Memorial Day Fun

Gibs rode on the Threeschool float in the Memorial Day parade.  Somehow him and his buddy, Crew, switched spots with each other by the end of the parade--not sure what they were doing :-).

I walked with Layla and some of the kids from her class.

At night we went to Joe's parents with is cousins' kids.

Grets with cousin (or 2nd or 3rd or whatever) Isaac.

Gibs had fun getting plants for our yard with us.  It's always nice (and somewhat rare) to get one on one time with the kids. Em watched Greta and Layla was still in school.  It was fun just having Gibs with us.

The kids like umbrellas :-)

Work Picnic

In the middle of our camping weekend in June, was Joe's work picnic.  The kids of course had a great time.  It was perfect weather for it!

Sunday Funday

I can't believe it's almost the end of July already!  Ah, where is this summer going??  We had a cooler week earlier this week, so it been nice having warmer temps again this weekend. Although I actually enjoy the "cooler" (meaning 65-70 degrees) days too.  As an end to our busy day today, we had dinner and dessert over the fire.  

We've been working on our landscape, but it's taking a lot longer than we thought!  Other projects and summer activities interfere, plus the work of the landscape and just take awhile!  Our patio was poured in June and so we've got some landscape done around the patio, but definitely still have some left to go!  Eventually, we'll get to all of it :-).  We also finally got the kids swing set over here which they've loved having again.  It needs some work, but again, we'll get there :-).

Saturday late afternoon we headed to the beach.  The kids of course loved it. 

Friday was Gavin's birthday party.  The kids all loved the Monsters Inc/University theme.  Greta especially LOVED her Mike tee.  It came in the mail on Thursday (I forget she didn't have a Monsters shirt until Tuesday--thank goodness for Amazon Prime :-) ) and she was upset she couldn't wear it then.

We did a few poses in hopes of getting a good group shot :-).

I painted little Mike Wazowski's on the kids' nails (yes, even the boys' :-) ) which they thought was pretty fun :-).

Tulip Time

This isn't a Tulip Time pic (obviously), but it was right during it.  The kids decorated the table for Joe's birthday with whatever fun party décor they could find :-).

It started to rain and then thunder and lightening shortly before the parade when we were at the park.  We took shelter under a picnic pavilion and it then thankfully cleared up shortly before the parade began.

End of the School Year

Better late than never, right?  These are from the end of school.  Gibs had a fun last day at the park.  He will miss his buddies Crew and Luke next year.  He will be in a different preschool class than them and in elementary school, they'll all be at different schools :-(.

Happy Fourth of July

Great-Grandma

We had a surprise birthday party for Joe's grandma's 95th birthday!!

June 4 birthday girls :-).  So special that these two special little girls share a birthday with their Great-Gram!
