may randoms

I know I have said it before, May was a busy month for us. We had visitors and meetings and birthday parties pretty much every weekend. It was full and crazy but definitely fun!

We spent a lot of days outside in the sun. Oliver just loves the grass and doesn't mind sitting in it. He just plays and watches and is so easily entertained.

  Sabrina and her beloved Mickey. He goes everywhere with her and I absolutely love it! 

At the beginning of the month I had a special day with just Fisher. Wayne was out of town and Fisher had a birthday party to go to and I had agreed to a photo shoot for engagement pictures that morning. I wanted Fisher to enjoy this day so I scheduled a babysitter and took him to the photo shoot with me in the morning. It just so happened to be at our favorite park so we went early so he could just run and play. He loved it and we had the entire park to ourselves. 

After the park and the photo shoot we went out to lunch, just the two of us, and shopping and then to his friend's birthday party. It was such a wonderful day and I miss just hanging out with just him. Wayne and I discussed how important these one on one dates are and we are making it a permanent fixture to do this with each kid once a month. So far it has been a great success!

  This month we also met with Fisher's new school for kindergarten. I can't believe he is going to be in kindergarten! He is going to be integrated into our home school and in a normal and typical classroom with a para for only 3 hours out of the day. They all believe that he doesn't need a full time aid with him and he will be going full day five days a week. We are so proud of our Fisher and the HUGE accomplishments he has made. The new team at his new school seems absolutely wonderful and I know we are just going to love him but I am so going to miss the amazing staff at his pre-school. They are amazing in every single way. 

  It's been a new tradition to visit the zoo the week school gets out! Hippos are one of our favorite attractions! 

the happiest traveler!!

  Big smiles for riding the train! Another favorite at our zoo! 

  We have also been on lots of walks and trips to our favorite park, Black Hoof Park. We love having picnics and dinner there and also walking along the boardwalks in search of bullfrogs and fish. 

  You have to wear polarized sunglasses to see the fish! 

poor miss Bre slept through this walk.

  and of course if you come to Black Hoof you have to go to the park too! 

Oliver loves, loves, LOVES to swing! 

  Such a fun and awesome May! We are excited for summer and can't wait to see what the month of June brings us!!
