Bye Bye Zockolls

At the end of May we said goodbye to my brother Adam's family. He got a promotion with Apple in Reno. We had a little goodbye breakfast at my parents right before they took off. It was bittersweet thing. Sad because now my kids don't have cousins by them, but sweet because this is a great opportunity for them. I am also jealous that they get nice cool weather in the summer. We hope to see them lots so my kids don't forget who they are :)

AZ Cousins

Over Memorial weekend Luke's brothers family came from Arizona to visit. Our kids are all about the same age and they get along so well. Sammy loves being by girls and soaked up every minute of it. Parker also loved being with his cousin Ashley. He still talks about her. You could say he has a crush. We hiked, went on a double date, watched the water show, and went to a new splash water park. My kids were so sad to see them go. We love having visitors!

Let's Play Music

Sammy and Parker were in a music class all last year. My sister in law is a teacher in Arizona and has told me great things about this program. I found someone here who taught it and enrolled them in the class. It's called Let's Play Music. Sammy of course loved it! It was right in her element. Parker liked it and he was actually really good at it, but he just lost interest so fast. They had a recital at the end of the year. It was fun to see what they learned throughout the year. There are 3 levels and every year they go up one. I decided not to put Parker in it next year. I think the teacher was relieved:)

Family Night

Before it got deathly hot here we had a family night at a new park by our house. We packed some food and had a little picnic. It was such a fun night. The kids ran around like crazies. Behind the park is a little hiking trail that was perfect for all 4 kids. It really was a perfect night. No fighting or whining. I love nights like these.

Sammy's Kinder Graduation

My little Sammy girl is officially a 1st grader. I am so sad I will be losing my girl all day. Although she has been Miss Attitude lately. She is my little helper and Noah's loves being around her. She had a little graduation for Kindergarten. She did a great job and we loved having Mrs. Henn again. Nick had her and Parker gets her too. Sammy really excelled in Kindergarten. She was definitely a star student! We are so proud of her.
