Safety Town and Summer Bowling

The girls finished their Safety Town summer camp! They learned so much and had lots of fun with their student teacher Gabriella.

Cousin Ella is in town visiting so we met up with her for more bowling fun! Here is the threesome being silly in the parking lot. They always have a great time together. :)

Festival of Balloons

Lauren, Justus, and Emily met up at the Tigard Festival of Balloons for an afternoon of carnival rides and snacks. They had such a fun time together and were able to ride on more of the rides this year since everyone is taller. :)

Lavender Farm

We drove out to a lavender farm this week to pick lavender! 

The farm provided scissors and baskets for harvesting.

Start of Summer- Piano Recital, Safety Town, and Playground Fun

Our summer is off to a great start! Emily (left) and Lauren (right) recently participated in their first Oregon Music Academy recital. They each performed "Lakeside Dream" on the piano and they both did an excellent job! They wore their blue dresses to the recital to symbolize lake water.

Kindergarten Graduation

Lauren (left) and Emily (right) graduated from kindergarten last week! We took these photos during the last week as we walked to school.

The graduation ceremony took place in the school cafeteria. Here are the graduates walking up to the stage.

The class sang a medley of cute songs!

Celebrating with DD and MAWS!

The graduation ceremony was a few days before the actual last day of school. When the girls finished their official last day of school, we went out for ice cream to celebrate!

Celebrating Amanda's Birthday

This weekend our friend Amanda had her 6th birthday celebration at The Oregon Golf Club! 

The celebration was so much fun! The girls really enjoyed the hip hop dancing. 

Lauren chose a butterfly for her face painting design. 

Emily chose a rainbow.
