We had a very nice Memorial Day weekend with most of our family here and celebrated all our spring birthdays with our traditional favorite, ice cream cake. I didn’t know how I wanted to word the saying on the cake, so John took care of that for me.
I did all right posting about our family’s April birthdays, but haven’t honored the May and June people yet. First was my mom’s birthday on May 5th.
Mom and Leroy were here for the festivities on the Saturday before Memorial Day.
The next birthday was John’s on May 19th.
(I think he was just getting ready to blow out his candles when I took this picture.) After his birthday dinner, we went to Peyton’s preschool graduation. Six years ago, John almost got a very special birthday present. We spent that evening at the hospital waiting for Peyton to be born. I guess Peyton didn’t want to come on Grandpa’s birthday though, and waited three hours to be born on May 20th.
The next birthday to celebrate was Peyton’s sixth, on May 20th. 
His party was held the following Friday night in his backyard.
Jessica’s birthday came next, on May 27th.
Since her birthday usually takes place sometime around Memorial Day, we are used to celebrating it, along with Amy’s, on that holiday since Amy’s birthday is June 1st.
And that brings us up to date until a few days from now!
On May 29th, Jessica was honored with a bridal shower in Athens, held by her friends from church.
The next day, John and I went to Caity’s high school graduation party at Daba’s house. Bubba and Sayaka had a lot of fun with Maddy and Becca.
The next Thursday, we headed back to Toledo for Caity’s graduation!
Ever since I finished school/work for the year, Jessica and I have been immersed with wedding plans, getting invitations, and working on bridesmaids’ dresses and flower girls’ dresses. We also met Adam in Pittsburgh to buy a headboard and frame for their bed.
