Bittersweet EndinGs (the end of May)

The Graduates. Crazy that of ALL nights, Makinzie and Chantelle graduated on the same day. So, no one else came to Makinzie's (since she was just graduating from kindergarten and Chantelle had gotten a few more years of schooling accomplished). We left her graduation early, getting to Chantelle's just in time for them to read the list of graduates...

all in all, it was a great night, full of lots of wonderful memories!

(still May) a few days off of school=a lot of FUN!

The Zoo:

(I love that Ally and Cole are fighting over THAT exact spot on the ground...because there definitely isn't enough space to stand in that area?! they are great buddies or bitter enemies...ALL the time...there's no middle ground)

The Night Out:

Grandma's hotel pool:

My dad's face is classic! The water was pretty cold :)

Memorial Day Slip and Slide:

My dad was pushing their boogie boards down the slide. They had a blast!

Finally cleared the smudge, it made a huge difference...much better!

I gave up on EVeRyThiNg ElSe for now...

May brought with it a lot of endings...this was Seminary graduation.

Makinzie really liked the cake...

A few days latter they honored the seniors in our ward. (and I just had to post a cute pic of the girls from earlier that evening...)

My camera apparently had a huge smudge on the lens for these next few events...which I didn't realize and fix until I uploaded them all to my computer and realized it once I saw them all larger. BUMMER!

CHANGE

I have a million things to post and never enough time to do it...I have to find the device that takes the pics from my camera and puts them onto my computer...as soon as I do that, and finish painting my entire house, and turn our weeds into grass, and unpack all of these boxes, and clean up all the messes we've let collect as we've tried to get all of this done, I'm sure I will get around to posting pictures and details of what has happened to us in the past few months...but, until then...
