Memorial Day

I've been thinking about upgrading my camera recently. My dear friend lent me her camera to try out. I admit I had as much fun playing with features as I did taking pictures! I feel like this camera made my amateur pictures look pretty good! What do you think?  



I had a ton of fun playing with the shutter speed!

End of Year With Evan

Evan had an end of year field trip to Vulcan and Sloss Furnace. It was a fun, exhausting day and I'm so glad I got to go along for the ride! Oh, and if you want to know ANYTHING about iron or iron making just ask Evan. He is seriously an expert. 

Here Evan is in front of a sample of Vulcan's foot. 
That iron giant has a very interesting history! 

4 terrified third graders 130 feet up! They were pretty brave! 

A view from the top of Vulcan...

Vulcans backside... not to shabby. ;) 

Evan really didn't feel better until he was inside the tower instead of out in the open. I was proud of him for walking all the way around before he headed for the stairs. 

Evan's awesome class! 

Next we took a trip over to Sloss Furnace. A delightfully haunted factory where they used to make iron. The kids all posed around the sign until someone came out and yelled at them. Apparently the sign is a historical monument. Oops. 

Hanging out by the gate... Evan and I both thought it was really cool. 

Sloss...

Me and my buddy in front of a cool sculpture! 

Silly girls. 

We were all so tired after the field trip that a few kids decided they needed a nap. I think Micah was really asleep! 


After the field trip I picked up Eric and the boys and came back for some balloon fun! Mrs. Warmack even had an extra Popsicle for Patrick. 

It started raining so we ran inside so Eric could finish making balloons. 

Reid and Logan sat quietly and colored.
 I think they will both do well in school next year!

The whole class with their balloons! 

All in all it was a great day! I am so glad Evan was in this wonderful classroom this year. They are a pretty great group of kids and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher for Evan. We love Mrs. Warmack!

Reid's Graduation

I can't believe my little buddy is graduating from preschool! He was so excited for the ceremony!

Here is a random picture of Patrick and Eric waiting for Reid to do his part. 

Cute Addison. That girl can sing! 

On stage...

Reid and Ms. Becky! He loves her so much! 

Lorelai had Ms. Becky too! What a blessing she has been in our lives. 
I hope Logan gets her in the fall! 

All the kids love Reid! 

Proud parents!!


They've all grown so much since Evan's graduation from preschool... 
On the other hand, some things never change!  

Congratulations Reid! You did it!

Froggy's

Reid had his graduation party at Froggy's! I think he had a great time!

Peek-a-boo!


So tall...

Pizza! I've never seen Reid eat so fast! 

Patrick really loved the slide!
