**Oops! I forgot to resize my photos and don't feel like doing it all over again! Sorry for the big pics!**
It's been awhile since I last updated. We have been super busy with the end of school year stuff and just getting used to having everyone home again!
The last week of school was fun but very busy. We had field days - 2 of those, a poetry recital, world communities presentations, beach day, sports day, game day, pj day, book buddy picnic, and the final day! I told you it was busy.
The last day was very emotional for us all. Claire just can't handle the separation. Poor thing just cried and cried. It was very sad. Our school has the 5th graders (highest grade at our school) do a walk of fame at the end of the day. They all parade around the school halls and cry. It is really pretty sad. Then all the bus riders get on the buses and those of us that are not riding the bus go out to the busport and wave as the buses circle 3-4 times. All the kids are hanging out the windows waving and saying goodbye. Very dramatic!
We are enjoying summer so far by spending most days at the pool. It is good to be back outside in the sun and water. We pretty much live there in the summer. Hope you all are enjoying the beginning of summer! Have a great one!
Last day of school!
Field day!
Book Buddy Picnic (Claire was Chad's book buddy this year - so sweet!)

We have had a very busy spring so far! The weather is just perfect and we are enjoying lots of outside time. School is winding down and we are all looking forward to swim weather.
As the school year winds down field trips come up! Last Thursday Jason and I (along with Cody!) went with Chad's kindergarten class to the zoo. It was a great day and we had so much fun. I loved the way the school did this trip. Each parent that went was assigned their child and one other child and we were free to do what we wanted when we wanted and then met back at the bus.
On Friday Claire and I spent the night at the zoo with her Brownie troop. What a great time that was! We learned alot and it was so neat to be in the zoo without the crowds.
Chase is finally getting to play some soccer since the rains have slowed down! We had 2 this weekend and it was fun watching them run around.
Cody and I have had some playdates with his friends and he is just busy following me all around! We are still at the school quite a bit but that is slowing down for now. Next year he will be quite the little trooper as I will be at the school much more.
In other big news, Chad has lost his first tooth. He was excited and feels like a big kid now. His 2nd one is about to come out, too. It's a mixed bag for me. I think they are so cute with holes in their mouth, but it means they are growing up and I'm not ready!
Here's some pics from the week. Have a blessed week!

When I get where I'm going
on the far side of the sky.
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly.
I'm gonna land beside a lion,
and run my fingers through his mane.
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
I will shed the sins and struggles,
I have carried all these years.
And I'll leave my heart wide open,
I will love and have no fear.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Don't cry for me down here.
I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy,
and he'll match me step for step,
and I'll tell him how I missed him,
every minute since he left.
Then I'll hug his neck.
So much pain and so much darkness,
in this world we stumble through.
All these questions, I can't answer,
so much work to do.
But when I get where I'm going,
and I see my Maker's face.
I'll stand forever in the light,
of His amazing grace.
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
Yeah when I get where I'm going,
there'll be only happy tears.
Hallelujah!
I will love and have no fear.
When I get where I'm going.
Yeah when I get where I'm going.
I'm stoked you all enjoyed the link!
I think I'll be okay in the tube, but it's more about the shot they have give me to put the dye in my shoulder. :/
That's what I'm most afraid of. :(
