My Favorites on Friday

I snapped this one a while ago. I just love when these two play together. Notice her hand resting on his leg, love it.

Happy Weekend!!

Sunday evening concert

Ever since I gave in to Carter and let him quit piano, he has not touched it, not once. I was totally shocked when I heard him playing last night. It didn't take long for everyone to join him. Hailey pulled out her quitar and Emery helped pound out some tunes. They were upset with me when I told them that it was bedtime and they would have to continue their concert at a later date.

Stars Wars action figures are always welcome at any gathering.

I had to take this picture with Emery's "duck binkie". She insists on having it in her mouth at bathtime and will not give it up until bedtime.

My favorites on Friday

Happy Friday Everyone!!

End of school festivities

Brendan had his first field day. He loved every minute of it and left with blue popsicle on his chin to remember the good time he had.

He also graduated from kindergarten. I really tried to convince him not to, but he insisted.

We also attended award ceremonies and Kayden's elementary school graduation. Once again, I tried convince him not to graduate, but I didn't have any luck there either.

 I went to pick them up afterschool today- I don't always do that because they like to walk with their friends- and they didn't want the ride. I had to take a picture to mark the occasion since I won't have my kids in the same school anymore. I really can't believe I am old enough to have a child in middle school.  Kayden thinks he is ready, but I am not sure I am.

Weekend Events

We enjoyed our long weekend, even though it seemed to go by so fast. On Friday, Corey took the older kids and went to meet his family to go camping. They were gone until late Saturday night and Emery and I were all alone. I was so excited to have a little peace and quiet, but it was almost too quiet. Poor little Emery was just lost. She kept crawling from room to room looking for the kids. She really didn't know what to do with herself. She and I did get in some good shopping time though. I sent Corey with a camera and told him to take pictures. Mostly he took some really obnoxious ones of the camp itself like random trees and pop cans, but he did get a few cute shots of the kids.

The kids had the best time. Riding on 4-wheelers and shooting the BB gun seemed to be a couple of  the favorite things. I love the picture of Hailey with the BB gun, it's every mothers dream to see their daughter with a gun. They were not very happy about coming home. Carter even said it was more fun than playing with his friends. If you know Carter at all, that says a lot.

Monday was pretty low-key. We went to lunch and for frozen yogurt. We BBQ'd for dinner and the kids played outside. It was hard to face the morning, but only another day and a half and summer officially begins!!
