More than just May flowers

So May happened. There was a piano recital, a dance recital, last days of school, etc. I think you get the idea. Here are the pictures because they speak with more detail than I typically do...

 We took video on a camera instead of our phone, so I have no idea where that is as I don't think it's been downloaded yet, so just imagine a 3rd year pianist playing. He sounds pretty good actually and earned a I at State this year!

This is Miss Ursula & him. We love

her so much!!!

 Here's our ballerina. She LOVES to dance and be on stage. I got to be a backstage mom so I only got to see 3 dances of the 2 1/2 hour recital...you can decide for yourself if I was the lucky one or not!

 Our school has a reading program each year and if the kids read so many books and all different genres and award winners they receive a gold, silver or bronze medal. Both the kids earned a gold medal. He really was thrilled.

This was the last day of school - he was a bit sad as he loved his teacher so much he didn't want to move on to the 4th grade. Fortunately for us, she's one of our neighbors so he thought he'd give 4th grade a chance.

On Memorial Day we tend to gravitate to the Wichita Mountains and their Refuge for some hiking. This year was no different. The kids love climbing on the rocks at Mount Scott. We also took a hike so we could enjoy nature a bit as well!

One of the kids took this lovely photo of the 2 of us.  

If you look - there's a bird in flight in this photo above.

We were a little closer to this guy than we planned!

Just love the Indian Paint Brush with the rest of nature

in this shot.

Well, that was the month of May in our neck of the woods. Hope everyone is having a safe and fun summer!
