Jaydon is the big 1-0 !

Guess who is 10!! Wow, we now have a kiddo in double digits...where does the time go? We had a great time celebrating Jaydon at a pool, soccer and basketball party (our clubhouse has the pool with a basketball court and field for soccer attached to it - perfect)! He had a great time playing with friends and enjoying being 10!

Jaydon still loves math, he is getting into reading some great books, he plays piano, soccer, basketball, baseball and football. He made honor roll at school. He enjoys games with his family, cribbage and chess are current favorites (he crushes me in chess, thank goodness his Dad can still beat him and keep him thinking). He can push the limits at times and can still pick on his sisters (does that ever end...). We sure love him and hope he has another fabulous year!

Just June

 We made a fun ice cream bar cake for Dad to celebrate Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Breakfast!

 We enjoyed hanging out at the Croatian Festival with our neighbors

Lucy won a huge raffle of gift cards at the big school ice cream social to wind up the year.
 I had the gang after school so we made some helicopters and raced them


 Of course playing in the neighbor's pool is a fun way to spend some time


 Jaydon and I participated in the Mother Son Wacky Golf tournament through our parks and rec. It was great!


 It is a 'golf' tournament where you use all kids of different equipment to get various balls in the holes

Kate turns 4!

Every year I am surprised at how fast time seems to go...I remember it crawling by waiting for Christmas or a birthday to arrive and now it seems I blink and we are at another milestone. My baby is 4 (going on 14)! She is super sweet, snuggly and sassy! She makes friends with everyone she meets (as evidenced by joining school a month late and fitting in as though she never missed a day), adults and children. She likes talking with people and telling them about how she is doing and asking how they are. If she can hold a door open for you she will. Dolls, horses, stories and shows are some of her favorite things to do. She loves make-up and nail polish and fancy things. She is great at playing individually but loves to have play dates and play with members of her family, games and pretend play with dolls are a hit. She does well in school, lots of her teachers mention she is bright and remembers information really well. She tells great stories and is a very happy girl. We are so blessed to have her smile and sass every day!
Wow, so maybe it is a third child thing (or that I love pumpkin pie too) but she wanted pumpkin pie for dessert for her birthday but also to go to the big ice cream shop for her free sundae so we did both. Pumpkin pie for breakfast it was!


Then after dinner we hit up the ice cream shop


She loved the attention of getting sung too! A sports team came in and sang along, you can see at the end how she waves to everyone. Stinkin' cute!
Then time to open presents and drop in with Granny and Papa

The next day we did a birthday party at the park near our house (like 5 houses down the street). Many friends from her preschool came and she had a wonderful time.



I can only ever put the last little bit of the Happy Birthday song on here because I have to keep the videos to less than 15 seconds for them to work. Enjoy!
