Spring Dance Recital

Last night Elyse had her spring dance recital. She did FABULOUS!  She performed a ballet, tap and jazz routine.  Jazz was by far her favorite, and it was evident as she was right-on for everything.  So proud of you, Elyse!

Just for fun...the parent dance that Nate and Elyse danced together.  (They are in the back row behind the girl in the pink pants and her mom.)

Summer Kick-off Party

Today the boys and I were invited to a "Summer Kick-off Party" at one of our friend's house.  The party was for kids (and their families) who graduated kindergarten and preschool.  There was water activities, outdoor games, delicious food, cake and the best surprise, the inflatable.  None of the kiddos wanted the party to end so us moms were forced into committing to do more of these throughout the summer, ha!  

(Unfortunately I did not capture pictures nor did the boys want to take their picture because we were having too much fun.)

Sprinkler Fun

With temps in the 80's and humid it was only appropriate to hook up the sprinkler.  It was so much fun to watch all four run in and out of it for over an hour.  Love summer like days!

Just Like Dad

This morning before church I asked Ian what shirt he wanted to wear between two.  He quickly grabbed the red one and said, "One with buttons like Dad."  PRICELESS and my heart melted!

Kallen's Last Day of Preschool

Today Kallen had his last day of preschool like Caleb had on Wednesday.  His day was not quite as emotional since he will be returning in the fall to the class Caleb just finished.  His day consisted of mostly just play, followed by handing out the certificates and giving goodbye hugs.  He loved school this year and I hope that passion he has continues throughout his schooling years!

Caleb's Preschool Graduation

Caleb graduated from preschool today and officially will be in kindergarten in the fall, Crazy?! His last day was a short one that concluded with chapel (singing, watching a puppet show and prayer); following that we sat in the classroom to watch his teacher read her last story to them and then bitter-sweetly hand out their graduation certificates.

Congratulations, Caleb!  We are so proud of you.

 His AMAZING teachers, Mrs. Guenther and Mrs. Johnson

Grandparents Visit

Our Friday evening and Saturday was full of play and fun.  Grandpa and Grandma came up from Iowa to spend the weekend with us.  Unfortunately the weather was frigid for May so we spent our time indoor playing games, talking, and watching movies together; and since their trip was so quick it was a perfect way to spend the day.

Special thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for coming up.  Hopefully it won't be another six months before we get to see you both again.  Love and big hugs!
