 21/22 school year...
...proud of both of our man-cubs' school efforts, growth, and maturity we've seen this school year...
...last biology project for the second man-cubs 21/22 school year...
...Janessa made cards for some nursing home residents with some of the Cross Classical Academy grades...
...Janessa received her Read, Run, Recite award on one of the last days of her Kinder year at CCA. She also received the Compassion Character award :)...
...one of the two fun events that close out CCA's school year...a fun afternoon at Seals Gymnastics and then Field Day...
...the only pic, I happened to seem to have from Field Day is the pizza lunch afterwards, lol, I guess the food is what was important :P...
...a mega block creation...
...this cutie stole her Daddy's sunglasses while out on a walk...she is pretty cute in them though :)...
...matching colors for the day...
...this cutie was sporting quite the color/style combo this day, LOL!!...she was LOVING this hat...
...trying on big sis' swim goggles...
...early morning listening to the Books of the Bible song...its a goal for this summer for Nessa to memorize the books of the Bible...
...lunar eclipse was beautiful to watch from our back patio...
...before a couple of big rain storms, the pond dried up completely and so this became the 'pond' for the ducks...lol! They used it begrudgingly.... they went down to only laying 2 eggs from 4-6, so they were not happy campers, lol...
...Rojo, such a little tank...
...Daddy's work copycat...she was ordering ingredients and figuring out trucking schedules :D...
...hot summer, backyard fun...
...she despises things in her hair, except for today, she WANTED this hair band on and acted so proud of it...it lasted all of one day, the next day we were back to tearing everything off or out of her hair, lol :)...
...figuring out which rock is the best to eat, LOL :)...
...the excitement of choring with Daddy, no matter the heat or blistering sun, this is her excitement to go chore ANYTIME...
...my little baker...
...ready for church...
...yes, she loves the piano and music...
...building with blocks...and then Keke comes and knocks everything down...oh, the joys of having a toddler in the house again :)...
...drawing a butterfly...
...a couple buttons from one of Janessa's older friends, that became 'button bushes' on her birdhouse made by her great uncle from Colorado...
...a fun evening out on the lake with some sweet friends swimming and fishing...
...some of the fish caught and it was so delicious!...
...a fun surprise to see the second man-cub's name appear for one of the sayings for this pic on the back of the 'Nature Friend' magazine...
...heading out for a walk...
...absolutely love the waking-up smiles...
...my crew and hubby spoiled me for Mother's Day...
...a bouquet arrived the week before, as our man was traveling for work that week and graced the counter with its beauty...
...and then they blessed me with a 'Baby Toes' succulent, a mug, notes/cards, etc....
...a pic of beauty Nessa snapped while out walking one day...love it that she is starting to see and notice beauty and nature on her own while outdoors...
...getting passports for these girlies and the youngest was NOT impressed with the process, lol!...
...love the morning snuggles...
...this sweet one's swim lessons...she learned lots and so thankful for them...
...LOL, yep, Keke was here...
...storm in the sunset...
...glorious, beautiful, and powerful...
...another storm bringing LOTS of rain and plenty of hail and hail damage...
...the garden is shredded...the water sitting everywhere!!...
...parts of the driveway washed away...
...the pond filled up though, so that was a blessing...note: the ducks love the full pond and promptly started laying 6 eggs in a 24 hr period, they are happy campers again, lol :)...
...the full pond made it fun for some pond swimming with some friends...
...the driveway repair crew: Daddy and the kiddos...
...Mittens, one of the cats, is deadly to the population of lizards, Texas horny toads, and snakes...this one was rescued by our oldest man-cub...
...well, at least one positive aspect of the water hose accidentally left on ALL night, was the ducks were thrilled and decided to camp out in the water...they loved the extra water in the pasture... they were extra super, happy campers :D...
Hoping this finds everyone enjoying their summer! We are thoroughly enjoying the summer and a break from school. The slower, less scheduled schedule and rhythm have been needed and a blessing! Go enjoy each moment and make some fabulous memories :)
