April

-It took me over 2 hours to register my daughter for kindergarten. I poured my heart out about the lack of stability with our frequent moves.  Lucas was student of the month.

-Made and taught you all how to make cute laundry room decor.
I tried to get Easter pictures of my kids- someone wasn't cooperating

My kid said some funny (and disgusting) things.   I then turned serious and got political about the wealthy's ability to understand.

I shared my awesome cake making abilities and taught you how to make the perfect cake from a box!
And we all got to enjoy how Ryder eats pizza

May

I began by wondering why I can't just enjoy playtime anymore.

I crashed a blogger get together and got to meet a lot of awesome bloggers in real life!
Impulsive Addict, Viv of VSpot, Seriously Shawn, ME, Jenny Harried mom 4, Rebeca Texas Darling, JK, Connie Young and Relentless
Made a gift for Lucas' teacher
Lucas AND Alex learned how to ride their bikes!

Celebrated Mother's Day with a tribute to my mama.

And my preemie baby Ryder turned 2!!
And of course I showed you how I made his farm cake.

Had lots of fun with  my parents in town; attended lots of soccer games; there was a solar eclipse and 

an awesome weekend away with my bestie CA Girl and our families.

And school ended, Alex graduated from preschool and we celebrated with a surprise weekend trip for our kids. 

June
  -Started off all political again, but this time about marriage.  And then later about kids and clothing

-Started sharing my instragram photoaday pics and began the meme at the end of the month. 

Had a fabulous weekend in Big Bear with the family 
Some summer slip and slide fun
I told you 1000 (okay maybe a few less) reasons I blog and celebrated 11 years of marriage! 

Celebrated Father's day with a cute gift for Eric
Lucas and Alex learned how to swim!  
So there we go- there is my recap. 
Can't wait to see your recaps!  And don't forget to get your points for this week.

  16. Wow, and people keep telling me I was busy. I think you blow me completely out of the water. I just love that Easter photo of Ryder! And I didn't realize he turned 2 earlier this year, although I remember reading the post. Boy It's so hard to believe it has been 6+ months ago all this happened!
