Last day of school, Ella's 10th birthday and Memorial day!!!!

The 24th was our last day of school!!!! It was also Ella's birthday, so we had a double celebration that day.

Aaron on his last day of 1st grade!

Ashton on his last day of Kindergarten!

We started celebrating Ella's birthday the night before. She wanted a shopping spree at her favorite store, so Adam and I both took her shopping. It was so much fun! And of course she looked cute in everything she tried on. It's just not fair. haha

Trying on more clothes

And more clothes!

Ella wanted Lego's for her birthday too. She had fun putting it together.

And ice cream cake for dessert!! YUM!!! I made 2---we've been eating it all week. That's fine with me though!

Jewelry from Grandma and Grandpa!

And more jewelry from us-- and an iTunes gift card. She's growing up! AHH! I seriously can't believe she's 10! Where did the time go? We love you Ella!

For Memorial Day we mostly cleaned out the garage and the van---(it's for sale now if anyone wants a mini van).  But we took a few hours off to go ride the motorcycle, bikes, and wiggle carts. FUN!

That's Livia on the wiggle cart by our new rig. :)

The boys on their muddy bikes. They had fun riding through mud puddles. Such boys.
We had a lot of fun together that afternoon. :)

Are we in Kansas anymore?

The boys got to go to Kansas with Adam last week and they had the time of their lives!!!! This is what they thought of the drive through Wyoming though.................................

They stopped in Colorado at my Aunt and Uncle's house and got to hold a bird that had flown into the window. Poor bird.

This was what they were up to while in Kansas.........They figured out how to catch bull frogs! They caught 16 total. And I have never seen such enormous frogs! GROSS! But......look at their faces (the boy's faces)---they are in HEAVEN!

 Their campsite

 And they caught a turtle too!

 The boys and Adam did some clean up work for my Grandma and put a screen on this picnic shelter. I can't wait to have a picnic out there this summer! With no bugs!

A view of the lake..... Such a beautiful place.

 Adam brought back some beautiful landscaping rocks from Kansas and we needed a place to put them--so our front yard got a make over.

 Preston had to help too.

 Our little island :)

 Doesn't that look nice?

I'm glad the boys got to go to Kansas- it's a trip they'll never forget. Adam had a great time camping, and spending some quality time with Aaron and Ashton.
