The Merry Month of May...
The month of May started with this beauty getting a SECOND set of braces!
Her first set corrected her cross-bite and hopefully this set won't have to be on quite as long.
Two in braces at the same time!!! Ahhh!!! Tyler is due to get his off sometime in the fall.
And Jackson isn't too far behind. All these metal mouths!
We were invited up to Liberty University to celebrate Alexandra's graduation!!
She gave us a tour around the campus...and I think there might be one or two Jimenez kids that want to grow up and be a Liberty Flame!
We took a trip down memory lane with Mark and Angela (Alexandra's parents) to Boonsboro Country Club where they first met for a beautiful celebratory dinner!
And then it was graduation day!! Thankfully it didn't rain...but we were prepared just in case!
Perfect seats for the whole gang.
There she is!!! Woohoo!!!
So proud of this girl and excited to see how God will continue to use her as she lives her life for Him.
We didn't have much time when we got home...just enough to empty our suitcases and repack them for the BEACH!!
This was my Dad's face when I asked him if they wanted to come with us to the beach...
a definite YES!
My Dad LOVES the beach!!
The weather was absolutely perfect...with blue skies and blue waters.
It was a wonderful, relaxing time building memories and soaking up the sun.
When we got home, we celebrated my mom's birthday with a trip to the Cheesecake Factory!
So thankful to have had this time with my parents and to celebrate my mom!!
After we said goodbye to my parents, the big kids began preparing for their teaching.
Tyler partnered with his friend, Chris - and Amy partnered with Ella for Student Takeover Sunday.
They both prepared lessons to teach to an adult Sunday school class.
And I'm TOLD they did an amazing job...
they didn't want me to come in case I would throw them off! :-)
The end of May brought us some warm sunshine and trips to the indoor pool to get ready for the summer season.
Jackson took the swim test at the YMCA and got his GREEN BAND!
This means he will spend lots of time on the slides this summer! :-)
The month of May always brings graduation announcements.
This year we celebrated Annabelle and Kailey's graduation!!
This year we celebrated Annabelle and Kailey's graduation!!
So proud of these two and thankful for how they have poured into the lives of my kiddos!
And thankful for their mamas...and how they have let me try and follow closely in their footsteps!
Excited for what the future holds for these two!!
These two took me out to PF Changs for a late Mother's Day celebration.
It was fun to have some special time with just the two of them.
Memorial Day in Mint Hill had some AMAZING fireworks!
We met our friends down there just in time to spread out a blanket on the soccer fields and watch the display.
To close out the month of May, we went to go see the new Aladdin movie.
It was SO good!! I might or might not have been singing all of the songs throughout the movie.
It's getting hot...so in order to cool these two resort to this...
The merry month of May got the ball rolling on summer...hopefully we can stay caught up with it!!
