Memorial Day and Beyond...

...Memorial Day and Beyond...

...I've got such a renewed sense of blogging this year...there is so many firsts...so much excitement and great pictures to capture it all...that being said...my blog organization is kind of like my life organization...very well intention-ed...yet fast, furious and somewhat out of order...

...so welcome back to May...when Ava graduated from Pre-K with her very best buddy...Hannah...

...my girl started Goddard School at age two and never looked back...she loved school from day one...has had an independent streak that inspires courage in her unlike the others and seems to lead whenever she can...

...she's enjoyed friends that have been with her since she was two and developed some new friendships along the way...always having a best friend at the moment and a few others...

...and speaking of best friends...she tried out soccer this year with her friends Hannah and Abby...

...she scored a goal and loved getting out on the field and having daddy help coach her...

...and Memorial Day seems to be a great weekend to get friends out on the river...the tradition is bringing neighbors and big kid friends and leaving Paxton with Grammie and Papa to join us the next day...

...sharing the water with friends is a favorite for all of us...

...and relaxing with Grammie on the back is a great way to spend a day...

...and Papa...

...this dude fell asleep on the ride...which makes it official...a fast boat ride has induced naps in all three of them now...but none literally fell asleep watching the waves like lil buddy...

...these two enjoyed the ride on Mr. Scot's waverunner...

...nap number two...

...crazy faces...

...mad faces...

...Memorial Day faces...

...such a great long weekend together...soaking up every minute of our little slice of happily ever after...
