May is a busy month for school kiddos... everything is wrapping up! Briggs had beginners day at Dilworth (hard to believe!). Dance and aerial finished up and Charley did awesome at her showcase. We took a fun trip to the mountains with Grandma & Grandpa (technically Dad's birthday trip). And the boys finished preschool! I am so thankful for their wonderful year at school. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Even though the girls have a little more school, the end-of-the-year is definitely in the air. They're preparing for EOG testing, and then get to enjoy a fun last week!

| Charley has played with the old Baby Abby since she was a baby, but since it was technically Lily's baby doll she's really wanted one just like it for her own. She's still working on her name... for now it's Abby too, but we'll see. Love seeing her Mommy side. |

 |
| Ms. Hyde's advice for EOG's... Step 1- Write down your fears. |
 |
| Step 2- tear them up... |
 |
| And Step 3- let them go! |

 |
| Although preschool technically ended, they've started something called "Spring into Summer" where their 4's get to continue "school" for two more weeks. |
 |

Her cute piggy soap from the mountains (Charley got a llama).
