Kaylee went from a Brownie meeting to her very excitedly anticipated dentist appointment (those at the office think she might be a dentist when she grows up) before performing her talent show again during Milikan High School's Senior Day for Hope's (her dance instructor) Senior Project. The next day we all went to watch the Lorax in appreciation of Arbor Day at their school's outdoor movie night. That weekend we all did some fun projects including more prep for the upcoming school Carnival. We also built and donated a Lego's First Competition Table for the school. Cienna's first competition last month was our inspiration. We then had play time with the Marshall's and headed to Knott's Berry Farm for a couple of rides.
Cienna worked very hard and had so much fun in Chorus this year with Ms. Karoncong she made Mommy tear up when watching their fantastic Spring performance. The following weekend we attended Girl Scout Night with the LA Galaxy. Although it was a late night, it was a great high scoring game and full of fun memories for the girls. They got their third signature on their homemade T-Shirts. We then FINALLY got to planting the garden. We got way more plants than planned, but it is going to be awesome. The whole family enjoyed getting dirty and are ready for the rewarding food to come. That weekend we decided to shower Daddy with his Birthday gifts since we were all together even though his birthday was on Thursday, we had other plans for that evening. Auntie Kimmie's fairy from next door also brought the girls delicious cinnamon rolls that we all got to share.
Daddy decided we would all have a great time and head to Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner in downtown Knott's Berry Farm for his birthday and hope we could fit in a ride. We got there at 5:30 expecting it to be open to 9pm, but they informed us that it closed at 6. We went for the ride anyway, and it turns out that Thursday is a great time to go. We got 4 rides in a half an hour. They even let Kaylee on one that she was a tiny bit too short for because nobody at all was in any line! Afterward we enjoyed a great meal and celebrated Daddy!
Daddy continued to celebrate the next morning as Uncle B showed up and they headed off to Brewfest. Mommy stayed with the girls and worked hard setting up the 4th Grade Carnival Booth, Kick the Satellite into Space! It was a long day and a lot of hard work went into a very successful school carnival, but the children had an amazing time and a lot of money was raised to go toward keeping our school as great as it is.
The next morning Steph picked up Mommy to join the party at Brewfest. Before that Mommy went running then dropped off the girls at the Marshalls for a fun filled day starting with breakfast at Ruby's. They enjoyed their day and slumber party almost as much as Daddy did during Brewfest. It was awesome sleeping on the truck aero-bed with a camper shell.
When we got home there was quite a lot of preparation to get done for Teacher Appreciation Week, along with Administrative Assistant, appreciating our great school nurse, and of course our principal! We have such great faculty and wanted to make sure they know it.
Next is was Cienna with on Ortho appt. and a Junior meeting to make a wonderful Mother's Day gift. Before Mother's Day we had an amazing time at the Lakewood Equestrian Center donating our time and money to a cause that lets children volunteer to keep hundreds of horses happy just a few miles from our home. We enjoyed friends, games, horses, petting all kinds of animals and a place where we see spending a lot more time! We won a raffle of a couple of pillow cases that were made by Sam which is a very good gymnastics friend of ours whom we bought the tickets from!
The next day we had a lot of catching up to do with so many other activities happening. Mother's Day was spent just like Mom likes. We tailgated in the parking lot where we got supplies for Cienna's Mission project (Mission De Asis) and Kaylee's Dinosaur Diorama of a Stegosaurus. That was our family time projects for the day and it was great. Mom got plenty of very thoughtful gifts and just enjoyed hanging out with Daddy and the girls.
Ending the month, Cienna had her dentist appt. and then a field trip that she had plenty to talk about at Rancho Los Cerritos. The grand finale if the month which will continue the first day of next month was the visit of the Switeck's. They stopped by Friday night on their way home from an amazing week+ long family vacation that we were lucky to be part of. The girls hit it off immediately that evening and the next day only got better!
Till next time!
