The weeks kind of roll together. Monday and Wednesday nights we head to Ames for taekwondo and Krav Maga classes. Some nights we take a sack lunch and some nights we eat out. Some nights are sunny and warm, others are storming and raining. The first week of May was lightning storms and not long ago it was snowing and now 70 and 80 degrees. During the week the boys had a homeschool art class on drawing animals. Both boys had some awesome drawings, Jake a wolf and Luke a fox and a horse. They really enjoyed the class.
Mark and I had a date night because he got rained out of the field. He was tired from planting and I was stressed from homeschool and we both needed it. We had a half hour massage and went out to dinner. Jayden took her brothers to 209 Main so she didnt have to cook.
The first of May Orrie had knee surgery and we went down to see him the following day. He never stopped talking to the nurses the whole time we were there. 5 different nurses came in and out and he told us all about them. I think he likes all the attention. Once he was back home the boys took turns helping Grandpa. Luke is very compassionate and takes to helping. Maybe that is something that will follow him into a career someday.
Saturday Abby had her bridal shower. It was really fun with all the cousins and no boys/boyfriends. It kind of felt like old times for awhile. All the girls could just be themselves and talk with each other and were genuine. Then the boyfriends showed up...
Jake got to hang out with Jake, Zach, and Riley during the shower. He loved every minute of it. He doesn't get to be at the Ferrari's often, I asked if he could be there during the shower so he could go home with Grandma Connie. He and I wish he could spend more time there.
This month Luke, Jayden, and I attended Alivia's dance recital in Webster City. They put on such an awesome recital with a lot of talent. My only complaint is that each of the classes perform for such a short amount of time. Some of the routines weren't even a minute long. All the practice, costume expense, and time put into dance class and there performance is so short. Alivia was in a tumbling class this year.
Luke also had his recital this month with his guitar. He had been practicing and working on "Sweet Home Alabama." He performed in front of other lesson families and Carina, Alivia, and my parents.
Here is Jayden and her friends, they like selfies!
