Happy Father's Day!

 Because I attended a conference in Florida this past weekend, we celebrated Father's Day a little early in our household. The girls helped me make dinner for daddy and it was a fun night.  
 On Sunday, John and the kids enjoyed lunch with the Weatherwax's.  The kids enjoyed their traditional ride on the golf cart.  Afterwards, John played golf with his Dad.
Grandpa W and the kiddos.
John met my parents at the Outlets (our halfway spot) with surprise guest Hailey for brunch. 

Grandparents Rule!


Our kiddos are very lucky to have such fun Grandparents!  Grandma and Grandpa Weatherwax took the kids out for an afternoon of golf at the Memorial Tournament. They got their hats autographed.
The kiddos went to Cincinnati during the golf tournament, so John and I could entertain our friends.  The kids went on the "Ride the Ducks" Newport tour which is a land/water tour.
 Kate was able to get inside of a bubble and play!
 Papa and Grandma Z took the kids to a festival for some fun!
This past weekend, Grandma and Grandpa W took the kiddos to the annual Dayton Dragons game.  Kate got her picture taken with the mascot Heater.

Emma's Last Day of Kindergarten!

Emma's field day was amazing with multiple bounce houses and inflatables, a sno-cone truck, water games, and a sound system that played Kidz Bop!   Here are the 5 girls of Emma's AM Kindergarten class: Sophie, Tessa, Camille, Emma and Aami.
They are such a close knit group of young ladies!
 I had to include the shot of Emma being the anchor for the Tug-of-war!
Emma was so excited for her bus ride home, they got to sit in the last row of the bus!
"It was awesome Mom."   It is amazing how much Emma learned this past year in Kindergarten.  Her reading, writing, communication, maturity - all had incredible growth.  
Kudos to a fantastic teacher Mrs. Nicastro.
We celebrated the end of the school year with the trip to the pool!  Now we're ready for summer!

Memorial Day 2014


John and the kiddos headed to Worthington to meet Ms. Dominique and her family for the Memorial Day parade followed by a picnic.  Everyone looked so patriotic and its always a special day to remember those who have passed while serving in the Country's armed forces.
Here is the 2014 Annual Memorial Tournament Picture!

Kate's Preschool Graduation


 Kate had a wonderful year in the Frog Class at Northwest Presbyterian Christian Academy for preschool.  She had wonderful teachers - Miss Beth and Miss Caroline.  It was a great experience and Kate learned a lot.  They worked on writing, counting, site words and problem solving  She also matured and developed great relationships with her classmates.

 The preschool graduation on May 23rd was very special.   The children sang beautiful songs including Jesus Loves Me, God is so Good and a song reciting Psalm 100.
 Above is a video of Kate singing.  Enjoy!
