Preschool Graduation!

Joshua graduated preschool last week! Such an exciting day for our little guy. He got to sing a few songs with his class (see videos below) before walking across the stage to recieve his diploma. Each student had to speak into the microphone and tell the audience what he would like to be when he grows up... to which Joshie replied, "a policeman." The highlight of the day was water day, immediately following the ceremony. Isn't the best way to celebrate a milestone diving down a giant water slide? Woohoo! Josh is proud to enter Kindergarten next year, and we couldn't be more proud of him. We love you, Joshua!

San Diego - Beach and Zoo

While in San Diego attending the beautiful wedding of C&J, we were lucky enough to do a few, fun family things as well! Since pictures speak a thousand words, here's our pics of the beach and San Diego Zoo. A special thanks to Steph and Jason for meeting us at the zoo, and then dining with us at Lucha Libre (YUM). A great time was had by all!!!



California Cool

We had a blast at C&J's wedding (more to come on that). The kids looked so snazzy in their suits for the wedding. A few family pics at the event turned into a little photoshoot of our Beach Boys. Ladies, eat your hearts out!

Celebrations

We've been celebrating a lot of fun stuff lately!

The biggest thing was Jacob's 7th birthday party. He finally got his Chuck E. Cheese party that he'd been dreaming of. Truth be told, when we pulled up into the parking lot on the day of his party, he screamed, "I'M SO HAPPY!!!!" So, we might be doing all future parties at Chuck E. Cheese. The kids had a BLAST!

Brothers can't wait to par-tay

Jacob's good friend Megan got to come

Josh cheered for Chuck when he made his appearance!

Jacob got to be "King For A Day"

And, let's not forget the coveted Ticket Blaster... grab as many as you can!

Pretty much the most fun this kid has ever had!!

We also had fun celebrating family birthdays this month: Aunt Cathy, Papa, Maddy, Uncle Kyle... Speaking of celebrations, we're off to San Diego this weekend to celebrate the wedding of our good family friend, Chris Evans. We're also going to meet up with Jason and Steph to visit the San Diego Zoo! Very exciting stuff.

P.S. Josh is loving t-ball, which has been going well. He sometimes gets to play first base, and almost always hits the ball to the back fence. He also prefers when we call him "Ichiro" when he's in his full Mariner's gear:
