May

I can't believe it's already June! I'm wondering what happened to May but remembering back, it was a pretty eventful month. This would also be my excuse for not keeping up on our blog the entire month. So here's a quick recap of the Sutko's May...
We kicked off the month with Nick and I running our 1st 1/2 marathon. We did it in Lincoln and could not of had a better experience. The day was beautiful, the course was flat, and the entire 13 miles were lined with people cheering us on. And yes we did survive it with a grand finish on the Husker 50 yard line!

Kansas City had some pretty nice weather in May and this was when we quickly learned that Grant could spend everyday-all day outdoors. He loves being outside and is constantly bringing us he shoes (which means I want to go outside). So we spent a lot of time at the park, where we did a lot of swinging and going down slides. Grant is a big fan of going head first down the slides. We also went for a lot of walks/runs, rode tricycles, had picnics, and played ball.

We did get hit with about a week straight of rain and then we were thankful that we had found this train table steal on Craig's list. Grant loves running his trains and cars all over the table...and has found it's even more fun to get up on the table. Nick and I put a great track together, only to have that destroyed in about 5 min by Grant the next morning...I think the tracks may be more fun for him at a later age :)

We've also been brushing our teeth a lot. Grant has decided that brushing his teeth is one of his favorite things to do. Or maybe I should say sitting in the sink sucking all the toothpaste and water out of his brush is a favorite thing to do.

The end of the month brought a surprise 60th birthday for my mom. We pulled off the surprise and my mom's excitement to see all the grandkids come running out yelling "Happy Birthday" was priceless.

The day after the party we left Grant to spend a fun weekend with his Mimi and Papa while Nick and I took off for our first weekend getaway. We headed out to Boulder for the Bolder Boulder race and a fun Memorial weekend. It was very relaxing and nice to finish a meal, sleep in, and just do as we wish. It also made it easy for us to enjoy knowing Grant was having a blast in Kearney. I don't even think he noticed when we left Saturday he was so excited to enjoy everything my Mom and Dad had set up and planned for him.
May was a nice kickoff to our summer and only has us looking forward to what the rest of the summer has in store! Hope you are all enjoying your start to summer as well!
