The Joys of June

We had a couple weeks in June when things slowed down and we thought we would be able to enjoy a pretty relaxing summer. The end of the school year always has some fun activities (and teaching again meant I had a lot of work to finish up before the year ended). We found out on June 19th, that we would be relocating to CA so from that point on our few weeks of down time were in the rear view mirror and we were in for quite a ride the next few months.

The girls love getting to have some screen time and share their shows.

We had a huge hail storm in early June, it was crazy and fun.

Father's Day with Daddy! We took the ferry across to see my Dad and sister and enjoy a meal (and of course really good ice cream)

Lucy's kindergarten celebration, she did such an awesome job this school year and we are so proud of her, we were also super lucky to have Mrs. Homchick as her teacher (who Jaydon had in 1st grade).

Argh, so bummed for the blurry pic of Lucy getting her medal

Jaydon had his first sleep over at a friends house, this is him napping the next day (which he never does) because they had such a great time staying up most of the night!

Some cooking time in the kitchen with Dad

Bubblewrap Fun

We had a ton of bubble wrap from some pictures we got. The kids had a fabulous time jumping into the pile and playing around.

Couch jumping - Smoldon Style

The girls were downstairs playing away so happily for quite awhile, finally I got curious what was causing the huge amount of laughter. When I got down I found them jumping into their pile of cushions. Jaydon had to join in the fun at that point too!

Valentine's Day

We had a fun and busy day celebrating Valentine's Day

A week visit with Auntie, E and A

Auntie Jenny was bringing E and A over for a week while she observed some PE teachers on this side of the water. Jeremy was out of town for the week and so we had a fun time just the moms and kids. Grandma thankfully came and helped out too.  They were planning to arrive Monday but after seeing the weather report came on Sunday instead, good thing, we woke up Monday to a winter wonderland which all the kids really enjoyed playing in. For the rest of the week I neglected to take many pictures but we had fun doing different outings while Jen went to watch PE classes.

Kate was loving baby A

The jumping place

We went to the jumping place with Vitaly and Olga and Mark. We had a great time and the kids sure were busy.
