Cheers to the Weekend, So Long May Edition

If you know me, you know I love to write. This lil' space right here is one of my happy places. :) But May wins again. I needed a(nother) little blog break to get things done, and honestly, to get my head right with some *stuff*, BUT I do want to get in a post or two where I can for memory's sake. I was also having some tech issues, but those have now been resolved; so, off we go for one last MASSIVE May post. #sorryboutthat

So, for anyone who remotely cares ;), a look at what we're saying CHEERS to as we round the corner to close out the 2018-19 school year and bid May farewell: 

Memorial Day Memories. Over the long weekend, my Lu Crew and two families we loved traveled to the beach for the fourth time in as many years for Memorial Day. This year, though, we ventured to Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, and ohmygoodness, we LOVED it. So much so that we have already booked the same house for the same week next year. A quick photo dump sharing our fun times and memories made:

Pool Partay. We made it back in time on Monday to hit up my favorite pool party of the summer! It was an absolute blast with a huge turnout, and we loved catching up with so many neighbors we love!

All-Star Baseball. We are so excited for our Banks who made our town's kid-pitch All-Star team! This means three-times-weekly practices have begun! He is playing most first base, with a little pitching action, too, has several good buddies on the team, and he is SO PUMPED to have the opportunity to extend his baseball season. This kid eats, sleeps, and breathes sports, and we love cheering him on! 

Harrison's last game. Speaking of ball, Harrison had his last teeball game a couple weeks ago in the scathing hot sun. This kid seems to be following in his big bro's footsteps and is developing into quite the sports enthusiast. And he LOVED that his coach surprised the team with medals and water balloons to close out their sweet season. 

Raleigh's dance recital. AND speaking of closing out seasons, Raleigh had her dance recital that same weekend. Her Bammy and Digby were able to join us for the big show, and y'all, she did so great! We scored front row seats and she just locked eyes with her tear-filled momma and rocked that stage. I was SO proud of her. <3

Doc appointments. We've knocked out several appointments for Bella over the last couple weeks, including audiology, orthotics, and her 4-year well-check. This girl is such a rockstar and handles it all with such a sweet attitude. That's not to say she hasn't been getting some MAJOR 'tude lately: our new 4-year-old has discovered hitting and tantrumming, so lots of good times happening in the Lu Crew house, I tell ya. :/ ;) Harrison also had his 5-year well-check and got a great, healthy report. Yay, buddy!

EOY parties. Banks and Raleigh are thrilled for the fun coming their way at school the next few days: from Field Day today to end-of-year parties next week, they are ready for some fun with their teachers and friends. Meanwhile, Harrison and I attended a special EOY party for Bellaboo yesterday, who now only has one super fun school water day next week that stands between her and summer. We loved celebrating our girl and her classmates (and seeing her rock her new CHEEEEEEEEESE face). Ha!

And that's that for now! We have big ol' fun plans this weekend: Raleigh and I will be hitting up the pool earrrrrrly tomorrow morning for our swim team's Mock Meet. Then, we'll head straight to Clemson, where my hub and our other three will have arrived that morning. Banks is participating in the Dabo Sweeney Football Camp for the second year (he is so excited!), and the rest of us have decided to tag along for some Clemson fun! Then, it'll be back home to finally close out the school year. Summer, we see you just over the horizon, and we're coming for you! Have a wild and crazy weekend, y'all! :)
