May Happenings

We had lots of fun in May this year. 

First, we went to the Bridge's Bay waterpark.  On Sundays from Labor Day til Memorial Day, its only $5 per person for admission.  Those are my kind of prices.  ;)

 

 

 

 

Cooper and Tenley really enjoyed taking out ALL of her toys every chance they got.

 

 

Cooper enjoyed soccer.  He played for the rec department and was able to have about 4 practices.  All the other practices were canceled due to rain.

 

 

Our buddy Briggs came to spend some time with us.  These two are going to be trouble in the future!

On to Pre-K!

Cooper had a good year in preschool.  He was 8 days from the cut off for being eligible for preschool this year.   His birthday is September 7th and the cut off is age 4 by September 15th. 

After discussing with this teacher, Mrs. Honken, we decided it would be better for him to attend Pre-K this coming fall.   We didn't want him to graduate at 17 or to ever struggle in school because of his age. 

He was sad that school was over for the year.   Summer will go by quick and he will be back in school before he knows it!

 

 

Cooper had his preschool graduation tonight.  We were very lucky and had a lot of people there to cheer him on!

Sioux Falls Zoo

In our household, spring time means planting season.  Planting season means Daddy working 60+ hours a week.  We never know when he will be home at night or how long he will be working on Saturday. 

We decided that since it was nice out, we would head to Sioux Falls and go to the Zoo.   Both kids loved it!  

Dance Recital

Cooper's first dance recital was comical.   He was excited to dance on stage, but then just stood there and looked for us the entire time.  He stood on stage like he had binoculars on, looking for us.  The entire crowd was laughing.

He had two routines.  Both were tumbling.

Grandma Julie and Papa Skinny along with Grandma Grace and Aunt Dianne all came to watch him!  It was a great afternoon.

Cody + Lisa Matheus

Cooper's Godfather, Cody, got married this week.  Brad was asked to be a groomsman and Cooper was his ring bearer.  For the wedding being in early May and it was an outdoor wedding, the weather was perfect.   The wedding was at a beautiful Thumper Pond golf course in Ottertail, MN. 

It was an amazing time!  The weather was perfect, the food was amazing and the company was the best part.  :)
