April has been a very busy month! I'm not sure where it went, but it's already gone. Before I get too far behind I'm going to do a catch up post of a few things that have happened.
Kate had a school assignment to think of a planet, come up with a name and answer some questions about it. I was very proud of her for working hard. She decided on a blue planet that she named "Little Blue" (very appropriate).
Her worksheet asked the following:
Q: What is the name of your planet?
A: Little Blue
Q: What does your planet look like?
A: It looks like marbles
Q: Who lives on your planet?
A: Aliens
And then she drew what the aliens look like.

Since Kate was busy designing a planet, Mason decided he was going to draw one too and named it planet "BB".
In between work and school, we manage to squeeze in several t-ball games. Mailin came to a Saturday morning game and cheered on our girl!
I had to document our commitment...sitting in the rain. Kate kept shouting, "Is it over yet?! I'm getting wet!" Thankfully the game didn't last too much longer.
Fun a t-ball.
Showing off her two missing teeth (later post about that)!
When Kate's not playing t-ball, daddy and I are playing softball each Friday night. It's been a lot of fun getting back into playing together on the same team. Last night, I hit a stand up double - woo hoo! While we are playing, Mrs. Marleni's three girls watch/play with Kate and Mason. Our kids look forward to each Friday night.

A couple Friday nights ago, I got pulled over for speeding on the way home. Oops! Thankfully, I was issued a warning - whew! The kids were worried that I was going to jail but I explained the worst thing that would happen is I would have to pay a lot of money. During my explanation, I taught Kate how to read the speedometer, and she has kept a close eye on it ever since. She informs now me whenever I'm going to fast. I think I need to move her car seat. :)
Within the last couple months, I (and the kids) have discovered Snapchat (a phone app that lets you put filters on videos and pictures and share them with friends for a brief period of time before they disappear). We love "snapping" each day...
Uncle Jordan had his arms full.
Mrs. Kim, Mrs. Marleni and I took a "field trip" to the capital one day to drop off some paperwork. Who can resist a picture with the dolphins?!
We celebrated another co-worker's wedding (Ms. Jen) one evening with matching shirts and a girls night out. Fun, fun!
Date night with this handsome man:
The cutest cowboy:
He is obsessed! Papa caught a possum in a trap the other weekend and when he asked Mason if they should shoot it, Mason replied "No, I don't have my cowboy outfit on". Haha.
Pajama Day at school!
He still loves Paw Patrol (and "Sleepy Kitty" - the scary looking black cat)
For Ms. Jen's wedding, they had a Snapchat filter specially designed for their event. On their wedding day, we could snap pictures using that filter. So neat! I had no idea you could do that!
A few more from the wedding...
Kate and Millie (Marleni's youngest daughter)
Me and the Bride
(it was a VERY casual wedding)
Work Friends!
Me, Kim, Jen and Brittany (who came down from Nashville)
Being silly (Kim, Brittany, Marleni and I)
We took the kids to another FSU baseball game one Sunday afternoon. Crazy munchkins...we all had a lot of fun!
FSU Cuties.
May means that Kindergarten is coming to a close. I can't believe the school year is almost over!
Mrs. Pettway and Ms. Daniel's Kindergarten Class.
And a few pictures of recent artwork from our budding artist...
Family picture. I took this to my office so I can look at each day. Kate apologized to me that one of my legs was bigger than the other. :) And it makes me laugh because Justin has grey hair - hehe.
I think the crab is the cutest thing ever.
Another family picture.
Love these two school assignments she completed. It shows off her ability to draw and I'm proud of her handwriting. It's much improved when she takes her time and writes slowly.
And this one makes me tear up...
So precious.
The summer will be here before we know it and it's going to be a busy one! Can't wait!
