Memorial Day Weekend 2017

We spent part of the weekend out at Innsbrook.  We spent time at the pool and the beach and just hanging out at the cabin.  Unfortunately, we got rained on at the annual picnic but we still enjoyed spending time with my parents and Brandon and Mary and Aiden at the cabin.  The kids love going out there and even went fishing for the first time with my dad and Jason.  Peyton caught two fish!  It was a great weekend!



It was a little chilly!  Poor girl was shivering!



Can't beat this view




Pure joy!

Last Day of School 2017

Yesterday was the last day of school for Peyton and Charlie.  We now officially have a Kindergartener - which I can't believe!  Peyton and Charlie both had a great year at St. John. Peyton has been a little emotional the past few weeks when talking about the last day of school.  She will start at a new school next year and will miss her teachers and friends.  I fully expected her to be in tears when I picked her up yesterday but she was happy and excited!  She told her teacher that she cried on the last day of school last year and she wasn't going to do it this year!  She had a moment after we walked out of school but it was short lived.  I have a lot of mixed emotions about her starting kindergarten next year.  While I know she will do great and I'm excited to see how she will grow, it's a little bittersweet to have our first child starting grade school.  It's the beginning of a new chapter for our family and I'm not sure I'm quite ready for it!

Peyton took her camera to school so she could take pictures of all her friends.

Last week Peyton's teacher had an award ceremony for the class.  Peyton was given the award for "Encouraging Friend".  We are so proud of the kind girl that she is!



I loved these silhouettes of all the kids that were graduating!

Peyton's Dance Recital

Peyton did a great job at her dance recital yesterday.  She's still very serious on stage but I think she enjoys it!  She really enjoyed having her family there to support her and going to dinner with everyone afterwards!
