Some of the crAZinEsS that is May


 May is the craziest month.  With school winding down and all the other fun things going on, it keeps us running all month long.  But we love it and have had so much fun!  Here's what we've been up to:


 Lola's Ballet Recital...
so cute to watch our little dancer.  She loves to dance and is so graceful and has so much more coordination and rhythm than her mother.  It was a crazy, busy night with the boys piano recital the same time, so we didn't get cute pics before/after and these were taken from so far away.   But she did awesome and we loved every minute of her cute performance!



Jackson and Miles piano recital...
these boys of mine have worked so hard this year and I am so impressed with what good little piano players they have become.  I wish I could say that it's been all happy, pleasant practicing all year, but we have had our fair share of complaining, whining, and feeling sorry for ourselves.  BUT...they were so excited to perform and both did such a great job on their songs. 



 Jackson's River Heights Mile. . . 
to practice for the Wellsville Mile, they hold a River Heights mile.  Cute Jacks was a nervous wreck the whole morning.  He is my responsible, hard working, perfectionist kid and expects so much of himself.  He did such a great job and got 5th place out of all the boys in his grade.  So awesome!



 


 Jackson's Wellsville Mile. . .
this is such a fun tradition in the South end of our valley.  It's such a big deal and the kids prepare for it for months leading up to it.  All the elementary schools from this whole end of Cache Valley come.  Jacks was so nervous but it was such a fun day and such a great atmosphere with all those hundreds and hundreds of excited kids.  Jackson took 32nd place out of about 400 4th grade boys.  We were so proud of him!

Miles' Soccer Season. . . 
this boy fell in love with soccer this year.  He worked so hard and was such a good little player.  He always scored several goals in the games and was such a great hustler.  I was so proud of how far he came! 



Lola's Soccer Season. . . 
Lo had lots of fun playing soccer this spring too.  She works really hard and runs really fast trying to get that ball.  Plus, she's so dang cute out there!




Miles Second Grade Race. . .
Miles had his 2nd grade race today.  He is such my happy go lucky, no stress kid and wasn't even worried about it for one second.  It was so much fun to watch him and I was so proud of how he did.  He took 6th place in his heat and got a medal.  So fun!


And this cute little squirt has been a trouper being carted around to all these fun events.  She loves playing outside while her siblings do their thing.  She has it pretty good too.

whew.  that was major picture overload.

What a good update! You guys are SO busy! You did great taking pictures and documenting it all. It makes me realize how calm my life is right now...haha! Not much going on for us! I wish we lived closer so I could be there to see all of these events. I love that Lo likes soccer so much!

I LOVE a good overload of pictures from your blog! You guys sure lead some crazy lives over there in the Stokes household-but it all looks so very fun and exciting. Sounds like summer is coming!!!
