Mothers Day

Mother's Day was a great day.  We had a fun breakfast in bed, went to our new ward and had family over for dinner that night.  Sure love these kids!

Talent Fest

Every year the middle school hosts a huge Talent Festival.  There are lots of games and activities, food booths and 4 hours worth of talent, ranging from instrumental, dancing, singing, hula hooping and much more.  This year the emcees were Trevor and one of his oldest friends, Kendall.  They have been friends since kindergarten, competing in Elementary UIL events and performing in middle school plays the last few years, so it was fun to see them perform together one last time before heading off to different high schools in the fall.  They kicked off the night with a funny rap and entertained us all night with jokes between introducing the next act.

Yum Yums Bakery

Jake had a fun school project for his 3rd grade Expo.  They had to create a business, complete with a business plan and advertising.  Jake teamed up with his best friend Alex and came up with Yum Yums Bakery.  They were cute in working on their project.  It took a few extra playdates meetings to get everything done the way they wanted. 

They were awesome at the Expo, singing their advertising limmericks that have a catchy little tune that gets stuck in your head.  Luke still occasionally sings about the "Buttery, Buttery, Buttery Bread".

Yoda Soda

Per tradition, we had a little Star Wars fun today for May the Fourth Be With You.  Couldn't let the day go by without a little Yoda Soda!  There were big boundary changes for our ward at church today and for the first time in 19 years, we are in a different congregation.  We are excited to meet new friends in the Hermann Park but will miss our Maplewood 2 family so much.  Yoda Soda was just the thing to help us restore a little balance to our galaxy this evening!
