May, 2013... means more birthdays...

 

First, it was Lucy's turn to celebrate turning into a TEENAGER. She had fun playing with her friends...

 

then they dressed in their dark clothes to go out to play night games in the dark... which was really fun for about 5 minutes until we had a 3-way collision of kids which ended with a ginormous bump/black eye for Lucy. How's that for a great birthday surprise.

When she opened her presents the next morning she looked a little thrashed!  It was still lots of fun, we promise. Her eye wasn't too purple yet here, but it ended up being one of the most beautiful black(purple) eyes I have ever seen and stayed that way a couple of weeks.

 

Emily had her end of the year percussion concert and did great. We are amazed at how fast she can do that.

 

Then it was Emily's turn to celebrate her sweet sixteen. I talked her into having friends over for a barbeque and it was a fun night too.

                                                                  She is so cute!

 The month flew by and it was Memorial Day. The annual lemonade stand with the cousins at Memorial Hill was a success as usual.  They worked hard and it paid off! 

 

And it wouldn't be Memorial day without tractor rides in Grammy and Grandpa's yard.

It was a fun and busy weekend.  We also had friends and family over for Jack's mission farewell on May 26... pics and details of that in the next post.
