Memorial Day Weekend

We were doubly treated this Memorial Day with visits from both my and Mike's parents.  Love it when their visits cross!

It was hot -- so we spent some time at a local splash park.










A little frisbee time...





A little playground time...






After such great playtime in the blazing sun, frozen yogurt was in order!




A movie and pop's lap are always a great combination.



Griffin took awhile to eat his dinner, so Gram helped out with the good ole airplane game.





Griffin wanted to replay the favor...with a keep-away twist.




Another shot of Griff's salut/scout's honor sign that he's 4.


Our keep-away game was much fun too!  I did more snapping than playing, but it was still fun (i gotta get a better system of "pics for 5-10 minutes, then camera down & play" - vs only taking pictures or only playing).  The kids had a hard time remembering who was on who's team, so we decided on a 'bandana team' and a non-bandana team'.



















A great holiday weekend!!

Preschool Wrap Up

Noah and Griffin LOVED their school year, loved their teachers, loved their friends.  I have video to go along with these photos....maybe someday I'll post them.  I'll post some favorite art projects and little stories sometime too.  Until then, here are a few shots of their program and their end of school picnic.  Bare bones, but proves it all happened.


{griffin's teachers are behind him.  LOVED them.  i'm in a bible study/life group with ms patti - the blonde.  love that we have that connection too}

{noah's teachers are behind him.  LOVED them too.  they could not have been more kind, more patient, more capable of getting noah out of his shell.  he really matured this year and made some strides with his confidence.  he has strides left to go...and i know he's going to do great in kindergarten.}

{the tk kids all got lollipop flowers.  they also handed flowers to each of the visitors from sharon towers -- a retirement community across the street where the kids go to greet and perform several times a year}



this is the only shot i took of the noah with friends.  i just wasn't in a snapping mood, i guess (and the boys never complain about that :).  one of these guys will be at the same school as Noah next year, which is nice.


more school recaps in another post/another time!
