Happy Memorial Day!

@ the Parade

The kids had a lemonade stand.  It was a lot of work with a little pay off.  They are already talking about improvements for next year.

New Rooms

Ethan's Room

Roman's Room

The baby &

Kate's Room

We had to rearrange all the bedrooms to make way for the baby.  This worked out great!  Ethan and Roman were ready for their own space, while Kate is ecstatic about rooming with the baby.  So glad to have all this done with some time to spare!!

Kate's Preschool Graduation

My sweet Kate... I cannot believe that she has graduated preschool.

Getting her diploma - She was SO NERVOUS!

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Hoffman

Saying goodbye to Miss Tammy

Katelynn is not part of Kate's preschool class, she is in Kindergarten - still she is Kate's favorite!

Saying goodbye to Payton and Katelynn

This was a bittersweet day for Kate.  She was so sad to say goodbye to her friends and teachers.  She had to hold back tears several times.  She did an awesome job with the ceremony, especially the songs!  On a side note, I have never seen her so nervous!  On to bigger and better things - Kindergarten, look out!

7-5 Win!

Ethan had an awesome game.  He pitched 5 innings with very few getting on base.  He had 3 innings with no one on base.  He was the first to get a game ball on his team.  Way to go Ethan!!!

Ethan and Kate

Oh how they love this ride.  Sadly, I am not sure the neighbors feel the same way ... though I am sure this is less annoying than the dogs!

Kate's Gymnastics Recital

Kate was so excited!

They danced to "All the Single Ladies." Kate loved this part and was not shy at all!

School Carnival

Kate with her crazy hair, fishing, of course.

I didn't get a picture of Ethan or Roman because they were too busy running around ... in fact, I only saw them for brief moments when they needed additional funds.

Bye, Bye, Braces!

At least for a while!  Ethan has been filling up on Twix bars to make up for lost time!  It took me so long to get use to him wearing braces, not I have to get use to him with out them...

Priceless...
