Kindergarten Graduation!

Kennedy has officially graduated from kindergarten! She learned how to read (in 6 weeks!), particularly loves math, and made many new friends. She is moving on to 1st grade - with two loose teeth, a teenager sassiness and a healthy confidence. What a girl!

With Raquel, her first kindergarten friend & now best bud


With Mrs. Walter, an AMAZING teacher!

Best Photo EVER - hands down!

This has to be one of my all time favorite photos... taken Monday night by Sam on his camera phone, here are my two little hams doing what they do best - being SILLY!

Alyssa & Ryan's Bridal Shower

We made a trip down to southern CA for my sister's bridal shower at the end of May. It was a FULL house at mom & dad's: Peep & Ryan; Kyle & Jen; Conrad & Pammie; Andrea, Xavo & Max and the four of us. The weather was great, the yard was gorgeous and mom cooked and prepped for weeks prior - it was a really relaxing visit! Thanks Mom & Dad!! The three little ones had a blast - Grandpa hooked them up with a hot tub just their size and they spent a good majority of the weekend naked. (It's a dream!) Cooper woke up from his nap on Sunday demanding "MAX!" !!! Here are a few of my favorite pics...

I {heart} New York

(Belated post here...) We had SUCH an amazing time in NY... we had a great opportunity to reconnect with friends and family and realized we need to make it back East more often! Thanks to everyone who fed us, visited with us and to Caspar & Van for spoiling us rotten for two weeks!
