Twentieth Anniversary

 These crazy kids got together 20 YEARS AGO!!!

 A lot has changed in two decades, but the love and team has only gotten stronger.  

We had a wonderful night, and a beautiful sunset to commemorate our celebrations.  

Ryan Progress

 I cannot remember if I posted this video, but it's important to see the goals  Ryan has been achieving in gymnastics.

He is the third one on the video:

We are so proud of his hard work!!

I also love that his class loves him, too!

Marble Fun

The marble run has been one of our favorite toys over the years.  

 2020 could not change that!

First vs. Last

We started the 2019-2020 school year feeling great!

Especially MOM!

We ended the year ready to be outside and get out of virtual academy.  2020 was rough.  

So rough, that Kyle forgot what grade he had finished.  

 He might have made that mistake, but he was one of only a few about a dozen 6th graders to receive big award, the one for Grit.  

I'm so proud of all these boys for rolling with the ups and downs of this school year.  Ryan said it pretty well:

Outdoor Cousin Fun

It's been such beautiful weather in May.  We were able to get out the slip-n-slide and have a fun afternoon!

Evan stayed on the slip -n- slide longer than them all!  

 

Ryan + Po Start a Business

Po and Meow decided to go in together on a cotton candy machine.  So far, they have just given away samples to family members.  

2020 is probably not the best year to start selling food items, but we have had fun with their excitement.  

 

Quarantine Haircut

Hair was getting shaggy.  

We headed out to an open place.  

Much better after a shave and a hair cut!

 

Mother's Day

A few days before Mother's Day, my brain decided to check out for a for hours.  I knew what I was trying to communicate on the inside, but could not make my mouth move in the right ways.  

Stephen took me to the ER for some checks.  Thanks to Coronas, the ER staff wanted him to wait in the car, until they realized I was not mentally capable enough to explain symptoms and fill out forms.  After some fluids and time, everything felt likely it slowly returned to normal.  

On actual Mother's Day, I really wanted to spend time with my four boys.  They all worked together to make orange waffles and let me sleep in until they were ready. 

I felt so much love!  Here's a small piece of that from Ryan:

 

How thankful I am for all these men in my family!

Blue Angels Flyover

 The Blue Angels put together a multiple city flyover on their way....somewhere.  We were lucky enough to see it from our upstairs veranda.  

I did not do a great job of filming, but a friend's video was great.  The whole thing was really cool, especially during these trying times.
