We've already had a busy June!

We added some more shrubs to our landscaping in the front of our house last week. I'm excited to see the front of our house transform as they begin to grow and fill in more.



We also planted some arborvitae trees on the hill next to our driveway. This is the one spot where we can see our neighbors house. It will be nice to have a little privacy screen here once these grow.



Our back patio:



Last Saturday we went to Fun Land and then took the girls to see a movie:








On Sunday we went to a graduation party for the son of my friend Mandy. Here is Brooke with their daughter Emma. Emma is one of Jade's good friends.



Brooke with her bestie, Emily. I subbed in Brooke's classroom this day:

The girls have been begging me to take the bus for awhile now. So starting in June, they have been taking the bus home from school. I still drive them to school in the morning. Brooke is so used to me driving her to and from school for the past 4 years that taking the bus is such a treat to her. It broke my heart a little that they were so excited about this.


Our school had donuts with Dad this morning and then I volunteered at Field Day.










Unfortunately the Kinder - 2nd graders were on a separate field than the upper grades, so I only got pictures of Jade and Avery, since that is where the station was that I was in charge of. I did get to see Brooke before I left though --


I can't believe we have another school year almost in the books. Just one more week left until it's officially summer break!

Brooke's 3rd grade field trip and the rest of May

Brooke had her field trip the week before we left for Orlando. They took a chartered bus to DC and saw an orchestra performance at the Kennedy Center, had lunch at the Sculpture Gardens, and then went to a museum.










Silly Jade and Avery sleeping in a closet ....





Jade had team placements for her 3rd year of All Star Cheer...


We are super excited about her placement on a Youth Level 2 team!!


Jeff's Aunt Kim, Uncle Joe, Nicolle, and Tory stopped for an overnight visit on their way back from their vacation in Florida.










The girls attended a ton of birthday parties this past month for friends of theirs...









Lots of wildlife to be seen around our house...



Brooke had another horse show over Memorial Day Weekend:







This is a picture of all the students at our elementary school. The local fire department came and took a picture of them from their ladder on their truck.
