Memorial weekend and last week of school!

 We have had a fun week packed full of fun! On Sunday we had a picnic with Grandma and Grandpa Engman and some of our cousins at Neptune Park. The boys had so much fun playing with their cousins! Grandpa asked everyone to wear purple because there is a little girl from his and grandma's home town in Iowa that is missing and her favorite color is purple. Poor little Kathlyn hasn't been found yet.
 Monday we went to see Poppy's grave. Last year the boys were really freaked out about being there. This year they were better. They really liked the horse on the headstone. Brock tried to dig a little bit to see if he could find him. I was a bit mortified. After we went to see Granny and hung out with Uncle Brooksy for awhile.
 Tuesday Brock had some killer allergies come on. His eyes kept puffing and he was sneezing like crazy. Poor kid! They didn't bother him to bad once the Yakiwchuk's got in town! They get to stay for the whole month because Blake is in Oklahoma City doing radar training for air traffic control. (He is there right now and a tornado touched down tonight!)
 Little blue eyed nephew William.
 Tuesday night mom and Papa K took all their daughters and Granny, Adam, and Jayce to Les Mis. They got us front row seats!
 Jayce loved looking down at the orchestra and the conductor. During the show you could see the actors spitting like crazy. She would look at me and giggle when there was a really big spray!
Granny, Jen, and Jayce!
Mom and Papa K!
Jayce and I
The screen before the show started. It was so amazing to be so close to the actors. I thought plays like this were more about the singing. Being up close though and being able to actually see their faces and the emotions on them was awesome. The acting definitely made it even more powerful.
 The next day Doran had his kindergarten field day and teddy bear picnic. He was excited to bring his monkey. It is the only stuffed animal he really cares about. He got it in the emergency room when he broke his arm.
 We brought Jayce and Audrey with us to the picnic. We all had fun!
Little Kamree had fun with her friends too!
Doran said there was only one race for the kindergarteners and he fell twice during it. He didn't care too much though.
This was my last week of babysitting Audrey after two years. I have been really sad because I am going to miss her so much. Seth, the boys, and I all love her so much. She has been so fun!
 Doran and Ms. Petersen! He loved his cute kindergarten teacher.
First grader! He has a big year coming up. He will start a chinese immersion program at a new school in Saratoga Springs. He is excited about it, but I think it is going to be pretty tough.
 We got a bowling pass for the summer and we all got cute new bowling shoes! We did the math and as long as we go bowling once a week the shoes will pay for themselves. We have already gone three times this week. :) Brock and Doran both had new high scores today! Doran got 115 and Brock got 122! I didn't break 100. ;)

 We took Jayce bowling and she was awesome! At first she was a little bugged about being in her pajamas, but once she got a strike and kicked my butt she was happy!
 Yesterday Gavin and Olivia had a birthday party.  I made the cake for Gavin.


 We brought Claire and she loved it! She loves Seth's mom. When she saw her pull in she took off running to her car and yelling 'Grandma! Grandma!'

She was the last one to hit the pinata. She got in some pretty good hits and got lots of candy in her bag.
We have had a really fun week and we still have one day to go!
