Chet's kindergarten graduation!!

We loved going to Chet's kindergarten graduation!!  The class got up on a stage and showed us a little what they had learned this year...counting, the alphabet and letter sounds, days of the week and such! It was so fun to watch and be a part of! All the while I was watching Chet with a huge smile on my face...I am so proud of him, and tears in my eyes! He is growing up so fast! It has been so neat to see him grow and mature this year! Chet is so wonderful! We love him SO much!!!!

Sporting their cute graduation caps! Chet, Gavin, and Miah

Chet's fan club!
 

 

 

Gavin (one of Chet's classmates), Miss Thompson, and Chet! We loved Miss Thompson as Chet's kindergarten teacher!! She had so much energy, and enthusiasm for teaching kindergarteners! We will miss her, as she's not teaching at Hawthorne next year!

Mrs. Hummer, the teacher's aid! It was sooo fun to be able to volunteer in Chet's classroom, and get to know the kids, and the teachers! I loved it so much!!

Best buddies! (Gavin's mom works for Will and Ryan..) And Gavin is really tall for his age, and Chet really short! But Chet makes up for it in personality! =D

 

Growing up! First grade, here he comes!!

The three amigos!

Three cuties! And best buds! It makes my heart glad to see how much they love each other! =)

 

 

Happy, happy birthday to Reid!!

Reid turned TWO on Saturday, June 2nd!!!  We had so much fun celebrating his birthday with a fun fire truck cake!  Reid loves fire trucks, and vehicles!  Reid is so much fun, and such a cute little boy!!  He is full of energy, and smiles and laughs! We love him SO much!!

Showing that he is TWO!!

It's so fun celebrating with cousins!

Watching the fire truck put out the birthday sparkler!

Lily and Tia had fun watching the excitement together!

The Strawberry Parade!

Reid had quite the birthday!  There was the Strawberry Parade, and even fireworks at the end of the day...just for him! ;D  What a lucky duck!

 We had so much fun going to the annual Strawberry parade in Lebanon! Reid loved waving to everyone in the parade!  Parades are so much fun!   There are so many fun things to see, not to mention the yummy candy! =D

Later on in the day, we all went to the stock car races in Lebanon!  The boys loved watching the fast cars race around the track!

Vroom, vroom!

Lily Jane

Sweet Lily Jane is 9 weeks old already!  We love her SO much, and she is very much loved by her brothers!

 

Memorial Day Weekend!!

We were a happy caravan when we headed down to Medford for Memorial day weekend with Zoe and Kaia in tow...a total of 6 kiddos in the suburban! (Ryan & Jessica came down later on) We had such a fun, and relaxing weekend!! Mitch, Ryan, and Will woke up early, and went to bed late with grins the size of a watermelon as they headed to the river Saturday and Monday to salmon fish!  It was so fun to be all together at Papa and Nana's, all we needed was Auntie Angie!

Saturday's catch!!

Such cute buddies! Love this picture!

A happy and contented Nana!

Sweet snuggle time with just the girls! =)
 

What a heavy load! 

  
An excellent day fishing!!

The kids had such a fun time playing with each other at Papa and Nana's!
 

Will's nice catch on Monday!

Ryan and Will were joyfully working in the kitchen most of the weekend filleting and packaging salmon steaks! =D

Just the girls!

Such good buddies! It is so sweet to see that Reid and Papa have  such a special relationship together.. =)
