May 13 = Big Graduation Day

Well I saw this and I have to start with it because it fits me very well...


And now I'll post some pictures from Matthew's graduation!


Oops... found something else that fit me very well.  Graduations are boring, okay?


I was in seat 13 on May 13th- our dating anniversary- had to take a picture!





Meese's parents came to watch Matt graduate- so cute :)







After graduation, Matthew & Meese's church group threw Matt a party- Zachary met us there with the whole clan... my dad got to have some bonding time with Miss Rosie.


We didn't stay very long because... we rarely stay anywhere besides the gym or home for very long... here's Rosie meeting Abbie.


Soon after, my parents got home and they watched the kids for us so we could go grab dinner at La Cocina.  Still working on the final baby name...


Then it was time for bed.  Haha, not.

May 12 = Graduation Festivities Day 1

Today my family went to Matthew's first graduation ceremony- they had one for his minor- Non-Profit.  They provided a delicious lunch (with sweet tea) and had an awesome speaker.  Here's what my kids were up to while not being at a ceremony they would have added a lot of noise to...



And here's pictures from the ceremony:












And more of what my children were up to... including my furry child:








Also, I saw this on facebook and sent it to Zachary for encouragement ;)


May 11 = Travel Day

Before we left for NC, I grabbed a picture of Miss Rosie dragging the kitchen mat into the dining room... she's a busy girl.


And now for pictures on the road... Rosie definitely had the most space of any of us...


Malia can sleep anywhere...


As can Rosie.


Liam had taken the iPad away from Malia... she's giving him a death stare.


This picture is Zachary's dream come true:


We went to the Hollidays and my parents picked me up from there so I could go to Matthew's graduation festivities sans children.  Here's Mimi meeting Rosie:


May 10 = Couch Nap Day

I'm way behind again so these next several posts are going to be mainly pictures with a few words...

Rosie will sleep anywhere...



 I got an early Mother's Day gift today from Mr. Liam:


So these children have started making a huge mess in their room during nap time so I decided today to have them "nap" where I could see them.   Liam didn't go to sleep but Rosie did...



 ...and so did Malia!

May 9 = Getting Dressed Day

This morning I was woken up to Liam yelling "Come here daddy, come here daddy," over and over again.  I opened his door and he said "I got dressed!"  He had taken his pajamas off and gotten a pair of pants and a tshirt out of his dresser and put it on.  I was so proud!



Zachary had taken Rosie to work this morning because she was a ball of energy and he wanted me to be able to get some more sleep... I think being at work wore her out.



I got Rosie back after taking Liam to school so Rosie, Malia and I got to spend some quality time together- just us girls :)


Later, we went to the playground.  I will drive the short distance next time because getting the three of these crazy kids to the playground is quite a task.


I shot a short video at the playground... these kids crack me up.

 

I forgot to look at an update on the baby on Sunday so I took a screen shot of The Bump app today instead... we're getting there!


Later, we grilled some chicken outside.  One of our neighbors was leaving and on her way out said- "Wow, you all really are from North Carolina, you grill out every night!"  Truth.  Rosie liked being outside and while she doesn't typically tolerate blankets on her, it was a bit chilly so she did this time.


Also, I've mentioned my baby blanket on the blog a few times and I have a feeling Gigi may turn out to be his version of my baby blanket... looks like there's nothing to worry about!
