The Birthday Month

May for our family is a month of birthdays. With my dad's birthday starting the month May 1, then comes moms on May 9 and Kate's on May 10. It's nice though because it usually means some good food and new stuff :) The month of May here in OH is when this year the flowers are bursting. We have 3 bushes/trees in specific that in the past week have just bursted open with flowers. It's been so pretty and refreshing.

So first for dad's birthday his main gift was to take him to a Detroit Tigers Baseball Game.

 Here is the new stadium :)

 This best part though was that my dad got to talk with THE Willie Horton. Whom he had already met when Willie had come to Weavers Mennonite when he was pastoring there.

It was a lot of fun :)

Since Mom's birthday was the day after Mothers Day we had more of a two day celebration. Dad and us girls made her lunch on Sunday and we also went MUSHROOM HUNTING! Then on Monday (her birthday) her she purchased a new bike and spent time with dad on her day off.

For Kate's birthday she had some of her friends from school over and we had a special supper for her too. It was a great time celebrating for all.
  Another good thing is that school is done! Yesterday was our last day :) We got out so early because our school is being demolished and a new one is being built. So another nice thing is that we don't have to go back to school until September. I will keep you updated with all the things I am planning to do this summer. Here are some of the things I plan to do:
-Volunteer at Ten Thousand Villages
-Go to Convention in Pittsburgh with my youth group
-Take a trip to Harrisonburg for a couple days to visit with friends
-Take voice lessons..O that reminds me I auditioned for a singing group called Noteworthy at my school and made it!!! So I'm very happy about that.
-I also plan to do a Monday Night League for volleyball and maybe a camp in June.
So yeah, I am looking forward to this summer!
Take Care!
