May begins summer fun!

May was the end of Hadley's gymnastics lessons but the beginning of summer fun! 

Here's a first and last picture above. She's definitely taller! She just won't stop growing upward.

Hadley made herself some gal pals so we put on their exact leotards and recreated a picture we took. You can see how tight the leotards are on the bottom left. We were so lucky we met some great friends for hadley (and myself) on our random Tuesday morning class.

We also decided to visit the Atlanta zoo with Hadley's cousins. For some reason it was abnormally cool that May day. It was almost end of May, we wanted to get a trip in before school let out.

We also did a refresher swim lesson course and have spent lots of days at my sister's pool with cousins and more cousins. 

We've hit some playgrounds with gal pals before it got to be 100 degrees outside. 

This was actually the first pool we visited at my sister's husband's parent's (did you get all that?) club house pool in mid-May. Weather sure was nice in May but pool temperature was NOT ok to get in until end of June.

Kids had some fun bike riding days and lovely walking evenings. This is a pic of my sis with her kids and Hadley in my neighborhood. Max loves him some pjs.

We were right to get in a lot of outdoor activities in May because temperatures took a drastic and fast rise in June. Temps haven't been below 90 since then! (I am not sure that's accurate haha). I know I'm behind in blogging but I like reminiscing back a couple months to catch up.

More of April

In April, I decided it was time for Hadley's FIRST haircut! My mom was getting her hair done so we snuck in a little appointment during it. We didn't have much time to talk about it and she was super nervous. She insisted on me sitting with her so that's what we did. She did a great job though. Hadley only got a couple inches off to even it out and cut off dead ends.

Don't worry, I saved her curly little locks for her baby book. 

James installed crown molding in our living room area and he did a fantastic job (as usual). I think it really completes the area.

(top one is the before)

Hadley was super thrilled to learn she could finally hold the dog! Maddie is less than thrilled but she deserves any extra love since she is usually the one giving it.

My Aunt Kathy had come for a visit and Hadley sure does love a visitor!

If this picture doesn't say trouble, I don't know what does! Look at my sweet princess haha

We had been waiting to go strawberry picking and one day it was pick two buckets and get one free day. So we all piled in David's truck and off we went!

This gal was super into eating them..... and eating them..... Coco basically ate the entire strawberry patch, which is frowned upon haha

For some reason Hadley decided to be the ruler follower and did not eat a single one. I couldn't even convince her to.

The strawberry ice-cream they had was seriously THE BEST. It had strawberry chunks in it and so so good. Makes me want it now and I'm not a big ice-cream person.

No doubt Hadley liked it

Seems like so long ago that we could even have a fleece jacket on! We are dying of heat down here right now.

This was my end results of our strawberry picking. My sister had just about the same amount too. We just finished our last frozen pie the other day, still delicious!
