May Re-cap

Now I know that I haven't posted in quite sometime but I need to stop feeling guilty and just start where I can right?
So May it is!
(There may be a few pics from April too.)

This baby is loved by everyone! Gil adores him and always wants a little snuggle.
It is pretty rare that Sully is co-operative.

Tucker is my unsung hero.

He is such a self motivator. He finished the rad reading program first in the school (September).
He was the choir president and on the year book.
He also finished his Give Me Liberty program.
This picture shows him receiving his honors. There were only a handful of kids that actually did this. It required alot of time and energy.
He also finished the book Black out program and finished 9 book projects.
He adored his teacher Mrs. Simkins and was sad to say good bye to her.
I would be lying if I didn't tell you how excited he is to be at the Intermidiate school.
Not to mention he is a great babysitter.

We are always so proud of our boy!
I can't believe he is out of Elementary.
He is getting so old.

That being said.......See my sand box?
We built that when the boys were so little.
As you can see it still gets used frequently.

What you see there are Tucker's friends all 12 and 13 year old boys playing for hours in our sand box.
I hope they never grow up!
Gwyn is also playing in there too.)

Miss Gwynnie had the lead in her musical theater class.
She was the mouse in "Welcome to the Jungle."
She was Panya who is caught by the Lion and then saves him from the hunters.

We were so lucky to have my parents come to see her perform.

Lawn, garden, and yard care happen a lot around here.
This is Sully's favorite place to be when work is to be done.
That little pack he is in is so ghetto but it has been around since Tuck was a baby.
It happens to be really handy and I think I have a picture of everyone of my kids in it.

Don't feel bad that I have only neglected blogging....See this party at my house?
This is Abe's birthday party a month and some late.
I still threw him a party....Better late than never right?

Then we come to Gilbert...
Words cannot describe this kid.

Okay I have a few words that come to mind; crazy, funny, pathalogical liar, coordinated, loving, hungry, sensitive, and beautiful.

This was his 3 year old pre-school graduation.
He is 4 almost 5 but his birthday is in September, so he truly is the oldest in his grade.
My children take performing VERY seriously.

His best buddies Kayson, and Grant.

Miss Debbie and Gil.
(She is amazing, and has taught ALL of my children.)

_MG_5936

Gil and Grant
Buddies since they were in the womb.
They are 3 weeks apart....

_MG_5957

I can't really talk about this yet....
Grant and Mary Ann have moved to Idaho.
Many tears have been shed by Gil and I.
We will miss our buddies.

Gwyn and Abe had there dance and Hip hop performances...
Gwyn being Gwyn.

A couple of her friends with her.
Gwyn, Piper, and Adde.

Abe....aka Beiber.

Gwyn graduated from Kindergarten!
We also cut 7 inches off of her hair.
(big Step for Gwyn)

This is Gwyn with her teacher Mrs. Heger.
She will miss her but I think that she is very ready for 1st grade.

BASEBALL
It has consumed our lives.
Every night of the week.

This is Abe on first base.
His team took second over all in little league.

The peanut gallery cheering on his favorite team.

Tucker played on the Major leagues.
Bob was his coach, and it was a learning year.
He did well and Bob was very patient with his team:)

Miss Priss turned 6 on the 28th and we celebrated!

This is her opening her most loved gift ever...
Her i-pod.
The girl LOVES music.

Abe watching....really I just wanted to show off his haircut.
I also wanted to say that he is also amazing! He was the vice-president on Student council and also in the choir. He was also a rad reader. This year his love a reading caught on fire. He read all of the Harry Potter books this winter and now can't go anywhere without a book. He also joined Tucker's Competitive soccer team and improved a ton. I am really enjoying my older boys!

Bob is still tough!
Just in case you were wondering.

Gwynnie opted for no party this year and to have a girls day.
Andrea and Piper joined us and the girls got gel toes and finger nails.
We then ate at Samuri 21, where Gwyn loved the Sushi.
Then I took Piper and Gwyn to see Disney's Prom.
Then ended the day with a little Orange Peel smoothie.

When we got home Grandy and Grandpa where there and we all had cake!
It was a wonderful day with my little lady!

Glad it is over, it was a very busy month!

I laughed out loud when I read your description of Gil. A hungry, pathological liar. Classic. LOL

Love your pictures--especially the one of Sully in the backpack and Tucker pitching. Good work my friend. The only thing I am left wondering at the end of this is why my poor daughter looks like Michael Jackson. It's weird.
