April

I pondered why our Easter pictures always end up being a big fail

I actually shared (didn't want to give out this secret) my go-to bring a side dish recipe of the best broccoli salad ever!

I failed as a parent when I forgot to pick Lucas up from school.

Started (and sort of succeeded) at a new tradition of celebrating half birthday's with half a cake.

I talked about finding peace in times of tragedy after the Boston Marathon bombing.

Lucas finally caught the book-worm-bug!

And we had the Kindy-500

May

My oldest two finally learned how to tie their shoes

Got to see my bestie at a FREE yummy dinner for bloggers and tried Marie Callender's new menu

I got a little political talking about the new age regulations of the morning after pill

Celebrated Mother's Day!

Ryder turned 3!

Lucas' car did awesome at the PineWood derby

Attended the Elevate Blogging Conference

And Our summer officially began!

June

I had a week of great guest posts while I was away on vacation (which I didn't blog about until the following month)

Began potty training Ryder for the first time (which really finally successfully happened in November!)

Shared some serious newborn cuteness with a newborn shoot I did

Had a major half birthday fail

Celebrated Father's day and a Wedding Anniversary that landed on the same day this year

And told you how a towel could have ended my marriage.

It was a good three months without any major sickness or craziness.  Made me almost wish it was summer break again (especially when it is homework time).

What was the favorite thing you did this summer?

Now link up below, remember if you haven't recapped yet you still can.  You will have through next Wednesday to link up with week 2.
