Preschool Graduation & Other Events

Here's one of a few catch-up posts, since I'm behind.  We've been busy with summer fun and have lots to share.

First and foremost, Morgan graduated from Pre-K earlier this month and so our time at preschool has officially come to an end.  It was a lovely event followed by a very fun party that went on late into the evening.

 So proud of this boy!

 All of Morgan's friends.  They've been together since the Infant Room!

 Receiving his diploma from Miss S.--love this lady!

 Pondering serious thoughts about his future and what life will be like beyond preschool.

 Mommy and her littlest boy

 And Daddy too

 Jacoby has already started giving Morgan pointers about what life is like at elementary school.  Morgan is so ready!

We're enjoying our summer days together.  I cannot believe it's the end of June already!
Here's Jacoby practicing his jump shot with Daddy.

 The boys are in swim lessons and also participated in VBS for a week.  Can you see that the theme was perfect for them?

And last but not least, we celebrated Father's Day with Grandpa Michael and Grandmanette in town.

More to come tomorrow!

Summer is here!

Yay for summer!  We are very happy to be out of school and moving right into (mostly) less hectic days.  I love being home two days a week!  Here's what we've been up to lately:

My family came down for a lovely visit over Memorial weekend.  We went for a hike and picnic one of the days.

 And here is our Second grader and Kindergartner!  Both of them finished up school/preschool well.  Tears were shed by Mommy and Miss S. when I picked Morgan up for the final time from our dear preschool.  I was doing just fine until each of his friends came up and starting giving him hugs, telling him they love him, etc.  Seriously, my heart!  And they lined up along the fence to wave as we left.  Sheesh.  The things they don't tell you when you become a parent!  Morgan informed Justin when we got home that Mommy and Miss S. were sad but he was the first one to go to Kindergarten! (:

 We rode the bus into downtown Denver one day

 And visited our favorite bookstore

 Kenz and I ran the BolderBoulder 10K on Memorial Day, along with 52,000 other people.  It's the best race and it was so fun to run it with my sista!  Like our outfits?  (:  The boys unanimously rejected my tutu as an addition to their dress up bin.

 This girl took off on a mission to win!

 Just a selfie at the starting line

 The finish line is at Folsom Field at CU

 Jacoby helped put together buckets of summer fun, which we gave to Morgan's class on his last day of preschool.

Introducing Legolas and Bilbo

And here are the ants.  These guys have some pretty cool tunneling techniques.  We're sort of exploring creatures this summer.  The boys enjoy observing and taking care of them.

Here's our big summer list.  I think it's going to be a great summer!
