May 30 Field Day at Old UnionYesterday was Field Day at Old Union. Neil was a trooper and volunteered to run an event. He had a lot of fun and enjoyed getting to be part of the action. I took Grant up to watch Greyson and his friends. We all had fun. It was a great event and the kids were all loving the break from school work. Greyson and his best friend Conner were partners and they did a great job. Grant got to participate a little but he wanted to do everything! The weather was perfect and it was just a really fun morning.
         Greyson's Quest PresentationGreyson has really loved being in Quest this year. He loves Wednesdays because he gets to go to Quest. Neil and I feel like it has been such a good experience for him. He is such a creative and bright kid. Quest gives him the chance to use that creativity and challenge himself. Last week, he presented his Quest Zoo project. He presented about Zebras. His Quest teacher gave Greyson some wonderful compliments and told us how much she loved having him in class. We are so proud of how hard Greyson works in school. He is such a blessing!
   Memorial Day at the BallparkNeil and my dad took the boys to the Ranger Vs. Yankee game on Memorial day. The boys had a great time even though it was REALLY hot! My dad loved watching the boys play in the kid zone. Apparently, a three year old switch hitter is rare. :) Grey really likes pitching and he is good at it. Neil spent a lot of time getting food and drinks but he had fun. I have such great memories of going to Ranger games with my Dad when I was little. It was cool to see him continue that tradition with my boys.       Laurie Gets Married and the Bunko girls partyMy Bunko girls are so important to me. When I first moved to Frisco and started teaching in Allen, I met these girls. We started a Bunko group and first the first couple of year we actually played Bunko. We continue to meet every month but we don't play Bunko anymore... BUT I look forward to seeing these girls every month. We have been through a lot together. It was nice to have a reason to celebrate and let loose together! And that we did.... the smiles prove that we all had fun. CONGRATS to Laurie and Scott! It was a wonderful wedding and we are looking forward to the years to come!
         May 20 Mother's DayThe boys and their Daddy made my Mother's Day very special. Neil bought me so BEAUTIFUL flowers. They were very tropical and made me think of our good beach memories. Greyson gave me a sweet book of coupons for hugs, kisses, etc. Grant made a precious trivet with his handprint on it. I also received some great cards! My big surprise was a spa day! I can't wait. I am so blessed to have my sons and their Daddy.      Music Man FansGreyson loved having his friends and family come to see his musical. His teacher even came which was really cool! We are so blessed to have a supportive family and wonderful friends that all love Greyson! Thank you all for coming! It meant a lot to Greyson and to his parents.       May 12 Greyson and his Music Man friendsGreyson made many new friends while rehearsing for the Music Man. Here are some cute shots of him with his friends Emma and Addie. Their moms also became my support system through the whole process. It was fun getting to know them and I hope we will stay friends for a long time. :)       76 Trombones and "The Band"Here are a few shots from "76 Trombones". At the end, the kids came in wearing these adorable band uniforms. Greyson had to learn to "play" the coronet. I love the cute cheeks! This was the last act and a great ending.
      Iowa Stubborn and TroubleWe move on to "Iowa Stubborn" and "Trouble". I loved these acts too. The choreography was really cute and Grey was so cute at the dancing an singing. He had never had any dance instruction before this production but he caught on pretty quickly!
    May 11 Greyson makes his theatrical debut...Greyson performed in his first theater production this weekend. He did a wonderful job and got fantastic feedback. We are so proud of him! He had a GREAT time and made lots of friends. The girls sure seemed to enjoy hanging out with him. :) It was a long process and it was tiring at times, but in the end he really learned a lot and had fun. He wants to do more theatre but he is going to take a little break first. I am going to post the pictures in a few different posts. I have so many and I want to share them all!
The first set is of ACT 1- Rock Island. They are acting like they are on a train. It was one of my favorite numbers. Grey did a great job!     Getting Ready for The Music ManGreyson has been practicing for his first theater production every Saturday for the past 8 weeks. Last week, he had TECH WEEK! Which means he was rehearsing every night for four hours. It was a long week but he did great. His school put a poster to advertise the show. It is exciting to see everything come together!   Soaked at the StadiumWe went to the Ranger game a couple of weeks ago... It was raining. Hard. The game ended up getting rained out but that did not stop the boys from having a great time. Grant played out in the rain and got soaking wet! They each got a little wooden bat which they immediatly used as light sabers. (of course) We love living so close to the professional sports stadiums. We can enjoy a night watching baseball, football, basketball on a week night. So Fun!   May 10 Grant's First Haircut... I know, he is almost four!Grant had his first real haircut last week! He went to the same place that Greyson and Neil go for their haircut. He did really well but I was so worried that she would cut it all off! She didn't and I think it looks cute. He is growing up and I can't stand it!!       Southlake Arts FestivalWe saw a little art but spend most of our night in the kids area... Grey and Grant both did the bungee bouncing but Grey spent the rest of the night rock climbing. He is a champ at it! Grant hit the bounce house and blow up slides. It was a fun night. We love our family time.           Grant's Last Swimming Lesson... or awhile anyway.Grant loves swimming with Ms. Patty. He was SO excited to earn a medal and a TROPHY! He is doing great on his swimming. He can dive and flip off the board and swim across the whole pool. I am so glad that he can swim!!        Grey earns his red belt!Grey tested for his red belt last week and he got it! He is getting closer and closer to that BLACK belt!      May 07 Greyson makes his theatrical debut in The Music Man this weekend....
