Kate's Gym Celebration

Kate has really enjoyed getting to have her gymnastics time (just like big sister). These pics are from her celebration day where they performed skills for us and got their year end medals. She was thrilled and had a great time.

Ta-Da she loved her gymnastics time

Every day Kate waits by the door for class to end and then she wants to be the door holder. She waits until every last person is out of the gym (even if that takes a really long time).

Lake Fun

 We went to the lake with friends and had a great time. Our friends live walking distance away so it was fun to be able to head back to their house and enjoy a dinner and s'mores after. Clearly I was having too much fun that evening to take pictures.

Happy Birthday Treyson

We went to a neighbor's to celebrate their 3rd son's 3rd birthday. We had a great time. Jayda (the mom) throws a pretty amazing party.

Kids did a little water play

Then we ate some food and had a pinata

There is a huge yard to play in

And we closed the evening off with cupcakes!  Happy Birthday Treyson!

Girl's and their dolls

 Lucy and Kate are at a fun age where they can really play together. I often hear Kate yell "mom" and when I answer she says "no, you're not the mom, Lucy's the mom." Lot's of dolls and dress up and pretend happen with these girls.

Good-bye to Higgins

We had to say good-bye to Higgins. He was such a wonderful part of our family and he will be missed.  It was unfortunately also during a very crazy busy stretch that we had to say good-bye and we were very fortunate to find a vet who would come to our house within a few hours of calling and allow us to say good-bye to him peacefully at home just hours before Jeremy flew out for a week long business trip.  We all cried, we all smiled and we all celebrated Higgins and the love he brought to our home. 

Sorry it is sideways but a nice card we received from the vet a few days after.

Just a couple days before we said good-bye Jeremy gave Higgins a nice warm spot near the fire

The kids new he wasn't doing well and would try and cover him with this blanket to help him feel better.

It was hard to say good-bye but it was time. One of the hardest parts was the next morning when I went to get Kate in the morning and the first thing she said was "Higgins feeling better now, he can come come?" Oh tears, we miss him!

Camping

We took a quick overnight camping trip not too far from Jaydon's school so we could make it work on a school night. Grandma kept the girls and I just brought Jaydon after school Thurs and took him back in Fri morning. We had a good night and the kids had a lot of fun running around the campsite.

We had a great time!

Lucy's Spring Sing

Lucy had her Spring Concert for Pre-K. She had a great year and did a fabulous job with her singing and she had a lot of fun.  It was a great year for her and I was so glad to see her get to enjoy Ms. Flath as her teacher just like Jaydon did.

Her end of year book 0- it is quite an undertaking and Ms. Flath makes them beautiful for all the kiddos.
