Backyard water fun!

We watched Landen one day so we decided to have a water day. We got a new "suped up" slip and slide, water guns, picnic table and food!

It was a lot of fun and the kids spent ALL day out side with barley any complaints. It was nice!

Random fun

Mike was working at the Fire Station at Willams Gateway Airport so I took the kids to visit. While we were there we got to ride in the AARF truck (the one that goes to the rescue of the airplanes) and get a tour of the airport. The kids got to "fire" the water from the front of the truck. They said it's like playing a video game!

Carlee's 1st Dance Recital

Carlee had her first dance recital in May. We had a day of dress rehearsal and then the "real thing". She did really well and even helped the other girls remember the right steps. She's a natural and loves it! We are so proud of her! GO CARLEE!

Memorial Day Fun

We had a BBQ at our house for Memorial Day. It was fun. We broke out the bouncy for the kids and they had a blast! They all slept really well that night too!

Logan's Last day of 1st Grade

My how time flies! Logan will be in 2nd grade next year...CRAZY! He celebrated his last day of school with an ice cream party, shirt signing and games. Even Carlee got to come and participate. Logan had a wonderful teacher and she'll be very missed next year. She had to change schools for next year due to budget cuts. The kids all pitched in and got Mrs. Jameson a silver bracelette engraved with all of their names on it, the school year and school name. She was very surprised and got a little emotional that they all thought so highly of her to do that. Logan will have a lot of his friends in his class next year and he'll get to help his little sister around and "show her the ropes". It will be NICE (and a little sad, they're growing up so fast) to have both of them in ALL DAY school next year. Oh, don't worry about me...I'm sure I can find something to occupy all my free time! Actually, I don't think I'll know what to do with myself! :-)

Carlee's last day of Pre-K

Carlee celebrated her last day of Pre-K on May 15th. She had a great time singing, playing and having "snacks" that day. It's always fun to volunteer in the kids classrooms. Carlee is VERY much looking forward to Kindergarten. She can't wait to "go to school" with Logan.

Mother's Day

We celebrated Mother's day twice this year. Mike had to work on Mother's Day so I celebrated with my family that day. We celebrated with his family on Saturday, the day before. The kids got a little silly while we were together with Mike's family, as you can see from the pictures. Our niece, Sara, is still trying to grasp the concept of keeping her hands under her head to help support herself. My mom got 2 Massage gift certificates this year and is very excited to cash them in! I was able to go and get a pedicure and a massage as well for part of my gifts.

I have to say Mother's Day was not an ideal day for me though. Mike was at work, I had to clean the house to prepare for my family coming over. Logan was VERY ill and I ended up taking him to Urgent Care, after cooking dinner for my whole family!

All I have to say is...next year better ROCK, I earned it after this year!
