Gavins new sounds

I finally was able to get some of Gavin's ramblings on video, he always knows when the camera is out and won't play along. Tonight however he was occupied by all the birds outside and was telling me all about them. He is so much fun and is really starting to understand things and comprehend what we are telling him, it's so funny to be able to tell the wheels are turning up there. Every day is a new adventure with him and though he is VERY busy......we are loving every minute!

and more........

Today was the last day for Gracie girl and I wanted to compare her pictures from the beginning of the year to today......there are about 4 teeth, lot's of freckles, a few inches, and a ton of my gray hairs between here......

and here............you can tell just by the way she is posing.

But that sweet face is still the same. :)

Here she is with Mrs.Stamey......what a great teacher.

Summer send off..........

Grace had her summer send off party for school last night and had a great time. It was a luau theme with treats and games and music all provided by Geneva school so the kids could just go crazy, the only night where they can have 3 popsicles and popcorn for dinner. ;) Haylee was keeping up with them all for the first time and I think it was our first time realizing that this will be "both" of them next year participating as students. (sniff sniff) Hard to believe.


They did the limbo.

Got a new tattoo.

And of course this little guy was grinning to the crowd and waving the whole time! :)


Thursday is the last day for this 1st grader and we are so proud of the year she has had and how far she has come. She brought home her journals from the year and it's neat to be able to read through them and see what a difference a year can make. She had a FABULOUS teacher this year as well and Grace is sad about having to be done in her class. :( I remember having those same feelings about some of my teachers.
So until next year........it's "goodbye" school,

and "hello" summer!

Fun weekends

These are just a few fun pictures from our weekend. We had beautiful weather and got out to enjoy it. Our friends have a boat that we spent some time on and then we spent the day rooting their boys on for their last baseball games of the season. They won the tournament so it was an exciting day to be there for. Funny how I managed to get no baseball shots though.....hmmm

Just cute boys in baseball HATS! Daddys surprise after the mariners game. ;)

Nicole and me

We had everyone over for a bbq at our house and it ended up being a "shave your head" party apparently.
