Kindergarten Performance & Field Day!

"BUGZ"~
Conner was in the Kindergarten performance on Thursday night.
It was so cute and they all worked so hard making it an awesome play!

Conner was an Army Ant :)

marching in the isle.

Everyone did such a great job with their lines, and we were so impressed with the music.

Below is the head Army Ant (Conner's para-pro, Ms. Green)

Field Day~

Mark and I were excited to get a chance to participate in Tealsey's all day field day yesterday.
We were thankful that the weather wasn't to hot and there was no humidity :)
All the kids had an awesome time, and we are blessed to have such an amazing elementary school for Conner to be a part of :)

Conner's class waiting to start one of the relay's

Conner running with the rubber chicken,

passing it off to Nico,

and going again.

The class looking tired and taking a lil break, luckily after this we all got to go eat
some lunch and relax inside with the AC.

After lunch waiting in the gym to climb the big rope wall.
(Layla, Gary, Conner, Colm and Ariel).

Conner starting his climb.
It was so wobbly, we were really impressed that everyone in Conner's class
made it all the way to the top.

At the top!
With cute Gary smiling at the side.

At the very end of the long action packed day everyone got to outside on the playground and enjoy listening and dancing to band from Cuba, while enjoying some Popsicle's.

More randomness :)

Early Father's day gifts for Mark (since school will be out for that holiday).
He got a sweet laminated place mat, a laminated tie, and a hand made
cup made from pottery that was painted and glazed!

My Mother's day hand made cup (I am currently using it as a ring cup in the bathroom),
and a sweet laminated place mat, and a really cute Mother's day card :)

Mark and I going out on a date night!
Conner got to have a sleepover, so we got the entire evening and morning
to ourselves :)
notice the belly growing oh so large...
(it's hard to see at this angle, Conner took this pic).

We have already enjoyed a few awesome days at the pool!
I can imagine us using the pool quite a bit this summer :)

Randomness ~

This is Conner's kitty Kelso above. He is so silly sometimes the way he
sits, mark just had to take his picture :)

Conner having waaay to much fun in a giant box.

Mark trying to teach Conner how to roller skate, at his first roller birthday party!

Conner with a couple buds,
and Conner laying poolside catching some sun.
This is pretty much where we plan on spending the entire month of June, or
until lil brother comes :)

As far as how things are going with little baby boy Blackwood: things are going really great!
We kinda have a name, but haven't really made it public just yet (in the off chance that we change our minds). I'm feeling really good, and adjusting to my ever growing tummy :)
We went to the dr.'s today and the little guy is 3.5 pounds! (which seems really big to me), and I'm 30 weeks today! So I definitely feel as ginormous sense of accomplishment. Everything is looking great with all of his measurements and development. We are staying super busy with both Mark and Conner finishing this school year. Mark has his finals this week (I can;t wait for him to finish!), and Conner only has a few weeks left. He has something big going on pretty much all the time up until he's done, so we are busy busy getting everything finished. I definitely feel the fatigue, some days I go to the doctor's and do one load of laundry and I'm ready for the day to be over :)
