Violin recital!

Dorothy had her first recital last weekend, she did so well and LOVED the attention!!! She played Twinkle Twinkle little star and was the star of the show!
Playing her song!

I asked Dorothy where she wanted to go after her recital and she yelled "yogurt place!"  So we all went out for yogurt!

Swimming Lessons!

Dorothy and Preston just finished swimming lessons; they LOVED every second of them!!! I felt a little fried because Violet was obsessed with walking and teetering on the edge of the pool the entire time!!
Sorry the pictures are so blurry they are all from my iPhone!

Memorial weekend!

Memorial weekend was a blast!! We took the kids to the cemetery on Sunday and walked around (we even ran into some relatives) we talked to the kids about this holiday and what it represents. We went over to the war memorial and I was surprised by my emotional reaction to it. So many flags for just one little city, I am filled with gratitude and appreciation for all of those who have lost their lives for our freedom. The next morning we got up early and headed out for breakfast, then onto Evan and Kelly's for some 4-wheeling fun!!! We rode around for about 4 hours and went through some pretty hairy/scary/fun times! It was a BLAST!!! Then he headed home cleaned up and went to the BBQ at Allison's. So much fun!
There are a few James Wylie Thomas's there!

Breakfast at Magleby's yumm-o!

Getting all ready!

Geared-up and ready for our 4 hour ride!

Feeling a little saddle-sore we stopped to let the kids run around a bit!

Pressy-boy who loved 'driving' the 4-wheeler!

I know I look a little beat-down but this is T-bone and I on top of the mountain we hiked!

Yeah, T-bone and I hiked up that!

Headed home down the big hills! 
(It tickled my tummy like a roller coaster!)

Silly little boys!

Goofy girls at the BBQ!

Dorothy's graduation!

Our little Dorothy is growing up way to fast!!  She finished kindergarten today, it was bitter-sweet.  She is such a little ham and loves performing!  Here are some pictures of the big event!
Dorothy during her speaking part... she was first to go and said "We would like to welcome you here to remember our kindergarten year."

During graduation Pressy was entertained with Diego on the iPhone!

Here is a picture of Violet who has recently become obsessed with babies!  Here she is attacking Gigi during graduation saying "baby baby" as she hits/pokes at her eyes!

Dorothy and her wonderful teacher!
(who is expecting a little girl ~
Dorothy is soooo excited about it!)
Congratulations little Dorothy!!! (stop growing up!!)
