This is the invitation to my Pre-School graduation celebration.  Everyone plans to come.  It is a long walk to the back of the park where the amphitheater is, so Mimz will try to get a car pass so she can drive GGF and GGM to the event.

Mimz and I found this big snapping turtle down the street.  Mimz tried to use her foot to move him closer to the curb and he turned and snapped at her foot.

He also pushed up high with his back legs to make himself look larger. 

 His tail had raised spikes on it and I said it looked like an alligator tail.  Mimz let me take some of the pictures but I would not get too close to him.  He looked fierce.

 My Play Pals: Peyton, Brooke, and Jenna.  Three sisters who live next door to Mimz.  We love to ride scooters on Mimz' driveway.

Anna Kate spend last week at her home with her maternal grandparents.  She changed a bunch during that week.  She had five teeth a week ago.  Now she had seven for sure and maybe eight.   And boy can she crawl.  Now that poses a problem.  She can't play on GGM's bed because she is so fast she could fall off before someone could catch her.  She won't stay on her play mats and until we get the new floors installed (which starts May 28th...yea!) she can't be crawling on the hard cement floors in case she falls and hits her head.

The only place that leaves is her play pen.  She will play in it entertaining herself for a period of time.  But mostly she wants to stand up. 

 We moved all the hard plastic toys to the other end of the play pen in case she falls.  She can pull herself up, but she can't get down, so someone has to stay close by to help her down.

This little girl loves to be outside.  She sat in her stroller for at least an hour watching GGM and Barbara (mostly GGM) weed the flower beds.  

My cousin Beckett had to have eye surgery because of a tear on his eye.  It has been a couple of month since then and he still has a small tear at one corner and they are just watching it for now.  There is a good chance it will require another surgery at some point.   He can't play sports or roughhouse play of any kind.  His vision is compromised.  Sure hope it gets stabilized soon so he can play like I know he wants to.
