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!

Dance Festival

 Doran's school had their dance festival today. They called it so you think you can dance around the world. The kindergarten theme was mardi gras. Doran wasn't too into the dancing, but he had fun!

 We checked him out after the dances were all done and took the boys to get some lunch! It was another fun day!

Preschool graduation (the very last one!)

 Tonight Brock had his preschool graduation. He has been very excited for it.

 Doran wanted to sit on this chair because he said it was the most comfortable seat there.

 Once all the kids got there they all went out of the room and then came in singing a song and sat in their chairs. They shook their neighbors hand, which Brock loved!

 Brock loved doing the songs. He was singing and doing all the actions. They were so adorable.

 After they sang their entry song Miss Julie read an awesome poem and spotlighted a couple kids. Then they sang two more songs and then she did more kids. Brock was so cute when she called him up. She had every kid say what they wanted to be when they grow up. Brock stood up and said he wanted to work at the aquarium...

 And then he jumped back on his chair giggling!

 Then he stood up while Miss Julie finished talking about him. The whole time he just kept looking all around at everyone. He was loving the attention.

 She also said what they were most likely to be when they grow up, like a yearbook would. She said Brock was most likely to be a zoologist. She is right, the boy loves animals!

 They did two more songs. He got a little silly on the last one and pushed the hat over his eyes and didn't pull it back up.

 He still did the actions and singing though!

 Her treat was so cute. She got those little cake rolls for treats and tied a bow on them and they looked just like little diplomas!

 Yesterday was his last official day of preschool. He woke up this morning and asked if he got to go to kindergarten today. So cute.

 Doran told him he shouldn't be so excited about kindergarten. He said, "Brock all you ever do is read and write." He isn't the biggest fan of school. He has gotten so good at reading though. He passed another level on raz-kids. It is crazy the kind of books he is reading. They have three-four sentences per page! So proud of all his reading and writing! :) So lucky to have such good boys!
