The school year has come to an end...

The kids all loved their teachers this year.  They had great teachers that really took the extra time and effort to help the kids excell in their classrooms with whatever little things they needed.  I enjoyed the opportunity that I had this year to get into the school and into the classrooms to volunteer and help out at times.  I truly felt that our kids had the teachers that were the perfect teachers for each of them this past year.  I hope we have the same great luck with teachers next year.

Alex is now graduated from Elementary School.  He will be going to middle school next year.  They had a great 5th grade party for them.  The different classes all made posters for them and posted them on the walls around the school.  They have a great tradition at the school and the 5th graders have a "clap out" where they walk through the hallways as the other kids and parents line the hallways and cheer the 5th graders on their accomplishment.  Here is Alex with his two best friends- Cole and Charles. 
A scene of the hallway waiting for the kids to walk through, and Alex walking by.




Ashley had a great teacher.  It was her first year teaching and having her own classroom and she was great!  I went out to see her during her 4th grade class party and she marched over and asked me why I was there... I told her I had to get a picture of her with her teacher and then I would leave her alone. :)


Alyssa had the sweetest best teacher for her this year.  Alyssa is so painfully shy around others and it takes her a while to warm up to new adults in her life.  Her teacher was perfect for her this year.  She was warm and loving and took Alyssa under her wing and was the perfect teacher for Alyssa in this transition year from half day kindergarden to full day school.  She had a great year and made great friends and loved going to school each day.


Angela had the funnest time in Pre-K this year.  She had fun making new friends that were just "her" friends and not just brothers and sisters of her siblings friends or my friends kids.  She had two great pre-k teachers that she loved seeing each day and she would just hop out of the car and be excited to get to school.




This picture is so funny to me... because Angela was full of smiles and laughter and happines... and then it was time to go and we were headed to the other kids classes to visit them with their class parties.  I asked her if we could take a picture of her with her teachers, and all of a sudden the pouty frowny face came out and she refused to stand and smile with her teachers- so I just went ahead and took a picture of her mid pout. lol!

Awesome! Looks like you have some young and energetic teachers that play with the kiddos. Glad to know things are good in your neck of the woods.

House projects

After a few weeks of Rich working from home, we decided that we needed to do some moving around of stuff in the house.  The exercise equipment needed to be taken out of the office, and we made the decision to dismantle Alex's room since it's downstairs and that would become the new exercise room.  His stuff got packed up, and the room was painted and the treadmill was put into that room (which was a feat of it's own!  It won't come out of that room until we move away, and maybe not even then! lol! The office got a coat of paint as well and two of the bathrooms.  Now the entire house (except for closets) has been painted since we had moved in 3 years before. But then the biggest house project was thought of, and debated and decided on.  We had always said that we would like to redo the kitchen in this house, and decided to tackle the project.  We found cabinets online we liked and worked with a company to decide on our cabinet layout, and we ordered them....

2013 Tour of California: days 12, 13- Six Flags Magic Mountain, Hollywood

Sunday, June 2nd.   After church in Santa Rosa, we made our way south to Six Flags Magic Mountain. Monday, June 3rd.   Ashley had been waiting forever to go to this amusement park.  She is the thrill ride queen and can't ever get enough of the fast crazy rides.  Rich's brother Dave and his family (who the kids and I stayed with on the drive out) drove out from Arizona and joined us as he and Amanda are thrill ride junkies too. :)  We had a great time- so good that I didnt take very many pictures, but we spent two and a half days at Magic Mountain and had fun the whole time. Tuesday, June 4th.   After spending a few more hours at Magic Mountain, we drove down to Hollywood.  We stopped and walked along the walk of fame and found the stars and handprints of famous actors we like.  Most of those pictures are on Ashley's phone, so I'll have to add them later. :) That evening we checked into our home for the next four nights- Disney's Grand California H...

Our Dog Tale...

So... we have spent the last three weeks looking at puppies online, finding one that would be great for our family. We found an adorable little 4 month old black lab from a lab rescue in Tulsa, about an hour and a half drive away. We contacted them, and filled out the adoption application paperwork. Sent pictures of our fenced back yard, and got approved to adopt her. The lab rescue had named her Regina, for their records mainly- they generally called her puppy and girld so that she would easily adapt to a new name. We bought a large crate (she would get big!) and food bowls and a collar, leash and tag for her and on Saturday we drove to Tulsa to pick her up. The lab rescue was doing an adoption fair, so they had all the dogs they were trying to adopt out at a Petsmart and we meet them there. We got there around 1pm. As I was walking over there were a few people asking about a cute little puppy, and I overheard that it was Regina, and she was being adopted... I then said that I was Jul...
