Graduation Girl

Still hard to believe that we don't have any preschool age kiddos anymore! Everyone will be in Elementary school in just a few months. Here are pics from Miss Brooklyn's graduation.

Thank you Miss Kami and Miss Donna for an AWESOME year

Father's Day

We had fun celebrating this weekend. Started celebrating Saturday at BJ's for dinner, pazookie's and of course Daddy's free Father's Day Mug. Sunday we woke up and headed out to the car show. This is the 2nd year we've gone, and it's always fun.

The kid's wanted to bring their cameras and take pics this year too.

We met a race car driver named Melanie! (photo courtesy of Dale Simmons Photography)

Got to sit in one of the police cruisers! Decided that it was better to be in the front then the back LOL

Saw some pretty cool cars!

Then we headed to Grammy and Grandpa's! Did not tell the boys to pose this way LOL

The kids were thrilled that Grandpa let them climb on the roof to get a ball!

Yet again another wonderful pose from the boys.

Played Grammy's white elephant gift exchange (the kids always look forward to this)

Topped it all with some cake and ice cream!

Had a great day celebrating the Dad's we love! The only thing that would have made it better was to have my Dad there!

Happy Father's Day!

1st week of summer

Random pics from our first week of summer! We've gone to this trail multiple times.

The girls love to ride on the trail and in the cul de sac. But Brandon would rather ride on the jumps that someone has built up there. This time he was mad because someone had built them up too high, so he decided to "fix" them. I'm sure the bigger kids will not appreciate all his hard work LOL

The light here is just GORGEOUS, so I never mind when the kids ask to go because I can play too. Melanie is usually willing to be my model!

Little B missed one trip to the trail because of this...

But she was back up and running for her preschool family potluck!
 This is what sugar does to my sweet innocent 7 year old boy!

We've visited the pool
and of course there has been plenty of time to help Dad with his chores!

So glad it's summer!

Harvest time...

Our beets and carrots were getting pretty big, so we decided it was time to harvest them. The kids had so much fun pulling them all up. Baxter kiddos were over, so we decided to have them pick some too. Kara didn't seem to care until we told her she needed to bring some carrots home to her bunny...then she was excited to pick a few. Of course nobody wanted to wash or eat them LOL But Brooklyn did ask for a carrot a bit later in the afternoon. Now I need to figure out how to pickle these beets for Brian. Can't wait for the tomatoes, because I will be picking those and making sandwiches right away!

I think Brooklyn got the dirtiest, but what else is new!

Caden didn't get to pick any veggies, but I think he had fun playing with Brandon!
