Sometimes life just flies by so fast that I swear if I didn’t take pictures I would forget it happened.  Maybe I dreamt it.  Have you ever felt like that?? Well, that is how my month of May was. I say that in the most loving and positive way possible!

Actually it started in April when I went on a little trip to NEW YORK CITY with Savana and the music department at Waterford HS.  What a trip it was! Here are just a few pics of some of the great moments we shared!

My most treasured moment was seeing Wicked on Broadway with my girl right next to me.  Best Mother/ Daughter moment ever!!

We had a great time and many stories will be shared in the scrapbooks. As soon as I stop having flashbacks! LOL! A few short days after we returned, we were off to State Competition for Solo and Ensemble.

Savana also did a solo and received a rating of 1 which is the best you can get! She sang a classical song in Italian.

Then we were off to my cousin’s wedding dinner/reception in Oshkosh.  It was so beautiful and was a fun break.

We stayed over night and left early in the morning so we could get back in time for Savana’s 2 Spring Concert performances.  She sang a great Broadway piece, “100 Easy Ways to Lose a Man.”

In between performances was the Awards Banquet.

I was also named Choir Parents Association President.  Oh boy!

THEN…. the very next day Savana turned 16 and it was Cinco De Mayo.  What a fun day to celebrate! Since everyone else was.  We went to El Beso’s for Mexican food of course.

We were also having fun watching Sofie playing soccer with the Yellow Pirates of the Waterford Recreation Department.  The coaches have been great with her.  One year ago at her IEP we all decided a group sport like this would be almost impossible for her. Guess she proved us all wrong!  She always does!!

Next it was Mother’s Day! I got a big girl camera and enjoyed a wonderful homemade breakfast.  Eggs Benedict tradition lives on! Then it was on to my Mom’s. Scott cooked a wonderful meal on the grill and we got to see my grandma, “Ma”, in the yellow. Can you believe she is 94 years old???

Oh! and I made a really fun pop up card for my Mom. She loved it! I am hoping to teach a class on it this summer. It was simply too much fun to make (once I figured it out of course)!

Then is was Sofie’s turn to perform! Concert day and night at Evergreen!

Later that week I hosted a group of fifth graders for a special birthday party at my Cottage. It was so fun. It happens so fast I rarely get pictures.  Weird I know. Here is the banner the birthday girl’s mother ordered.

On the same day Savana went to prom for her first time.  A friend of hers who is a Senior invited her to go and they had a blast.

Next Day was my Godson’s Mommy’s Baby Shower.

The best part of the shower is when I was interrogated on why I didn’t plan a birthday party for Savana’s Sweet 16.  So, we did. Right then and there we planned a surprise party that would happen in one week from the day! I Thank GOD my best friend, Trudy, was coming to visit that weekend.  She was a HUGE help and gave me lots of moral support too We went with a Luau theme. I will post more about that in the near future. So Fun!!!

Then the final weekend of May we ended up going to Minnesota to see our good friends.  It was such a nice break and we had a great time! More on that to come as well.  Now it’s on to the end of school and bring on SUMMER!  I hope you had a great May. I really do welcome and embrace these busier times. I know they won’t last forever. Well, they will once I get them in a scrapbook.

Until Next Time-

Capture Life!
