Dearest Colt and Jackson,
May was exciting for so many reasons! First of all, it's the end of the school year so there's a buzz in the air that's palpable. On top of that, we had some experiences that were much anticipated...
First up was Mother's Day
Mid-month we sent y'all to stay with Grandpa and Grandma so we could fly to Cancun! We celebrated Justin turning 40 with a fantastic fiesta!
Unfortunately, the beach was all sorts of yuck but the guys had some fun with the seaweed mover ; )
Us ladies had our own beach fun despite the mess!
It was fun spending our days at our resort's pools.
The good times didn't stop when the sun went down though. Our resort had a silent disco and it was too fun for pictures! The only shot I managed to capture was this one of your dad and me wearing our headphones mid dancing.
Sand volleyball was exponentially more difficult after a few days of all inclusive eating and drinking!
Of course we filled up a bottle with beach sand on our last night there and enjoyed a fancy French restaurant before returning home to you two.
I was still on a vacation high but JT was in Dallas so Michelle and I had a double date with our man.
And we didn't want to be the only ones having all the fun this month so we took y'all to our favorite animal shelter at the end of the month. Our intentions were to allow both of you to pick out a dog and come home with two dogs from Operation Kindness. However, it turns out that your heart was still broken from the loss of Senji, Colt. The experience was quite emotional and was too much for you. So I took you to the back garden and we sat on a bench while Dad and Jax toured the facility looking for "the one". We played with a few different dogs and we were struggling to make a decision. Then, "Little Larry" came out and it was a done deal.
On the drive home, we agreed to change his name to Striker in homage to both baseball and soccer. Striker took no time fitting in with our fam!
Lastly, we hosted our peeps for a Memorial Day dip and I made a note to wear my straw hat at next year's party!
C'mon, Summer!!
