Busted, by the blogger police!
So life has been happening... so in the last few weeks I have been to New York and back (fabulous trip-- wow so much fun!) the kids have been busy with tumbling, soccer and start VBS this week! We have been swimming quite a bit, gone for many bike rides and have now started on our association neighborhood park, we are putting in a volleyball court, sand box, 2 sets of horseshoe pits and we are redoing our firepit area.... so that is also keeping us busy but will be a great place to spend time outside with our neighbors.
And in super great news we are offically for Di$ney in December. If you can remember I was able to book the resort part in Jan. which is way early for us to book, but this years trip really hinged on air fare and it seemed to be only going up.... so things were not looking good... well last week I was checking and it dipped down to $201! $201-- so we booked! Suprisingly we saved $534.40 over last year! WOW totally shocked me. So we are all set, we even added a day to the trip so we will be there Dec6-14th! YAh!
So that is about it for my update.... chatt at ya later!

Slacking
Here she is with her some of her fellow classmates/friends!
This is Lauren and her teacher Mrs. M!
Then on Friday (May 30th) it was Mason's turn! He graduated from 1st year preschool (he will go back next year and get to graduate again!). He was so sweet... the pics didn't turn out super great-- so dark-- but when it was time to get their diploma's mason went down the line of kids and gave each a huge, for no reason... all the parents were giggling saying he is so sweet, look at that little boy giving hugs... and he was such a sweet heart! So caring and loving all the time!
We had a great weekend. My sisters kid's were up with my Mom... so on Friday night my kiddo's and my sister's two youngest went to my Mom's and my sister's two oldest were set to stay at my house, but ended up at my neighbor's house (my niece is friends with my neighbors daughter, so when in town they usually spend time together) we ended up have the neighbors over and having a bon fire- sans the kiddo's who left for her house to play guitar hero! Saturday we got up and Paul and I went out in search of a coffee ginder to gind our own beans (he has become a coffee drinker in the morning) got home and my neighbor stopped over for a cup and we sat on the deck taking in the beautiful morning. Then we mounted up on the bikes and biked to a local park and played sand volley ball. It was a super nice day and my kid's plus my sister's other two were back at my house... so we went for a swim at the neighbors home and then had everyone to our house for BBQ. While BBQ a new set of neighbors yelled over the valley to stop over... so we headed oer the river (creek about 2ft wide) and thru the woods (a few trees that border our lot and theirs) only to find another set of our neighbors already there. we were literally coming to meet them and have a drink... and we all ended up staying playing cards, the kids (including my sister-- yikes I brought a lot with me) played and played and then we had a bon fire at their house... it was like 1pm before we headed home. Sunday was a lazy day- we slept in and then headed to the park for a afternoon of throwing the football around, playing soccer, swinging and Mason played with his trucks in the wood chips! It was a beautiful day!
Monday we had Lauren's last brown bag lunch at school. Super cute they brought in lunch for everyone and the kids sang songs for us and then we took home ALL of their things!
This is two classes together-- Lauren had 20 kids in her class.
Tuesday was Lauren's last day of school! Wow I can't even believe that she is now a 1st grader! That year went by WAYYYY to fast!Here she is walking down the hill from the bus stop. She would never let me pick her up, unless it was a total down pour, but I would watch her every day!
And she found out her 1st grade teacher-- it will be Mrs. H!
