PLAY DAY

Lainey is through with Pre-K!!!  She is very excited to be able to go to Avery's school and go to all day Kindergarden next year.  

But she will miss her good friends in her class.  

We went to her class where they put on a show of nursery rhymes. 

 She was the cow that jumped over the moon.  

This is her cute friend Sally.

Lainey with her friend Cameron.

Here is Phillip.  They always had fun together. 

 It is sad that none of these kids will be at Lainey's school next year :( 

But I know she will make new friends.

Mrs. Moore was an excellent teacher.  Lainey learned so much.  Acutally, Avery  had her three years ago for Pre-K too.  So we knew how awesome she was.  

I'm proud of Lainey and all that she learned this year.  

WATER DAY

It seems like the last two weeks of Avery school, every day was a party.  One of those many fun days was a water day.  They had tons of fun things to do outside that involved getting wet.  

Here she is on one.  

They made a water slide out of their playground slide.  

This is Avery with her most fabulous teacher Mrs. Gonzalez.  We loved her soo much.  

She was a GREAT teacher and loved all the kids in her class.

This is Kylie, Avery's very best friend in her class.

When she got home from school, I asked her what was her favorite thing she did at water day.  She said she her favorite thing was when they ate popsicles and got sprayed with the hose. 

A WET GRADUATION

Last night I attended my niece's high school graduation at Highland HS.  

It rained the whole time.

We all were wet but we did not wuss out like some others and stayed till the end.   We needed to stay till the end, cause Bethanie's speach was after they read all the graduates names.  She kept it short and sweet.  She got to have them move the tassels over to the other side and then got to yell and have everyone through their hats in the air.  She did a great job.  She also was in the choir and they sung two songs.  

Last year it rained the night of graduation and they moved everyone inside and the parents weren't even in the same room with the graduates.  So that was not as fun for everyone.  My nephew, who is on a mission right now, was one of them.  So at the beginning of this year all the seniors took a vote, to either have graduation at ASU, or if it rains to continue to have it outside at their own school.  They voted to have it at their school no matter what.  So we all got to sit in the rain last night. But, it wasn't so bad though.  I think I would have it rain on me then be 105 degrees.

Rain on graduation night two years in a row in Arizona, who would have thunk.

Bethanie was the very first name they read to graduate, because she was the Senior Class President, that was cool.

Here's my family sitting in the rain.

Bethanie giving her speech.  

I had to shush come loud people behind us during it.   I turned around and said, SHSH that is her daughter up there.  They roled their eyes at me.  They were rude.

We found her on the field when it was all done.  

Congratulations Bethanie!!! And good luck at BYU next year.

We decided it was finally time to cut Jolie's hair.

I know, I know. How many pictures can you take of a child's hair cut?  

I took a lot.  

Now it is pretty cute.  

Thanks aunt Jayme for making it so cute. You are the best!

HOLY BANANA-SPLIT BATMAN!

Earlier this week, I mentioned to Avery that I have all the ingredients to make a banana split.  She asked  "What's a banana split"? 

 Then I HAD to make her and Lainey's first ever banana split!

So I made it family size so we could all share.  

Ingredients for out banana split were:  1 banana (cut in half length wise),  3 scoops rocky road ice cream, 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberries, hershey chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and pecans.  

We all got a spoon and dug in.

I think we finished it in less than three minutes.  

YUMM-OOOO!! 

 Now you want one too, huh.

why would anyone be for this?
