Last day of school 2010

The last day of school at Wyoming elementary is always a fun party day. They have a big party afternoon complete with Moon Walkers, snow cones, popcorn, cotton candy, face painting, crazy hair, tattoos and lots of fun. We will miss the school during the summer, but look forward to the start of school in the fall!

Face painting

Luke gets crazy hair....look at all those colors!!

The had temporary tattoos...Luke loves his butterfly tattoo

Luke and his girlfriend Abby. They shared so much this year; hugs, hand holding, kisses on the cheek and wedding plans...we will have to see if they hold up!!

Luke, Travis and Hugh

Myah came along too...she loved watching all the activity!

Myah listens to a story read by Mrs. Lessard...

The kids were so excited for the end of the day and the start of Summer vacation!

Silly silly!!

Noah's 2nd grade class...silly picture. Mrs. Lessard

Como Zoo Field trip with Mrs. Lessard's 2nd grade class. Noah

Noah's class took a field trip to the Como Zoo. They were so excited, and although the weather had been good in the days leading up to the trip the weather that day was horrible. I remember standing outside to watch the Sparky the Seal show in the down pour. The day would not have been complete without Sparky the Seal though. Great Memories and three very nice little boys!

Zebras were inside out of the rain. What a memorable Zoo field trip.

The monkeys were all snuggled together to stay warm.

Even the giraffe refused to go outside in this cold POURING rain...he was very smart!

Silly picture....don't they really look silly??

It was so cold and wet that day...It rained the whole day. The boys wanted to see all the outdoor exhibits anyway....I get cold just remembering it!

Me, Carrie,

Noah, Logan and Caleb

It was a long day and Noah and Logan were tired on the way home on the bus...a little nap was in order!

Not sure who the monkey is in the middle, but aren't the boys cute??

One always needs a silly picture!!

Logan, Caleb and Noah at the Zoo Conservatory. We spent a lot of time there that day as it was dry and inside!

More t-ball from Luke

Love this picture, he's growing up so fast!!

Catcher Luke....isn't he cute?

Luke is the catcher....it was one of all the kids' favorite positions...When the last player was up and hit the ball the catcher would try to tag all the kids out as they tried to cross home.

Luke is all dressed for t-ball. It's his turn to bat, GO LUKE!!

The team bench, the boys were a little wild, but they are learning so much through out this season. Coach Chad is a wonderful coach and so patient with them!

Myah is crying because she had to share her bubbles and daddy isn't here to take her to the play ground. We had t-ball this summer on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Noah had baseball on Monday and Wednesday with practice on Saturday....a very busy schedule indeed, but the boys enjoy it!

Keep your eye on the ball.

Luke's up to bat....our little lefty!!

MOMS Club Banquet

We had the MOMS Club banquet at the Rendezvous House in Forest Lake. The theme was you favorite TV or famous mom. I went as Michelle Duggar (thankfully I don't have any pictures of me). I was pregnant with twins...J-America, and J-Arkansas . Others who showed up were Ma Ingalls, Peg Bundy, Kate Gosslin, Morticia Adams.

Debbie and Jill (er Peg Bundy) Two past presidents.
Peg and Kate (Becky was the treasurer)

Morticia, Luciana was the AVP and is taking over that job again! Looking forward to getting to know her better.

Ma (Rochelle) and Kate let down their hair and have some juice. :)

Good thing we had Ma there to help take care of all Kate's babies!! So much fun! We spent the night eating wonderful food and laughing. We played 80's themed music and Mary R. showed off her dancing skills to the Fame song....Looking forward to the year ahead as the MOMS Club president with my board! Luciana AVP, Mary MVP, Rochelle Secretary, and Sarah Treasurer. Thanks to the board going out, Jill President, Luciana AVP, Stacy J MVP, Becky Treasurer, and Rochelle Secretary. They certainly left the bar high for us to follow.

Outdoor fun...

The kids enjoy some playtime with grandma Helen. They really enjoy when she comes and are very disappointed when she needs to leave.

Myah loves all of her swim suits and swimming....in and out and around the pool is what she does...now when we go to grandma and grandpa's pool it is a different story!!

I love this swim suit. It is a size 6-12 month...she is 22 months old and still fits in it....We have so much fun in our back yard in the pool!

Summertime fun with AJ

Myah and AJ are already to go outside for a dip in the pool. Sunscreen on, hats on, swim suits on, nothing more to do, but take....
More pictures! They almost look like they're lining up for their mug shots. Just wait...it gets cuter!

A quick kiss before we go, it must be puppy love!

Oh oh...now Myah is sucking in her stomach. Not to worry honey, you are so beautiful...AJ doesn't seem to mind.

Now they seem to ask, are we done with pictures so we can go outside....alright, let's go!

The bathing beauties think about going in the pool, but choose to dump a couple of shovelfuls of dirt instead...They sure do look cute in their swim wear though!

Getting ready to go down the slide. AJ does not believe in ladies first! He's going to beat Myah out and go down first!

Myah wants to play catch, but AJ is not game!

The quickly start playing house, but they cannot agree on whether or not the door should be open or shut so they have to find something else to play with.

Lake house, Memorial Day Weekend

Dick drives Luke around in his golf cart. All the joys of being at Grandma and Grandpa's lake house.

Grandpa takes Myah out on the 4-wheeler...she just can't get enough of the rides!

Daddy and Myah look out on the lake....what a beautiful view!

Myah looks on as Jeff and Barb jet ski....she didn't want anything to do with going along with them. I can't say I was upset!

Grandpa, Uncle Bob, Daddy and Myah enjoy the lake view, each other's company and some fishing tales...hope the fish are biting!

Myah and Daddy wait for Luke and Jeff to come back on the jet ski. Myah hates this life jacket and just wants to get it off.

Luke and Jeff arriving on the Jet ski.

Noah doing his Cub Scout salute as he watches for Jeff and Luke. He cannot wait for his turn on the jet ski.

Luke watches as Noah leaves with Jeff on the jet ski. He said he had such a great time. Saw lots of things out there on Leech Lake.

Jeff, Barb and Noah on the jet skis. It is amazing to me that they can ride on these things and not get wet. It is a good thing they didn't get wet though, the water was very cold!

Jeff and Noah...Noah loves riding on the jet ski. Jeff can't go fast enough for him!

Myah enjoyed her first s'more of the year....it was really tasty!

Grandpa brings the kids out on another 4-wheeler ride, only this time Myah fell asleep. Not sure how she can do that, but she did!

Joan and Myah. Myah is looking for Blue the cat, but unfortunately Blue does not like kids and always runs to hide when he sees her coming!

The boys show off their Lego flags...very patriotic!

One day we spent quite a bit of time looking for Myah, we couldn't find her anywhere. Then, all of a sudden we heard a little giggle and looked on the back of the 4-wheeler, here is how she hung off the back of the 4-wheeler. I was running down to the lake to look for her when Jeff found her. What a stinker!

Grandpa takes the kids on a ride on the 4-wheeler. Myah just can't get enough and begs for a ride every time we are outside. What lucky kids we have to be able to enjoy all these wonderful things!

The harbor and front of the town homes that we love so much and call the lake house. It is such a beautiful place to go!
