Peter Pan Recital

August 8th and 9th Katie had her dance recital!!! As usual Mrs. K puts on the BEST recital in town. She is truly amazing. Katie and her best friend Emily have been taking ballet classes from Mrs. K now for about a year and a half. This is her 3rd dance recital!!! The recitals are always at Nicholas Horn Theatre at CSN Cheyenne campus. They usually have 2-3 dress rehersals there the week of the recital. Mrs. K is very serious about this, and it shows during the recital. This year's theme was Peter Pan. Katie was a fairy. It was a lot of fun, and she loved it!!!!
And thank you aunt Jen, Miles, grandma Mira and Kaya for coming to it!!!!




Kinder graduation/Little Red Hen play!

Our baby girl, Katie-bird graduated kindergarten August 6th. The day her kindergarten class had a Little Red Hen play in their classroom. It was so CUTE!!! Ms. Kern did such good job. The kids practiced it for a month or so, and had to have their lines memorized. Katie was one of the chickens.



On Thursday, August 6th was Katie's kindergarten graduation. I can't believe that my baby is now a first grader. Time flies!!!! She had an amazing 1st year in school. She had a great teacher, and made lots of friends. Well, she knew most of her classmates from church, and pre-school. Katie is growing up to be such a fun, smart, outgoing, fun girl. She loves school, and loves hanging out with her friends. Katie we are so proud of you!!!!





Katie and her BFF Emily

End of the school year!

Well, July has been a busy month for us. Drazen continued with legion ball for most of the month. Braxton and Carlee finished school. Braxton graduated from 5th grade and is moving up to middle school in the fall. (I can't believe it) He had a great year, with a great teacher, Ms. Dean. It was also her last year teaching, as she moved to Fine E.S. to be a librarian. Braxton finished the school year with straight A's. We are so proud of you Braxton and of all of your accomplishments in elementary school. You are a great young man, and we love you so much.
Carlee finished 3rd grade this year. She had Mrs. Schroeder. She is an amazing teacher. She was also Braxton's teacher for 3rd grade. Carlee couldn't wait to have her. She is so cute, fun, and most importantly a GREAT teacher!!!!! I absolutely love her and can't wait for Katie to be in 3rd grade!!!(anyone that needs a good 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Schroeder comes HIGHLY recommended!!!))) Carlee had a great year. We are so proud of you Carlee. You are growing up to be such a fun, beautiful, smart, funny young lady. We are so proud of you. Carlee also finished the year off with straight A's.

Girls weekend/Boys weekend

This past weekend I was able to have Girls weekend with just my two girls. The boys went with some friends to an Angels game in Anaheim.
We had so much fun. We slept in on Saturday, and then got ready, picked up my mom, and went to the mall for some school shopping and to go to Build A Bear. Carlee and Katie each got a new bear, and some new clothes for school. Dillard's had a "Kids Day", so they had activities. They had a hula hoop contest, with prizes (Webkinz accessories), face painting, drawing for a backpack, etc. After that we went to McDonald's for lunch, and then back to Grandma Mira's for swimming and dinner. We ended up swimming until about 9 p.m. It was so fun and relaxing.
On Sunday, we went to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, with some friends. The movie was great, but it was LONG!!!!!






The boys went to Anaheim to an Angels game, with a friend of Drazen's and his dad. They had a great time, to say the least!!! Angels are Drazen and Braxton's FAVORITE team. And they had great seats. They sat in the 2nd and 3rd row from the field at 3rd base. And of course, got to see security in full action. I guess some guy went on the field, and got arrested immediately. Why do people have to be so dumb? That didn't phase these Angels fans though. Angels won the game.
After the game, they went to dinner, and some night swimming at the pool in their hotel. On Sunday, they just got up, had breakfast, and drove home.

This is a memorial for #34 Adenhart.






Jeffy's baby!

Well, Jeff's truck was 5 years old and reached 91,000 miles, so he decided it was time to go looking for a new truck. He looked on the internet last Sunday night, and Monday night we went and looked at trucks. On Tuesday morning, Jeff became a proud owner of a brand new 2009 F150 FX4. The truck is so nice!!!It has a leather seats, fully loaded. I was able to drive it on Tuesday, but he couldn't wait for me to get home, so he can take his new baby for a ride. He is so excited!!!!




51's game

For Drazen's end of the season party from Peccole Little League, we all went to a
51's game last week. Drazen and his team went down to the field, and had their name called out when they ran to the position with the player from 51's. It was cool. At the 7th inning stretch Drazen and his two buddies from the team went into the press box to sing "Take me out to the Ball Game"! His coach said that the two boys were kind of shy and wasn't sure if they would do it, but that Drazen said he would. Drazen has NO SHAME for things like that. He will do anything. I videoed them, but you can't really hear it. Maybe, this was Drazen's big break!!! American Idol here he comes!! haha


Swimming

I guess we are finding things to do now that baseball is over. Swimming at Grandma Mira's is always fun and full of adventure ( for those of you that know my mom. Jen and I packed up the kids a couple of weeks ago and went to cool off in her pool. Hannah and Neuman were here also, so that made it extra fun for the kids.
