Spring/summer flowers

McKenzie finishes her last day of school today and Matt will finish with his May Day play day tomorrow.  I am so ready for this....



We will be going to Orange Beach soon and we are all excited. Always by this time of year we are ready for it!  This spring has not been too bad. Matt decided this year that he did not want to play baseball so that has freed up a lot of time for us. Especially David because he was the one taking him to practice two and three times a week. Chess club is still meeting so Matt is enjoying that and he is looking forward to chess camp in June here in Grenada and DSU basketball camp in July.

Here are a few pictures of Matt at our church's recent children's musical. As you can see he is not real excited like McKenzie always was but he does have a good attitude and does what he is suppose to do. We got tickled at him that night, he would look at us and you could tell he was trying to hold back a big smile. It was a really cute musical.





McKenzie has her dance production with Charisma June 6 and 7 and we are excited about Alice in Wonderland this year!! They are busy with all their end of the year practices.  Can't wait to see what Mandy has in store for the show.

Here is McKenzie right before a friend's 13th birthday party. It was the cutest theme, a Rave dance party. You paint clothes that glow in the dark and wear them to the party. It is dark and all the kids glow in the dark. She had a blast. I saw the pictures she took on her phone and everyone looked so cute. She is growing up! Hard to believe she will be in 8th grade next year and the next high school!!! Hard to wrap my head around that one! I guess that means David and I are getting old.

I finally finished a few pots out front and one on the deck. I don't know what was wrong with me but I couldn't get motivated this year, but I am pleased with the final result. I am always wanting to change things up so I moved my wood furniture that I have had for years to the front porch. David and the kids gave me cushions and pillows for mother's day to put on them. I found this great stuff at Bed Bath and Beyond in Memphis. I ended up ordering a lime green bench cushion from them online and hopefully it will be here soon. I moved my cute little iron bench by our back door. I always like to have it looking welcoming by the back door because we use that door the most. Here are a few pictures...

-- love seeing all the pictures of all the busyness going in with the Cummings! I like the "new" front porch furniture. It's always fun to change around.
Happy summer!
