School's Out
School's out! And this is what we plan on doing all summer.
I have to admit that I was a little disappointed that Jayden didn't have a graduation this year like he did last year. I guess it is just for the kindergartners. They had real gowns and hats for them, and it was just adorable. Maybe I'll get around to posting his kindergarten graduation pictures since they didn't do anything fun like that this year.

Teddy Bear Picnic
Yesterday was Jacklyn's last day of Preschool, so Addison and I went down to her school and watched her graduation. It was a lot of fun and Addison really enjoyed it. First, the kids sang sons to us and then got their diplomas. Then we had some fun activities like giving your teddy bear a checkup, throwing beanbags and getting a prize, and "going on a bear walk" which was really an obstacle course. The kids all like that one the best. After the graduation, we all went outside and had our teddy bear picnic. We all laid our blankets out on the grass and started eating our lunches. While we were eating, the teachers passed out bear rice crispy treats and punch for everyone. Then it was time to say good-byes. Jacklyn's friend Mackenzie came over and said good-bye. Her and Jacklyn were the only girls in their class. Jacklyn was the only girl out of ten boys in her class until Mackenzie came, so they were best buds. Jacklyn's bus driver was telling me this. I told her Jacklyn was use to being the only girl, because at home she has no sisters and two brothers. Her bus driver thought that was funny and said Jacklyn gets spoiled a lot because she's the only girl. Jacklyn really loved going to school. I think she will miss it, but it won't be too long until summer school starts. All right, I need to go. I hope that everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend!

Happy Birthday Jacklyn!
Today is Jacklyn's Birthday. We went down to the store today and she got to pick out a birthday present from the birthday money that she got from Nana and Grandma Kendall. She picked a Snow White doll with the plastic clothes. She was very excited. Thank you for the birthday money everyone. Since Micah had to work late tonight we decided to celebrate her birthday on Saturday. It was really fun. I have posted the pictures for you to see. We got a birthday cake for her, and watched her open presents. She was very excited, even Jayden and Addison were excited. I think she had a great birthday. Thanks again everyone for the the birthday wishes.

Backyard Camping
We are all very excited at our house right now. It is spring. The weather has finally warmed up and we have been spending more time outdoors. Micah pulled the fire pit out of the shed last weekend and set it up so we could have cozy evenings by the fire. So on Monday night we decided for family night to sit outside and talk and make smores. Jacklyn and Addison loved roasting marshmallows and eating them. They weren't too found of the smores; they just ate everything separately. I think Micah and I ate a ton of smores though. We wanted to do it again this week, but we ran out of food. The next day Jayden told me while I was getting him ready for school that he likes hanging out by the campfire and talking. I told Micah and he was pretty excited. I think we are starting to like the idea of backyard camping more and more. Easy, cheap, near-by bathrooms, etc. Well, I need to go and get kids ready for bed. Bye.
