More May Fun

Here's some more fun May stuff. This is Jonah's pre-K teacher this year. What a sweetheart she was - the class gave a plant to her as a thank you gift for being such a great teacher.

We had a field day at school. Here's Caleb joining in the fun with the other 2 year olds at the school.

Jonah's class at Field Day - The Green Team! All the kids had so much fun.

We had every event from potato sack races and obstacle courses to...the cake eating contest. Here's Jonah and friends diggin' in! The little girl on the right, Victoria, actually won. She was one of those quiet ones that sneaks up on you in the contest. Good job Victoria! Caleb actually participated in the 2 year old class and won! He even wanted more when he got finished! (No pictures, didn't get to see it!)

On Sunday, we had Caleb and Hannah's baby dedication. Caleb is not really a baby anymore, but we finally had an official dedication for him. We are so blessed to have these two wonderful kids. My prayer is that we will do our best to teach them to honor the Lord and love Him with all their heart, soul and strength! Caleb was not real happy about going on stage. I don't have a picture, but at one point he was flopped out in the floor crying. He wanted to go down and sit with his cousin "Wogan" (Logan) who was there to see the dedication. What can you do??!

My Dad came and said a special prayer over the family. Boy, I realize every day more and more how much I need the prayers of those around me. What an awesome responsibility to be a parent. Thank goodness for the grace of God!

Daddy comes over and says a prayer with the family. Caleb is still not real happy about the whole situation.

I finally get Caleb to stay on the stage with me. Here's the 8 babies who were dedicated at our church on Sunday. Afterward, some of us went out to eat. My side of the family had to get back home, but the rest of us enjoyed an Italian lunch. We were so blessed to see family that we had not seen in a while. Adam's Buckshot (grandfather from his mom's side), Mimi (grandmother from Adam's Dad's side), and Adam's mom Tootsie.
Mimi got to stay with us for a couple of days. The boys are enjoying a traditional Mimi story of Peter Rabbit. Mimi is a very gifted storyteller, and all the grandkids are very familiar with her many stories that she loves to tell.

Here is Mimi and Jonah in the kitchen cookin' up some treats. Mimi always has to make spinach dip which is Adam's favorite and she also made some Hello Dolly Cake. Jonah was excited to help out by crushing the cracker crumbs. I have a special love and respect for Mimi, because she too was a preacher's wife. She has so much wisdom and love to show to all around. On Memorial Day we visited the Dallas Arboretum. What a beautiful place. We got to see lots of storybook playhouses and of course tons of gorgeous flowers.
Here's Jonah playing in the water at the Arboretum. They have these little splash fountains that you can either splash in...or get drenched. Guess which one Jonah did? We didn't have any other clothes, so at first I told him to just get a little wet. Have you ever known of a kid to understand a "little wet". I don't know why I even bothered! Caleb was not into the whole wet thing that day, so he steered clear. Hannah just enjoyed watching her brother get soaked.
