We've Had a BUSY May!

We have been SUPER busy this month!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day, which happened to fall on the same day as Braedyn's birthday! We started with a great breakfast at David and Emily's. Here is the whole Bates Gang:

And, our first picture as a family of FIVE!  Hard to believe I am now the mommy to THREE beautiful kiddos!

Braedyn's preschool also held a Mother's Day Tea for us.  It was so sweet! He made me the most beautiful bracelet out of buttons! 


One of everyone's favorite things we have done this month has to be the Kid's Tough Mudder! We heard about it from a friend and knew we had to sign the kids up! Check them out after the race:

Can you tell they had a BLAST?!

While Brookelyn loves to get dirty in the mud, she loves dance even more! She had her dance recital last week - or should I say dance MARATHON! Since she is on the Company Team, she performed in both showings, which mean Mommy, Daddy, Braedyn, and Braxtyn got to stay at the theater from 12:30 until 9:30.  It was certainly a LONG day, but we loved watching her do what she so enjoys!

We have also been busy watching Braedyn play t-ball! This is his first year, and he is doing great! Go Dodgers!

Can't wait to see what Braxtyn will be into!
