My kids are so adorable!!!!!
Mike and Aiden looking incredibly handsome!
On May 16th Mike officially graduated with his PhD in Bio Physics. He technically finished in December, but walked the line with the rest of the PhD grads in May. He makes one good looking doc!
He kept teasing me that he wanted to put his hood on.
Silly picture with the kids (yes, they're wearing coats in the middle of May. Welcome to Wisconsin).
This is a recreation of a picture from his under-grad graduation. :)
Here's his undergrad picture for a reference:
He spent many an hour here
Look, pretty flowers (ok maybe I made him take too many pictures...).
He said he felt like a wizard with the robe on... :)
"Oh dad..."
She is definitely his daughter!
Here's Mike with his mentor, Neil (there in the middle with him), as well as two other students in the same lab who were graduating with Mike.
Olivia and I went to the graduation luncheon with Mike.
Here's another shot of Neil with Mike.
A friend brought the kids for the actual graduation ceremony. :)
Aiden wasn't interested in smiling for a picture.
Man, my family is so good looking!
Esther took this picture of us. Ha ha ha!
Yes, I kept the kids entertained for the 2 hour ceremony with electronics. The graduation ceremony also included all the MDs who graduation from MCW. That'll be Mike next year! :D
May was also my birthday month, but apparently we didn't take any pictures. Mike and I went on a date and ate good food. :)
We regularly have dance parties with the kids, and on this day, Aiden wanted to do a STAR WARS dance party. We pulled out our Halloween costumes from last year and danced! Here's Livvy being the most adorable Jedi in existence!
Aiden found Mike's old paintball mask and decided it was Darth Vader's mask.
This was the ballet dance party. Esther was tickled pink that Olivia had a purple tutu like her. She loves matching her little sister! :)
Esther took this picture of me with Livvy. :)
Mike has no idea how good looking he is in this next picture that Esther took.
Esther took this picture of me with some mother's day flowers.
Another picture from Esther. :)
At the end of May I did the Color Run 5k. It was so stinking fun and it felt great to be running again! I didn't run the whole thing, but I didn't care. :)
Of course Livvy decided she was starving right before the race started...
Aiden looking cool in his glasses.
Right before the race with one of my biggest motivators. :)
Esther looking absolutely beautiful...
Esther took this picture of Mike and Aiden.
Me right after the purple station.
About to finish...
Whoot whoot! I did it! :)
I am MAMA hear me ROAR!!! :)
Having fun with the color!
Livvy was such a good sport. :)
Esther and I had green hands for a couple days...
For memorial Day we went to Fred's pool. Livvy actually loved the water. :)
She chilled like this for almost an hour. :)
Esther is getting so good at swimming.
Livvy is a super chunk and barely fit in her 9-12 month swimsuit.
Aiden randomly asked for his picture to be taken. :)
Esther and Livvy looking adorable in matching outfits!
Esther gave me this card randomly one day. I asked Mike if he had prompted her to do it and he said she did it all of her own initiative, and even spelled it herself. I'm so blessed! :)
