Memorial Day Weekend

We hope you all had a great Memorial Day Weekend and took a few minutes to remember all those who sacrifice for our country. We are truly a blessed nation! We took a trip to Georgia for the weekend. We started the weekend out with Steven's high school graduation which took place at the National Fairgrounds in Perry, GA. Then we spent the weekend just hanging out with all of our family. The boys truly love going over to Aunt Gail's house and just hanging around the pool. On Sunday we went with Gail, Amanda, Arleigh, Darrien and Dakota over to Macon, Ga where we took a roll down Coleman Hill then over to visit the Art/Science museum. I am attaching a few snapshots of the kids hanging out at the pool.

Riley's Preschool Graduation

Riley officially graduate preschool this past Thursday evening. He is so proud of the fact that he is now a "kindergartener" and thinks he can do everything that Taylor can do now due to that fact! He is truly going to miss all the great friends that he made in preschool, but is thankful that a few of them are going on to Pinedale with him. During the graduation they played a slideshow of pictures from the past year...during the slideshow Riley said "mom...there is just something about this music that makes me cry". It was hard for him to say good-bye to the past year. He finally concluded "that is was okay because one day they would all be parents together and they would see each other again". He got several of his friends phone numbers, but realized in the car that he forgot to get Kimberly's number. Kimberly and Riley made a pact that they would marry each other when they got old enough. After he realized he didn't have her number he said "that's ok mom, I am going to marry her anyways so I will always know where she is at..I won't need her phone number".

Dylan's New Hair Style

Just a few snapshots of Dylan in his class. The first one is Dylan and his friend Hong-Kook. Then there are a few snapshots where Tori is giving Dylan and new hair style. Maybe this will convince him to get a haircut....or maybe not!

Dylan's Award Ceremony

Pinedale Elementary had it yearly award program on May 24th, 2006. Dylan received awards for straight A's all year, A conduct all year and the Student Government Award. Dylan thoroughly enjoyed second grade and really took a love for reading this year. Dylan finished out the year reading on a 5.3 grade level (which is 3 months into the 5th grade level). He is starting a summer program next week called Books for Buck in which he will earn $3.00 per book that he reads and gives a report on during the summer months. In between the football, baseball and soccer camps that he is attending, that should help keep him busy throughout the upcoming weeks. We hope you all have a truly wonderful summer and enjoy spending time with your families in the upcoming months.

Jeff got to be the lucky one to go along with the class and he had a great time hanging out with the kids.
