Graduations!

Bradley graduated from preschool. He is so excited to be a Doodlebug Graduate!

They had a cute little program that morning. Jared, Jacob, Caitlin, and I got to watch them sing a bunch of their favorite class songs.

A-tootie-tah

Receiving his diploma.

So proud!

A picture with Miss Sara. Mackayla and Bradley have both loved her preschool, and we're sad she won't be teaching anymore.

After the graduation, Jared took us to a quick lunch at Del Taco to celebrate. There were no other kids there, so I let Caitlin go up into the playground for the first time. She LOVED it!

I picked Mackayla up on the last day of school, so this is her last day off the bus in first grade the day before.

Heading off for her last day of first grade! School was less than 2 hours long that day.

School's out for summer!! Celebrating the beginning of Summer Vacation!

That night we had a graduation for Jacob. There was never a dress code for Jacob school, and the no shirt look was very popular at the school this year.

Congratulations Jacob!

The three graduates.

They all got a little gift.

The next night we had a s'mores party.

Where's my little girl?!?! Mackayla is getting so grown up. She was my date to a baby shower for Chelsea that morning.

I worked so hard preparing this area of dirt, next to the garden, for the kids to play in. I worked the dirt a ton until it was nice and soft and perfect for playing in. They LOVE it, but I'm regretting it. :) Every time they go out they head straight to the dirt. Here they are making mud pies.

We've enjoyed lots of slurpees already this summer.

We've been spending a lot of time working in the yard. The kids enjoyed a picnic under the trampoline one Saturday afternoon.

Memorial weekend we worked in the yard a lot, went swimming, and attended a neighborhood BBQ.

Jared told the kids that it was time for bed, and Mackayla argued back that it really wasn't. After a couple of minutes, she said to check the clock because it was really only 2 o'clock in the afternoon. She is a VERY clever girl!

Caitlin is old enough now to try to join in on all the activities the other kids do. It makes everything more complicated, but she loves doing everything they do.
