Closing out April!

I had to. I laugh every. single. year. I really miss 1998.

I can't believe it is April 30th! April was a month full of celebrations and enjoying a very rainy month of Spring!

Last week was Camryn's first day of horseback riding! She was over the moon excited and I was too for her!! She is the perfect child to be around animals.



Last week we also ended our school year with our academic Co-Op. The girls really enjoyed participating in their Presentation Night!

 

 

They worked so hard all year and we are so proud of them.We closed out our school year with an End of the Year party at Camp Southern Ground. The girls had fun playing and the weather turned out to be great!





After the party we came home and made gluten-free Mickey Mouse shaped sugar cookies for Charleigh's birthday the next day.

After the party Saturday, we spent the rest of the day at home working on the project that never ends tree house with Kyle's parents, and getting ready for worship on Sunday.

Finally got up all four walls! So close to being done!

Aunt Sarah and Logan came to visit us on Sunday for church & lunch at Green Ginger since it was Charleigh's actual birthday. Sarah spoiled both me and Charleigh with birthday presents and we loved getting to catch up on hugs! :)

One of the many gifts she received from Aunt Sarah! Her favorites were the dollar tree sunglasses and cup though. So funny!

She loves Aunt Sarah!!

a very pretty birthday girl.

Sunday night was a celebration at church for the kids Lads to Leaders program that they participate in every year. Our good friend Mr. Chris made it super special by having everyone sing happy birthday to Charleigh.  A perfect way to end her birthday!!

Monday was our season one dinner finale event for Becoming. As usual it was a lot of work in a very short amount of time, but so rewarding! I am so grateful for my team and everything that this ministry has brought to our church family. I will write more on that soon. :)

Tuesday Cam had her second day of Riding Lessons that afternoon.

 The little girls and Preston really enjoyed getting to watch her and all of the horses. They even let Callie hop on for a short ride. 







I am feeling really good with our decision of where we chose for her to take lessons. It has worked out really great so far!!

Wednesday was back to school and back to normal, finally!!! After nearly a month of all kinds of breaks here and there for various reasons, it feels so good to know that here on out all through summer we are doing relaxed schooling (reading & math only) mixed in with a whole lot of homemaking! I already got back to organizing, starting with Preston's clothes- he's growing so fast! Now that we are done with our main curriculum and Becoming is on a break until Fall, I am truly looking forward to just focusing on our family and home life with no other to-do's for a while. I've never been more excited to meal plan! The neighborhood pools open up this weekend so I'm also excited to join our friends at the pool each morning while everyone else is still in school ;) #perksofhomeschooling

May is going to be relaxing and exciting! We are officially counting down the days until our family beach trip, Preston's first trip to the beach!! Can't wait to see his little baby toes in the sand. The rest of May will hopefully be spent outside soaking up the last of the nice not-too-hot weather outside before summer hits and the Georgia Heat takes over!

Coming up next on my little blog... more of In Case You Were Wondering, more about Becoming, and as I promised last week, my favorite weeknight dinner recipes and as a little bonus, my favorite desserts I've been whippin' up lately for local activities. Happy (almost) May!!!
