Let the water balloon toss begin!!! The kids had a blast with all the cousins. They got soaked, except for Ryan. He and Brandon did a great job of throwing the balloons and catching them. They threw them the farthest! We had our monthly FHE at my sister Julie's. We also celebrated Todd and my brother Jeff's b-day(Happy Birthday!). It was fun having my oldest brothers family here from AZ. Ryan was so happy to have boys his age here. Thanks for a fun evening!!
"Dad Rocks!"
"Best Dad!"
Happy Father's Day and Birthday today, Todd!! It's not fair to have 2 things on the same day, not as much celebration. Hopefully we made him feel extra special. The kids made him some things at school, so we hid them until now. He also got a new road bicycle and book ends(airplane). We went to his parents and ate dinner and celebrated both Todd and Tracy's b-days. Happy Father's day to all the wonderful men in our lives!!!
We went to the Sacramento Zoo today with my sister in law and her kids. They all had a great time!! We even got to see the baby Sumatran tiger, named Jingga. She was born on March 18th and this was her first day out in public. We were so excited to experience that, what a neat surprise! The flamingo were mating, so they had tall boards covering them, but we could peek through small holes. The females were making big mounds of dirt for their nests. The weather was beautiful! We got to talk to a parrot, he was so smart. They had zoo workers painting pictures of animals on the kids hands, they turned out good! Then we went to the park next to the zoo and ate lunch, it was such a nice day! Thanks for taking pictures, Kristen.(my battery was dead)
Brittney's softball team had a BBQ and swim party. The kids had so much fun! Todd took them since I was gone in Tahoe. Good job on a great first year!!
It is so much fun to sneak up on the kids and snap a picture without them knowing. This is the first day of summer break the house was quiet and the kids were all playing great together. It's a nice surprise to see them ALL together and getting along! The girls usually do, but to get Ryan in the mix is even better. I am actually packing for a girls weekend in Tahoe. I hope they are good for Todd while I'm gone. I'm leaving later than I planned, I needed to see my doctor before I left, I am having some pain. All is well for now.
Well, the last day is finally here, we can't believe it! This year has flown by. Ryan is so excited about going on to Middle School!! Brittney is so sad to be leaving the BEST teacher ever, she did not want the year to end! Kimberly has mixed emotions about moving up to 1st grade. It will be a long day for her, but she is excited to eat lunch in MP room and play at the big playground. The Kindergartners sang a song for everyone at the assembly. Kimberly's class was in the back, so we couldn't see her. It was cute!
Happy Mother's Day out there to all the wonderful moms in my life! I had a very nice day. I received a beautiful plant and cards from my family. We bought some pretty flowers and pots for our moms and grandma. I enjoyed the song the kids sang at church, made me cry. We also had new ward boundaries done, so lots of new faces at church. It will be fun to get to know them all. After church we visited with our moms and grandma. We love you all!
Brittney is really enjoying her first year of Softball. She is a very athletic girl. She loves to play basketball, soccer, softball, swim, ski, run and almost anything. She is on the Pink Bubblegum team. She even gets to be catcher and does really good! I'm glad she is enjoying it! Way to go!
Our Girl Scout Troop went to the high school and watched the play "GREASE". It was so good!! There were a couple parts that were not appropriate for the little ones. It would have been a great Girls Night event. It was fun to watch it together. Kimberly got very tired at the end and laid on my lap.
Todd took Ryan & Brittney skiing again and Kimberly really wanted to go. So, they brought her snow again. The girls made tiny snowmen, too cute!! Kylee from next door just woke up from her nap and wanted to join in. Thanks daddy!
The girls had so much fun today, sharing their dolls with each other. Kimberly was extremely excited! She finally felt included. They all look so cute!
Todd took the girls to a Girl Scout, daddy daughter dance. The theme was luau, so they dressed up. They had a great time. Thanks for taking us!! They look so cute!
Brittney had some friends over for a birthday party. The girls got to paint their nails, they turned out cute! She LOVED her doll cake. I'm glad, because it was a lot of work! I ended up taking the dolls legs off so it would fit. Thanks for all the great gifts!
We had a fun night tonight!! Jeff & Kristen had us over for FHE with the cousins and we celebrated Brittney's b-day. Kristen had a fun scavenger hunt for the kids to go on at the end, they found treasure. Brittney loved all her gifts!! She can't wait to start drawing. Thank you everyone!
