Summer!

We have all been waiting for nice, warm summer days to arrive!  The days are long...the sun feels nice...and the kids love to be outside!

Filling up the pool for the first time...seems like it might be time for a bigger pool?  :)

Yes...Rookie could lose some weight he gained over the long winter!  :)

Two Wheels!

Finley wants so badly to ride her bike without training wheels...unfortunately, the days aren't long enough for us to put in the time needed to teach her!  :(  

She is patient with us and we know she'll get there!

Extra cheering from Daddy!

Smiles!

She's growing up so fast!

Can't get enough time on the lawn mower...

...but graciously take turns with one another!

Sing As We Spin!

Singing as they twirl....

....belting it out!  ;)

They all have so much fun together!

She Graduated!

Phew...we all survived our first full year of school!  :)  Finley passed Kindergarten with flying colors.  The year was full of many ups and downs, but she finished out strong.  I was able to volunteer on a few field trips - so much fun to see her interact with her friends and classmates.  Brent and I even ate lunch with her at school during her last week.  

Receiving her certificate.

Great job Finley!

Finley decided about a month before school was out that she REALLY wanted a scooter.  We made her a deal that if she had a good attitude, helped out when asked, and did her best in school, we would buy her a scooter.  After her graduation ceremony, we took her to Wal-Mart and let her choose one.  :)

Singing as she scoots along!

So much fun!

Finley agreed...couldn't leave this guy out!

He prefers the scooter over his bike!

Ha!  Cutie!
