Ally's big birthday present

Grandpa and Grandma got Ally her curtains and Grandma made her a beautiful quilt that she LOVES.

Mommy and daddy moved lots of things around in preparation for setting up a new bed for her. 

She knew she was getting her own room, just not sure when.  She was excited and loves it!

Last day of school

Both Ben and Ally were awarded excellence shirts. I was grateful they got them the same time so Matt only had to leave work early once. Grandma Julie was able to watch Briggs, Josey and Jonah so we could go.

Ben is on the far right in red shorts.

Ben and the most wonderful kindergarten teacher ever!

And because I didn't think the kids would be tired from the end of school festivities they had swim lessons. Let's just say they didn't argue at bed time.

Excellence and a birthday

I was SO glad that both Ally and Ben were awarded excellence shirts on the same day.

 Lucy was so excited it was her birthday! She picked out a cake for me to make.

Pre k graduation

This was the first graduation for the preschool that Ben and Lucy attended. It was cute.

The teacher on the right is Miss Miller. On the left is Miss Julie. Both of these wonderful ladies had Ben and Lucy in class.

Lucy's preschool graduation

She had a terrible time deciding which dress was the perfect one for her big night. 

Finally she chose her black and white dress.

 Lucy's fans:

 Waiting patiently for her teacher to call her name to walk across the stage.

A little fun after the ward 5k

Yummy cake!

Matt and I stopped by the SouthBend Chocolate factory when we were downtown on a date.

Just a good day to be outside

The girls started off talking/pretending, which lead to

 making something they pretended to eat.

 Meanwhile little man mowed the yard.

 The big kids got their swing on.

 Then they really got swinging for their audience.

 The audience loved the performance.

 It is always a drag when you have lawn mower issues.
