Class of 2026

Is that right?  It hardly seems possible that Braison and Lilian will be starting kindergarten this year.  Or that they graduated from pre-kindergarten today.  Bittersweet.
Since they are in different classes, they were also in different graduations.  Lilian graduated this morning.

The whole class

Patiently waiting

Starting the program

She had a hard time keeping her hat on with all that jumping around!

Dino Dig Day

Wedding of "Q" & "U"

Lilian was the only lefty

Dancing fool

The only mom that didn't get a hug with her flower :o(

With her teachers, Miss Jan and Miss Kristi

Proud of our little girl!

Lilian did so well this year, her teachers said that she will have no problems next year in kindergarten.  Her social skills are unmatched, imagine that :o)  We are so very proud of her!

Braison's graduation was held a little later in the day.

With his class

Dancing

Being a monster

Being a ham

Alphabet song

I got a hug :o)

Applauding other graduates

With his teachers, Miss Kim and Miss Mikaila

Braison is reading at an advanced level, he is advanced in math, and everything else.  So, no worries that he won't be ready for kindergarten.  We are so proud of our little man!

Videos

So, I have been playing around with some software and made little videos of each of the kids first 5 years.  I'm an amateur, so cut me a little slack when critiquing.
  

Shenanigan Recap

A recap of our last few weeks....

Soccer wrapped up, and everyone survived.  Barely.  Grandpa captured some wonderful shots during some of the games, I will devote a whole post to soccer and include them very soon.

The sun FINALLY came out and warmed up things long enough for us to enjoy some time outside, running through the sprinklers.

We celebrated Mother's Day.  It was a wonderful day full of awesome surprises and lots and lots of love.

We also celebrated this woman.  Who turned 93 years young.  As you can see, we celebrated in style.

The weather has been perfect for getting in some quality hot tub relaxation time too.

And last, but most certainly not least, we got to see some sights that you can only see if you are in exactly the right place at exactly the right time.

Yes, that dog is wearing a helmet.  Must be one smart pooch.

Do you know...

Do you know Lilian?  I mean, really really know Lilian?  If not, you can just enjoy the photos.  If so, please try to keep your heart beating while looking at what I am about to show you...

Yes, those are real, live dogs.
