T-ball

Emma had her first T-ball practice last night. Spencer has been working with her for the last couple of weeks. She did awesome! Her team is a little sad but oh well! She said that at first she didn't really know if she was going to like it. But once they actually started practicing she really got into it and I think she loved it. She is one of the older ones on her team so I think that helps her to do a little better. I am excited to see how much she improves over the next couple of months.

Last Day of Pre-K

This we Emma's last week of school. She had a great year and learned lots. She is already excited for Kindergarten!
To celebrate we went to the park with some friends to have a picnic and some yummy ice cream.
Emma, Aiden, Jakey, and Margie (Stella was there but she was off swinging)
Emma was also able to celebrate her birthday at school this week. She was beyond excited.

The morning of her school bday was woke up and yelled it's my birthday! And all day long she kept on saying it was her school bday. She wanted me to come when they ate her birthday cupcakes. Mrs. Sorey had her and the other two kids with summer birthdays come up and we sang to them all.

What a fun last week of school!

Swimming Swimming Swimming

So our favorite thing about our vacation....Grandpa's pool. We swam every day some times more then once. By the end, my kids were total fish! I was so impressed!

The very last day we busted out the volley ball net and had the best time ever!

Hole in the Rock

They took us up this little hike-which was just perfect for my wimpy kids :) But the hole in the rock at the top was awesome. Amber took some really cool pictures with her camera so when I get those I will post them.

Me and Emma at the start of the hike. When we rounded the corner and she saw we were not there yet she said she didn't know if could make it! But she was one of the first up there!

Aiden was the last up the hill. Every rock he saw he wanted to throw. It is the only place that I said it was ok to throw rocks so he took full advantage of ALL those rocks!

Train Station

On Tuesday we headed up to Scottsdale to a Train Station. They had some really cool trains out for the kids and us to look at.

Then we bought some tickets so that we could board the train and go for a ride.



Then we headed out to the wild west to play in the wagon and jail house.

And for the grand finale-the carosel ride...
What a fun day.

Hanging with Chad and Amber

We spent last week in Arizona visiting some of my family. It was the best! We started off at Chad and Amber's house, my dad was still on his cruise, and the kids loved every minute of playing with their cousins.

Sorry the pictures are a little out of order. I am posting on Spencer's computer and it is totally different then mine. So anyway...

On Monday, we went golfing at the park. This is my kids new favorite thing to do. They love hitting balls off of hills-they go even farther!

Sunday we were all super tired from getting in really late and waking up super early so that night we just vegged out on the beanbags.
During the day we played games and enjoyed the awesome AZ sun-I didn't miss the humidity at all(well, maybe a little)

Spencer hard at work

Warning! There is some blood in these pictures!! Just be glad I didn't post the ones of the guys face being lifted off. So gross!! Anyway, just wanted to show off pictures of my hubby elbow deep in his job. Doesn't he look good in blue?

Projects

My friend Kristen is having a girl and her shower was on Tuesday. She had posted what she wants her little girls room to look like and it is going to be so dang cute! She bought these super cute owl and tree sheets from pottery barn and is kinda going with that theme. She really wanted these owls from there but they were a little expensive. She mention trying to make them but I knew that with everything that is going on she would not have time. So for her shower, I made them for her. They turned out awesome! And she totally loved them.

Thanks Becca for the help with the fabrics!

And lastly, here is Aiden's "new" army bike. He loves it. To bad it has been super windy lately so he hasn't had much fun riding it yet. Soon I hope!!
