Today is Mark's birthday! (So get those well wishes out there!)

Mark, we just wanted to tell you how much we love and appreciate all that you do for us. We hope you have a wonderful day! Love, us

Mark's b-day celebration updated....

We got to spend the weekend in OC hanging out, relaxing, shopping, eating, watching "Up" with the family and just celebrating!

Lunch at the Cheesecake Factory

South Coast Plaza for some b-day shopping at Nordstrom

Grandpa even got in on the action!

All in all a great birthday celebration week!! However, I think Mark is still owed some golf...

Our Darling Kids

This pic was taken at my sister, Mandy's wedding back in May. Will was only 3 weeks old!

Preschool's out FOR-EV-ER!!

Well, for Ellie it is anyways--she is now officially a preschool graduate!! She had such a great time at school this year. The school's program is terrific, and they got to experience so many fun things. Ellie enjoyed being in Mrs. Turner's class and had some wonderful teacher's helpers and made some really great friends!

But now, she is off to bigger and better things! Ellie is so excited to go on to kindergarten next year and even more excited that we get to walk to school everyday!!

Now we are ready for an awesome summer!!!

This was Ellie on backwards day at school in April

Ellie at the preschool end-of-the-year Open House where they had 2 bounce houses, treats, activities and displayed some of the children's artwork and had a special surprise guest

Meeting Clifford the Big Red Dog

Ellie and her good friend Lily

Ellie with the girls from her class on the last day of school picnic (Allie, Jenna, Lilly, Ellie, Kierra)

Ellie and her teacher Mrs. Turner

This is my favorite shot! I love comparing Ellie's growth on the last day of school to her first day.
And of course we had to take it at the "rusty door"!
