I turned 3!

Happy Birthday to me!  Happy Birthday to me!  I am 3!  Woot Woot!  If you haven't figured it out, it is Caroline at the keyboard.  Given that May is my birthday month, it should be my turn!  My birthday was awesome!  We started out the day with Pillsbury rolls.  Because I am three, I am now old enough to go to gymnastics!!  I got to try out a class and of course I needed to get a leotard.  We go there early so I could try a few on before deciding.  We found a pink one that we liked.  Then out I went to gymnastics!  I liked it - lots of fun stuff to do!  For dinner we went to the Chicken Coop for pizza. 

 

My birthday party was actually on the 4th.  Grandma came.  Nanny, Grampa  were there from Kansas City.  Aunt Deb, Uncle Tim, Sam, and Kayla were there and of course Uncle Greg.  It was a Dora themed party!  Grampa gave me a tea set that his sister had used, as well as a family friend of Grampa's family.  Mommy took some pictures with it, then it went back in the box and placed out of reach.  :/  Daddy made some yummy bbq and Mommy made some stuff to go with it.  I got some really fun things including my scooter from Mommy, Daddy, and Graham.  The cake was great.  I felt so special!

 

 

The next day we were playing outside, though it was chilly.  I wanted to ride my scooter of course.  Graham wanted to ride his bike but he wanted Dad to raise his training wheels.  Well tha wentt ok so then Dad took the wheels completely off!!  At first he could balance, then he could get stopped, and ultimately he figured out how to get himself started.  All in ONE day!  Can you believe it!  I sure was proud of Graham!

 

Our spring was pretty raining, but we were hopeful that the morel mushrooms were out, around the second weekend of May.  We all went down to the hunting camp to try to find them.  We didn't see one mushroom!  It was fun nonetheless tromping through the woods.  Below we are sitting on one of the tractors on the neighboring farms.  We love farm equipment!

That same weekend was mother's day.  We went to Victor where we met Mom, Grammy, Greg, Uncle Tim, Aunt Deb, Sam and Kayla.  I had a pretty good time - even sat on Grammy's lap for awhile.  She turned 93 the day before, that is a lot of years!  She still lives in her house and makes the best noodles! 

Our family had planned to go to KC to visit Daddy's family the next weekend.  Mommy's Uncle Clarence passed away so Mommy went to Grandma's for the services.  Dad, Graham and I headed to KC.  Obviously the weather was nice - shorts all weekend and outside play!  We even got some golf in!

 
Graham's preschool year concluded in May and of course there was lots of house related stuff and packing.
