A Memorable week and a Memorial Day

Well, this has been one of those weeks with a lot of "Little Milestones." First of all, on Monday, Andrew had his Preschool Graduation. We had a picnic at Hess Farms Park and the kids did a little program. Andrew was sad to say good-bye to Mrs. Hazeldine.

Ben had his last soccer game. It has been fun to watch him this year. He played on 2 different teams and he's loved every minute of it!

James went to the "Sixth Grade Dance" and had a great time. Here is a picture of him when he got home. What a hottie! He had no trouble filling up his dance card. Can you believe this guy is going into Jr. High next year?

Joey's big news is his first word. Actually it's a few of them. He says, "Dee-zhee" which means Daisy and also "Ga-Gool" which means good girl (and also means Daisy.) As you can tell, our dog is about the most important thing in Joey's life.

We had planned on going to a picnic at the park for Memorial Day, but since it was raining like crazy, we ended up going bowling. It was so much fun! We found out that Andrew is not only a champion bowler on the Wii, but also with the bumpers.

Nate and Larraine, Josh and Lisa and Matt and Andrea and their families (minus the twins) met us at Bountiful Bowl.

The kids did a "Chicken Dance whenever they got a strike. For Andrew, that was six times!

As soon as the weather cleared up, we got together with some of our neighbors for an impromptu BBQ.

The kids played outside and we visited at the Fluhrers. Then we went over to the Reeds to roast marshmallows. James can sure make a mean s'more. mmmmm.......

Izabella got marshmallow all over herself. It was in her hair, on her feet, her face and her clothes, but she was a master roaster!

So, that's our fun week in review. Countdown: 4 days to Summer Vacation!
