Graduating from Preschool

Where did this year go? It seems like just yesterday I was scrambling to find a preschool for Aly to go to. It was a great year for Aly and she made some good friends, the girl in the blue is one. We are excited that she might go to school with her friend at East Olympia. But we must wait till Aug to see if she can get in. I know God has it all under his control which school she will attend. But I tried my hardest to send her where we wanted her to go. But now we must wait for God's perfect plan.


This is Aly being awarded her flower hat. She actually went up front with no prompts from anyone. For once I wasn't the mom pulling her daughter up front. They said she made some big strides from the beginning of the year. We are so proud of our adorable girl.
Look at her strutting her stuff, she was proud of herself too.

I wonder if this will be one of the pictures that gets put in her annual for her Senior page? I sure hope it takes a really long time for that day to come. I love my little girl.

Pappy's B-day

So I found these pictures they are a month old or so but worth sharing!

Pappy has some sort of sticker on the middle of his forehead. I think it resembles whatever that dot is called that a women from India wears?


Aly taking our picture, Brian was not able to be there he was busy working. We missed him.

Smores

We had a bonfire this past weekend. We made smores, delicious and messy. Aly wanted to cook everyone's smores for them so we had to keep eating them.
Blake was wearing his pack pack the whole time? I am not sure why? We are practicing for our camping trip, coming up in July!

Grandma Witherow's Memorial Service

My grandmother passed away so we traveled to Walla Walla for her service. It was a celebration of her life. She lived to be 93 and now she is in heaven! It was a fun time with the family who we haven't seen since her 90th bday party.

Aly was running running running after the service in the sanctuary having fun with her 2nd cousins.

Blake loves the chicks.

Blake loves the chicks, almost chickens. They are big already. But Blake still likes them and picks them up. I don't know if they like being picked up but he does it. Here is is trying to feed them bird seeds.


This last picture was almost 2 weeks earlier and they have gotten many more feathers.

Blake is a Big Boy!

Blake decided about 3 weeks ago that he was ready to be a big boy. Now he is peeing and finally pooping in the big boy potty!! Ya we are so excited!!
He loves to mow the lawn like his daddy. He just pushes his lawn mower over and over the yard, it is pretty cute. Then he also entertains himself by swiffering the floor. The kids are so funny!



This is the kids planting the garden, so we have no idea where the vegetables are going to come up. I tried to show them the rows to plant them but Blake just made his own rows??
