Fun at the Park, End of School Stuff, and Bambi!

 On Sunday, Chris and I played baseball at the park with Quintin. We even got a couple of neighborhood kids involved. They had a ball...literally.

Quintin brought some end-of-the-year stuff home from preschool. This drawing just makes me happy. 

I got to make snow cones for field day at the elementary school. J and J will be in Jr. High next year!

Quintin had his last day of preschool today. They ended the year with a bang...games, activities, cotton candy, and a bouncy house. He'll be a big kindergartner next year!

J and J had their last day of school today, too. They each received awards at a special ceremony.

I found this precious baby deer under our picnic table this morning!

The first shall be last...here is Quintin's first day of preschool last August:

...and here is his last day of preschool today:

Time flies! Have a great summer, everyone!

Seventeen!

 Today is this guy’s birthday! 

Happy birthday, Ashton! We love you so much! 

Congratulations, Adrian!

 Yesterday was Adrian's last day of high school, and last night, we had his graduation party. I seriously don't know where the time has gone! It seems like just yesterday that I walked into the elementary lunch room and heard him say proudly to one of his friends, "See that lady over there? That's my mom!" Unfortunately, I was so busy serving food last night that I didn't take a single picture of him or people at his party! 😢 These were taken when I was setting up...

A Concert and a College Grad...

We enjoyed Ashton and Malia's first and last choir concert of the year. Both of them sang in quartets and did a super job!

Technically, Shana already graduated with her bachelor's degree in December and has been working on her master's degree this spring. Her class's ceremony was in May, however, so she finally received her graduation regalia. Congrats, my dear, on all your hard work and accomplishments!

Prom 2021...

 Last weekend, Adrian and Caydence went to prom together. So hard to believe he'll be graduating in a few short weeks!

Ready for Kindergarten!

 Early this week, Quintin got to ride the school bus from preschool to the elementary building.

Today, he had kindergarten registration.

This week, he also enjoyed his first ice cream of the year from the Double D and made me a fabulous Mother's Day gift:

I love my Q!!!💕 Makes me teary-eyed to think of sending him off to school next year!
