A Week's Worth of Stuff :)

Last week was a busy one for us.  Nothing unusual with it it being the end of the school year. 
Colson received a couple of awards at the end of the school year for being an outstanding student.
We went to his 5th grade continuation.  Looking sharp!
I can't believe he's going to be a 6th grader next year!
Walking up to the podium to receive his "diploma".
Shaking hands with the principal and teachers.
My boy is so big!
The class of of 2019.
The big exit.
I'll have two kids in middle school next year.  When did I get so old?!
Lovin' my sweet boy.
With teacher, Mrs. Christy, who is absolutely amazing!
With best buds, Jared and Mac.

The same day, Vivi had her picnic lunch at the park with her class.  The grandmas were so nice to go to this with her since Trent and I were at Colson's continuation.
Loving the park.
Vivi on her last day of school with her teacher, Mrs. Johnson.  Colson had her for a 1st grade teacher as well.  We're hoping we can keep the trend going and that Preston will have her when he is in first grade.  We love her to pieces!
Here is our cupcake for the week.  Colson chose molten chocolate cupcakes.  Super yummy!
We have had some gorgeous sunsets this past week.  Even more beautiful than normal.
Jilly had her first ride in the hummer.  She laughed the whole time.  :)
T had some fun borrowing the neighbor girl's purple scooter.  He cracks me up to no end.
Trent turns 37 tomorrow.  He is such a good dad, he is spending his birthday waking up at 5:00 am to head off to scout camp with Trenton.  Since he and T are going to be gone, and since most of the rest of the family are going to be out of town this week, we celebrated last week.  We also celebrated Father's Day.
Blowing out the candles.  It came as a shock to me when they put the number 37 on the cake.  I could have sworn he was only turning 36.  How did I miss a year?  My mom made a super yummy tiramisu dessert, Trent's favorite.
After the BBQ/birthday/Father's Day celebrations, we all went to the park where we played on the playground, swung on the swings, rode scooters and long boards, took Ziggy for walks, and played lots of tennis.  (I couldn't believe how sore my arm was the next day!)  Jilly is getting so close to walking!  She could totally do it if she wanted to, but honestly, I think it is too slow for her.  She crawls at lightning speeds.  She'll take a few steps, then drop to her hands and knees and cruise around like a greyhound chasing after a rabbit.  I'm sure once she has figured out how to run, she'll give up crawling for good.  :)

We are so ecstatic that school is finally out for all the kids.  We have already been to the pool several times, had movie nights, lazed around reading books, had water fights with the hose, and have spent hours playing outside riding bikes and scooters and such.  Our summer is off to a great start and we are enjoying so much being able to spend time together.
