...walking off after making a goal...
...today lil' M was more interested to stand on the sidelines and look for bugs...
...after game tunnel...
...the Junies w/ their soccer trophy...
...Soccer is a fun activity that helps kids stay active. With physical activity comes many
health benefits like muscular development and motor skills.
Plus, it's good for kids making
friends, which is an important part of social development.
Later, I think it will be
valuable building life skills...such as hard work, decision making and communication...
...Junies w/ Uncle Roger & Aunt Debbie and their momma...

...this little is thrilled that she is going to be on "All Star Pom" w/ Elite...
...We are excited for the confidence this will give her...
...We are so thankful for Jamie that has pushed her to work hard for reaching goals...

...the bunny has been begging months for a kitten...
...her mom caved and got this cute, tortoiseshell kitten from one of her work friends...
,,,the bunny was with her dad, so Linz met up with them so she could see Ariel...
...she had already picked out her name...
...It is very cute...but, of course, most all kittens are cute...😻
...I am sure she is anxious to get back to her mom's on Friday...
~~~
...Yay FriYAYYYYY...

...Because the weather was predicted to be cooler on Sunday, the girls decided to celebrate
on Saturday so the littles could swim...
Brian was sweet to host at his house b/c they would have a heated pool for swimming...
...It turned out to be an awesome day...
...And, I have to say these girls of mine💓💓....I am in awe of how they have worked full time jobs
(full time, stressful jobs) and still been able to handle this single mom life...and done it well...

...The morning of May 27th, the temperature in Bristow fell to 49 degrees. Today, Memorial Day,
showers and thunderstorms are again pushing in to end the month and begin the month of June. It
seems May 2021 has been in a rain fog most of the month! Woke up with temps being 58 degrees
with a predicted high of 69....this has not been our typical May!..
