Memorial Day Pool Party

Fun with friends at the pool.

Nothing beats eating a corn on the cob, poolside.

Aiden's last day of school

Aiden's last day of school. Field Day!!

Sno cone machine slushy.

The day before, we did their end of year party with a pool party theme. We we so busy with the kids I didn't take a single picture. 

But here are some of the party details...

All the mom's hosting the party wore white t-shirts and made lifeguard crosses out of duct tape. We served an ice cream sunday bar complete with waffle bowls. They all made a commemorative t-shirt with hand prints on the back and the party wrapped up with an outside water gun war.

Weekend road trip to see a long time friend tie the knot. The groom, Kevin, and I worked together 16 years ago at Goody's Family Clothing which was my first job out of college. It was great to hang out with some friends from the good 'ol days!

 Laurel and I with a Rolls Royce. Kevin is a lover of cars so this is what took them from the ceremony  to the reception. Then they left the reception in one of Kevin's fancy sports car.

The friends from the past (because we are NOT old, i'm not going to say old friends!)

The kids had a blast staying in the hotel. There was a hot tub, swimming pool and a putting green.

 Camille enjoyed staying in the top bunk in the hotel room! 

The kids liked eating breakfast in the lobby in their jammies!

Gavin literally cried when we had to go home. We had such an enjoyable time catching up with friends from the past as well as hanging out with just our family enjoying and relaxing.

My camera died on this trip, I'm super bummed about it. I even bought a purse style camera bag from Jo Jo Totes, lugged it with me to the wedding and after about 5 pictures it just stopped working. So most of the photos are iphone. I had really hoped to capture some great moments in print but I guess my memory will have to do for this one. I hope it is an easy, inexpensive repair.

Pool is OPEN

We made opening day. Aiden and I ran down there for a bit. Yea for Summer!!!

Cannon Ball!! Go Aiden!

Preschool is out for summer

Gavin and Camille had their last day of Preschool today. They had great teachers and a fun year, it was fun to look back at how much they changed over the school year.

Hugs with her teachers on her last day.

 Her first day, what a sweet tiny little baby girl.

Gavin turned into his own person this year, he has the cutest sense of humor.

He has grown a lot in many ways.

Here he is on his last day.

This was his first day.

Brrr Cold Snap

We had a bit of a cold snap, so I got one last wear of our corduroy dress, tights and ugg style boots.

Track Meet

Aiden got to participate in the relay race this year. The relay is one of the most popular events, he was so excited. The other thing that added to his excitement is that the track meet is usually only for third graders and up. He was one of the second grade boys selected to fill in.

 here is his relay team

 Here are his faithful supporters!

and the event, look at him go! 

I was so proud and honored to have him represent his school and our family.
