Last Day of 1st Grade

Charlie is ready for summer fun but he said he'll miss his teacher.  He was very lucky to have Mrs. Carlson this year.

Planting the Garden

Rosemary, the kids and I planted the garden on Sunday. Looking forward to picking broccoli, kohlrabi, beans, peppers, jalapenos, zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers, watermelon, pumpkins and LOTS of tomatoes!

Playing by the creek

Picking lilacs

Recital

Our little dancer did great! She had a ballet and a tap routine and did a proud bow at the end.

Getting ready- a little blush and lipstick

Claire asked if there would be bugs at the recital when I was using hair spray at home.  She's a camper at heart :)

Last Day of Preschool

Claire finished preschool at RCLS today.  Growing up too fast!

Claire loved Mrs. Tjossas

Charlie's Track and Field Day

Nick went for the afternoon and I stopped out for the last event.  

Charlie got 7 blues, 4 reds and 0 yellows ("Mom, I didn't get any yellows because those are the worst.")

Memorial Weekend

Charlie's 1st grade passion project came to life!  The guys worked hard all weekend and almost got it completely done.  The kids talked about adding some solar lights, a zipline and a tire swing.  Charlie cleared out lots of trees and weeds to make it nice, too.

It was a hot one so we found ways to cool off.

 Claire is all about getting rides on anything.  Here she is getting a ride from Caden.

Weekend

Charlie's teacher, Mrs. Carlson, came to his game just in time to see him score.  She is the best!

Claire completed another year of dance.  She's excited for her recital in a couple weeks.

Field Trip

I took the day off to go on a field trip with Claire and the RCLS preschool classes.  We went to the library for storytime and then to Silver Lake Park for a picnic lunch and some time to play.
