Here I am again playing catch up. Where the heck did May go? Really.
The month started out with my NEW DOOR! I know, that sounds SO boring, but you have to understand that the minute we stepped foot inside this house, I said, "the door has GOT to go" (along with a lot of other things, but that was a biggie for me!). Well, here we were, 3 years later still looking at that damn, drafty door. In the winter, the snow and frost would come IN. Nice. So, I got finally got my door put in. I love before and after pics....
Before: (the left side is what it looked like when we bought the house. Yes, it is pink. The right side is after Jeremy painted it to make me happy for awhile!)
And After:
The first weekend of May, our nephew Tyler got married to a great girl, Jill. She has been a wonderful addition to the family. She loves kids and the kids love her! Hudsen was the ringbearer in the wedding. He was so darn cute in his little tux. To my surprise, he did walk down the aisle with the flowergirl. He had a long day, but he did amazing!
Bribery!
All the kid wanted to do was party and eat cake!
Addie's first lake experience...
Mother's Day. My mother's day present from my mom and dad was a weekend with just Adalyn. They took the boys to Iowa for 3 days and we had a nice, quiet weekend. Jeremy, Addie and I went to brunch at Chesters on Sunday a.m. Addie decided to make a huge mess in her pants at Chesters, so that cut our breakfast short! Happy Mother's Day to me! :)
Can you find Hudsen? He LOVES sleeping with almost ALL of his stuffed animals.
Lilacs from my garden. Lilacs remind me of my grandma, they are one of those smells that take me back to my childhood.
We had a HUGE tree fall in our backyard. It fell right between the trampoline and the swingset and during naptime, so thankfully, the boys were not out of there. Scary.
Crazy hair day at school. Hudsen had to have his hair spiked, too. He has a totally different texture of hair than Kaden does, so it didn't work quite as well. And Addie...well, that poor little girl only has fuzz.
80's day at school. Remember those big glasses?
Kaden is the top scroller in all of first grade at Jefferson! This pic was taken when he was at 3K, he ended up at 8K! Good job Kaden!
For Memorial Day weekend, we decided to stay home for once. It was nice. I think Jeremy wished we would have gone back to the lake, but I was o.k. with not traveling. Kaden had his race on Sat. and I am glad we didn't miss it. He had been training with the Jefferson Joggers at his school in the mornings before school. The race was 1.2 miles and they had been logging their miles for a month before the actual race. They actually ran the whole marathon (26 miles), but over a month's time. It was so cute. He got to run with his favorite teacher, Mrs. Holcomb and her Cayden. He ran the whole thing, never stopped. He loved it!
Water break!
Medal from Mayor Brede! Yeah for Kaden! We are proud of our little runner!
Adalyn is three months already! Wow! She is amazing. SUCH a good baby! She is always happy and actually sleeps at night! I am convinced it is because we swaddle her up in her Miracle Blanket like a baby burrito (I'll have to post a pic of that soon, it is cute!) and give her a huge bottle before bed. All of that equals a great night of sleep! She is a cat napper during the day, so nothing ever gets done around here. Oh well, she'll be heading to kindergarten in the blink of an eye.
Hudsen's last day of preschool at Bethany. He did SO well this year at school!
Isn't my life boring? But, that's o.k., I like boring.
The boys spend a ton of time on the neighbor's trampoline. They have older kids now but still have the trampoline for all the neighborhood kids. 
My little tree climber. He was born to climb!
LOVE this picture of the three of them (not an easy task!). Addie didn't cooperate, but it is still good.
The higher the better for Kaden. Scary for me.
And so flexible!
Loose tooth!
Hudsen trying to get Addie to smile for the camera!
Huddy telling me something funny!
That cute little look!
You can see Adalyn's little head! She was such a good sport!
CANDY!
Huddy checking out his loot!
Matthew & Kaden on candy patrol!
We told Hudsen to just wave at everyone and then they would throw him candy!
Score!
Bubbles!
Hudsen scored a popsicle! Must have been all that waving!
Going to the bus stop one last time
Hudsen and I stayed for lunch. That was quite an experience. 
Mrs. Holcomb passing out the popsicles!!!
Some friends
Hudsen waiting outside for Kaden to get home. He was excited to get his big brother back home everyday!
I can't resist piggies...especially muddy ones!
He's home!
