summertime

We've been trying to get our summer rhythm going, there's just so much fun stuff to do!
Summer fun in the pool


On Papa's boat



And everywhere inbetween.

Digging out precious rocks in our little excavation kit.


Dillan did his first big brother bottle feeding. Everyone's growing up too fast!

Father's Day

We had a great weekend spending Father's Day with some great Daddys and Papas!
First we baked peanut butter blossoms for Daddy and Papa, put them in a special decorated box and the kids hid it in their room until Sunday morning. We worked hard finishing Daddy's tie. It was a tribute to the Utah Jazz and basketball. Not exactly how I wanted it to turn out, but I wasn't about to mess with tradition, and I know Chris appreciates my mediocre crafting skills every year.
We made a special Priesthood Line of Authority framed picture for Daddy, with his priesthood lineage. He loved it.
The kids filled out forms telling all about their Papa. How old he is, his favorite food, etc.
Then more family came over and we had some fun visiting and laughing.

We are so grateful for our Daddy and our Papa who take such good care of us and love us unconditionally. They are great examples, teachers, and playmates!

Love you Papa!
Love you Daddy!

Summer

We've been enjoying the summer and trying to fill our days with fun!

This week we went to the San Diego County Fair and had a day full of food, games, a few rides, pig races, and more food (do people really eat deep fried butter???)

Some fun days still ahead!

kickin off summer!

Summer has started. YAY! There's just so much to keep us busy and having fun, I don't know how we're gonna do it all!
Before summer started, Dillan had Kindergarten graduation.
The ceremony started with all the class seated on the rug and everyone read The Very Hungry Kindergartner. It went through all the months of the school year and everything they had learned. They sang songs, did the pledge of allegiance, and recited lots of fun things.




Then Mrs Iverson handed out their report cards and packets to take home. I still have everything to look through!

After the program, there was pizza and ice cream sundaes. Some of the mothers had gifts for the students. One mom made cute little scrapbooks for each kid from pictures she had taken throughout the year. Tons of work but super cute! Another Mom had a huge bag with a bouncy playground ball for each kid.
Dillan played the rest of the day with his buddies, it was hard to say goodbye.
Before we left, we gave Mrs Iverson her present Dillan made. We took a regular box of crayons, cut them in half, and glued them onto a monogram letter I, the page also had Mrs Iverson's name on it. We put it in a frame and figured she could use it in her classroom. She loved it and said she would keep it in her classroom.

He had such a great year and learned so much!
Goodbye Kindergarten, Hello First Grade!
