Isla’s Pre-K graduation

So proud of this little girl!  They put on a wonderful show of all the things that they learned this year.  Ed and I were there and my mom and dad came too.  I think that she felt really special.

 

Here is Isla and her best friend!  What big changes in them on the last 10 months.  They will be in the same kindergarten class in the fall, look out St. Elizabeth Seton here they come!

Here is a little sample of her performance.

And here are the proud parents!

 

So here is Isla in the morning after I was done curling her hair.  She was not happy with me.  I touched the back of her arm with the curling iron and she was in pain and not a happy camper.  I felt awful!  But doesn’t her hair look nice.  Today we are going to get it cut, a few inches to make it a little cooler for summer.

Isla’s First Field Trip!

 

  

Here is my girl!  Her first field trip and she was soooo excited.  She got to have her first trip on a school bus and her first field trip.  When you have an older sibling it is hard to wait your turn for your own field trip.

 

It was a beautiful day!  Lots of sun but not too hot.  Isla made her t-shirt at Pre-K on Wednesday and just had to wear it today.

We took a break to have some lunch.  A bit of miss-communication there but we eventually all got hot dogs.  This is one of Isla’s best buddies.  They go to day home and Pre-K together, I love this picture!

This was Isla’s partner for the day and they took this job very seriously.  They always knew where the other one was and spent most of the day holding hands.  It was super cute!

Here is the whole crew!  There were lots of parents as well so lots of us there to keep everyone together and happy.

It was a long hot day so us girls went for a slurpee as a reward for being so good and walking so far with no whining.

Cutest Campsite

I kept my nephews over night on Saturday night and put the tent up in the back yard.  It didn’t go too badly 2 out of the 4 kids slept out there!

Party

Ed was awesome and made up and set up a bunch of sports games for the kids to play.  Hockey, basketball, soccer, golf and then topped off by a game of hill ball.  What is hill ball, well one team tries to get the ball up the hill and into the hoop and the other team tries to stop you.  Lots of fun, and then a couple of spectacular crashes that made me cut the game a little short.  It is hard to explain to another parent how their child got hurt so better safe than sorry!

It was a great day for a party!  The weather was beautiful and we did everything outside.  Ed cooked up some sliders that the kids all loved!

After that kids left we had some of out friends and their kids stay for some more playing and some adult food and drinks.  The first beergarita’s of the season!

 

One of Ed’s Father’s Day gifts was this fire pit, and we had to try it out.  It worked wonderfully and we got to have the first smores of the season I love it!

The Cake

After lots of talk and searching the internet I found one that I could tackle.  Can you guess what it is?

How about now?

I hope you can now.  He was the most excited about the chocolate covered doughnut wheels!

Happy Birthday Adam

Look at where we started!  A little upside down baby, that was so anticipated, so wanted, so treasured, so loved.

To this big boy!

Happy 7th BIrthday buddy!

I think that he had a fantastic day!  We started the morning very early!  Ed got up to go to the gym at 5:30am and no one went back to sleep after that.  When Ed got back we opened presents and he got just what he wanted.  It was awesome to be able to do that for him! 

Then I brought cupcakes to school and while I was there they sang him Happy Birthday.  He was just beaming! 

We went out for supper to Las Palmeras with Grandma and Grandpa and then back to our house for cake.  It was so much fun and I think that he felt really special.  He has been having trouble blowing out his candles, he had to blow them out one by one, I hope that there wasn’t too much spit on the cake!  A great day, man I love that kid!

Matthew

Sunday found us back on the highway up to Leduc.  It was Matthew’s First Communion.  He looked so serious.  Cute, but serious.

It was a beautiful hot day and the kids all wanted to run through the sprinkler, I hadn’t brought suits so they borrowed their cousins and had a fantastic time!  It was nice that the weather was finally nice, it has been a cool and wet few weeks.
