It's the little moments that make life big.

May came and went so fast. Most of my weekends were occupied with Sidney playing volleyball, but we were still able to have some other fun too. The weather was not our typical May weather this year. Not enough sunshine! We got a few nice days and tried to make the best of those.
Chase and I went to visit Grammy and Papa Fluke and made a trip to Cabella's. It was like an indoor zoo for Chase, except the animals weren't breathing. He had fun looking at all the animals and fish, running in and out of tents, seeing the big tractor out front and meeting Smokey the Bear! Got some great pics and enjoyed watching Chase react to everything around us.
I had a nice Mother's Day. Grammy Fluke came up Friday before Mother's Day and hung out with us. She was able to watch Sidney's volleyball game on Saturday with us before going home. Unfortunately, my dad wasn't feeling well, so my mom and dad did not end up coming to visit as originally planned. Sidney and Chase gave me a cute card and some beautiful flowers, my favorite...orchids! I also had the nice surprise of getting a gift card for a facial. I always wanted to get one but never have before, now I know how great it is...I want to go more often. Maybe I can get one on my birthday too.
We had our ultrasound and found out we are having a baby girl! Sidney and I were very excited and had to celebrate by buying some clothes for our new little girl. Eli wasn't expecting to hear that news, but he's gotten used to the idea and is already acting like a nervous dad thinking about when his little girl grows up...talking about locking her up until she's 35 and all that nonsense. It's somewhat comical. We are all excited.
Sidney got one weekend off from volleyball, they had a bye that weekend...so, as she was promised for her birthday in March, I planned a road trip to take her and a friend over to Forks and LaPush to do the Twilight thing. Luckily, I was able to convince my mom to come with me. We drove just a bit south of our home to catch the ferry that put us into Kingston and drove over to Port Angeles to stop at a couple of the Edward and Bella spots and ate lunch there before journeying on to Forks. We hit up all the Forks points of interest per the Twilight books and then stayed in a room called the 'Bella Suite.' It was really neat for the girls and my mom and I both enjoyed watching them bask in it all. They delivered sparkling cider and some champagne glasses to our room so we could have a toast and then watch our Twilight movies before calling it a night. The next day, we drove to La Push and checked out the Jacob and Bella spots. It was a good time. A nice girls weekend. Great pics and memories.
We spent Memorial Day weekend at home, decided to not mess with the traffic. Sidney got away with a friend to go camping out towards Chelan and luckily got some nice weather over there.
Ok, I think that sums up May...
