May 1: A Picnic with Friends
These three M's have been friends since they were babies. How fun to see them romping around, playing, laughing, teasing...all the things friends do.
May 2: Strange Foods
I'm not really craving anything too odd, but things just sound really delicious to me. I'm completely in love with toasted bagels and flavored cream cheese. This morning it was pineapple cream cheese. Some days, strawberry. Some days, regular cream cheese and salsa.May 3: Ice Cream Sundae
M LOVES ice cream sundaes. She helped me concoct exactly what she wanted, which included sprinkles, of course. May 4: Busted Through
When I picked M up from H's office, he laughingly pointed out her old tennis shoe. I knew it was getting a little small, but I had no idea her toe was about to bust a hole through!! New tennis shoes were needed ASAP. We went on a search and found cute white tennis shoes with laces at a very reasonable price. May 5: Missing in Action
I have no idea what happened on May 5th...perhaps pregnancy brain??
May 6: 12 Week Appointment
The whole Benson family went for the 12 week appointment just to make sure all was well with Baby Handsome. "His" heartbeat was incredible and we had a great visit! This is one of the doctors I'll see during my pregnancy. He offered to take a picture of my cervix for Project Life. I politely declined. May 7: Annie
We happen to know and love one of the actors in this picture. M wasn't feeling very good, but we were able to go for an hour to see his play. We loved every minute of it.

One of the youth fundraisers was a car wash. Kids of all ages had a great time. Everyone is so sweet to M. She enjoyed washing the cars, but really enjoyed getting wet.

May 9: Happy Mother's Day!
Maybe my favorite picture EVER!! Being a mom is my favorite job in the whole world. I'd give up everything else to spend more time with this precious girl.

This is not a new hat in our house, but M has discovered it and is having a love affair with it. She wears it all the time! 
I was arrested to the MDA today and taken to "jail," which actually was a very nice place with delicious food. I raised over $500 to help local families who live with some type of MD diagnosis. 
M and I went to visit my parents for the weekend. I didn't take a picture Sunday, so I'll use both of these. We had such an incredible time, relaxing and playing. M loved spending time with her cousin, who is almost 2.

May 13: My Class Picture
For obvious reasons, I'm not going to post my class picture here, but it will go in my album.
May 14: Spring Fling
A parent sent me the cutest picture of her little boy and M at Spring Fling. I'll put it in the album.
May 15: Backyard Paradise

May 17: Bathtime Pedicure
M loves to give herself a pedicure in the bathtub.
May 18: Driving Practice
As soon as we turn into our neighborhood, M asks us to let her help drive. In the van, that means hanging her head out of the window and waving if we see anyone. I think she actually helps H drive in his car. I've never actually seen that happen. 
We helped host a birthday party for one of my sweetest friends who turned 60. We all dressed up in our formal attire and played casino games. It was a blast!

A picture of some of the girls at a local restaurant.
May 20 and 21: End of the year brain...nothing. These were two of the most exhausting days of my life. I'll journal about them without a picture.
May 22: Happy 60th Birthday!

Exhausted after 3 hours at the pool! We had such a great time. We can't wait for next weekend when the pool opens for the entire summer. This year, we'll spend lots of time at the pool, cooling off and spending time with friends.
May 24: Outside Fun
In my attempt at cutting down on our television watching, I've instituted "outside" time. We did pretty good today...we stayed outside for over an hour, drawing on the driveway and playing on the tree house. We'll see how we do the rest of the summer.

thanks for visiting my blog and for the advise on my big pile of magazines. I think the best thing to do is save what I want out of them and donate the rest. You have some great pictures here lots of fun ones. It is hard to keep up with project life sometimes but having this blog is helping me. Congratulations on your pregnancy, hope all goes well.
