Mother's Day MayFaire

I love Mother's Day! This is the day my entire family goes to the art festival in Lakeland called the MayFaire. This has been a family tradition for many years now. It is always a deadly hot day but we forget that every year until we go again. I have collected many art pieces from the MayFaire. Next time you are at my house look around and view them. Many artist come back to the MayFaire year after year. My boys were able to see a few of the art pieces we have around the house displayed at different artists booths. Evan and Trey enjoyed having art appreciation conversations with Aunt Leslie.





















One of the areas at the MayFaire is the children's art tent. There are about four different art stations set up for the children to create masterpieces.

















There was plenty of rest and snack time along the way. That is a bonus of attending the art show......kettle corn, "real" lemonade, ice treats and more!
















After walking around the art show we relaxed in the shade by the library and listened to some live musical entertainment.



















The boys got plenty of attention and love by family members.

















Oh and last but certainly not least....Leslie got to enjoy the wonderful amenities the art show provides for free........port-a-potties!

BlueBerry Picking

On Wednesday Zane and I went blueberry picking with my moms group. My friend Kandee's uncle has a blueberry farm. I have never picked blueberries before. It was a lot of fun. Zane and his friends seemed to enjoy the morning.





















It's tiring eating all those blueberries!

Disney With Friends

Friday was a day off from school for the boys. So we decided to venture to Disney without daddy. A friend of ours decided she would help us brave the Magic Kingdom land. The park was not crowded at all. It was a fun day.




















Evan is the last kid on the end in a blue shirt!

Gymnastics Boy

Trey had a gymnastics meet on Saturday afternoon. He loves gymnastics. He loves to jump, bounce and flip over things.

Ride Daddy Ride!

Once again it was a busy weekend for the Hydock clan. I want to give each event it's due space time on my blog so I will trek backwards for the next couple of days and give an account of the weekend events.



Today we skipped church(I know very bad....slap my hand) to see DH finish a bike race. DH has been riding in events for a few months and the boys and I have yet to see him ride. Since we were free and clear of church volunteering today I thought this was a good opportunity. The ride(not a race!) was in Venice at Sharky's On The Pier. The ride was called "Ride The Beaches Fun Ride" with proceeds to go to Livestrong - The Lance Armstrong Foundation. DH got up very early and headed out before us. The boys and I followed along at a more decent hour and waited for daddy to finish.




Venice Beach was beautiful. I have never been there before. We walked on the fishing pier. The smell of the ocean along with fishing and such brought back many fond memories of my childhood in Fort Pierce with my grandparents. The Pier at Venice Beach














The boys played on the beach. Evan ventured in the water.



















Trey was happpy to be a sideline observer.


















Zane was eager for the water but hesitant to actually go in.

Baby Love

This is what I did today.





I got to hold my princess Bella and love on her while she napped on my chest. OHHHH...how sweet for me. Now do not get the wrong idea that I am wanting another baby. I have enough kiddies thank you very much. But it was really nice to love on a baby and snuggle with her.

And I get to do it all over again tomorrow with an even newer newborn. Friends of DH and mine just had a baby boy on Tuesday night. We are going to visit them at the hospital tomorrow morning. I am in baby heaven this week.




And what did Zane do while his mommy was holding the princess. He had a few curious and jealous moments. But for the most part he played with his friends.

Trey On the Move

Today was a busy day for the middle Hydock boy. The day started off with Trey having kindergarten roundup at his soon to be elementary school. Trey is NOT a happy camper about his new school. Evan on the other hand is ecstatic Trey will be at the school next year. We even saw Evan walking the halls at school today but Trey just hid from him. Poor guy......he better get over it because he IS going to kindergarten August 18, 2008!!

After the kindergarten roundup we had to hurry across town to Dinosaur World!! Trey and his preschool classmates had a last field trip. Hurray for us. It was a fun day with friends.

















HELP THIS WOMAN!!!
This is my friend(Amy for all that are unsure....her blog is to the right.....not that she updates it regularly...but I digress). If you know her then please help her. This is a picture of her smoking her last cigarette. Shocking to some...I know! But please oh please support her in this journey to pink lungs. Call her periodically and ask how it is going. Email her a hug. Give her tips on how to stay committed to a smoke free life. For goodness sake....just look at this pitiful picture and commend her for a smart decision....PLEASE!!



UPDATE:
Six hours and it all came crashing down. Let's hope for another time and day. We are not giving up on you girl!
