School's Out!

Summer is here!

I can't believe school is out. We loved going to Bennett's adorable Kindergarten performance this week. He absolutely lit up every single time he heard applause after each song. Bennett made leaps and strides in his reading, counting, and speech this year. He was such a hard worker at school. He was kind to everyone. He was brave and did his best at so many things. He loved his teacher, loved eating lunch at school, loved playing dinosaurs at recess, and loved loved loved his teachers. What a sweet boy. I cannot, cannot, cannot wrap my mind around him being in first grade. But we've got a couple months  :)

Westin finished second grade with so much to be proud of! He is a reading rockstar, a good friend, flies through math, absolutely loves going to school, spends every recess playing football, does what he's asked, treats others with kindness, loved his teachers, and is just such a wonderful, wonderful person. He's heading into third grade more than ready for third grade but it's just sounding really big to me.

On the last day we picked up Culver's for lunch after their half day, and ate at Michael's work with him. The boys loved getting their own ice creams. Then we came home and worked hard to get them on the rod for the first camping trip of the summer! Michael took the oldest three and they were so excited to go. And I stayed home with Asher which I think I was equally excited about. We slept in, went on a walk, got some basement work done (just me, not him :)), watched My Best Friend's Wedding, ate snacks for dinner, and just had a really relaxing time. Michael and the boys just missed being rained on, had fun building a dam in the river, and loved their time outside.

Such a wonderful school year. Sleeping through the night, while absolutely wonderful, has also seem to come with a shift in how fast time is moving. I really feel like ever since Asher hit this wonderful milestone, my life is now on fast forward. Michael and I are getting sleep in, getting workouts in before our kids wake up, getting in full days with them, and then they just repeat repeat repeat while I just keep looking around wondering how these cute kiddos are already so big. I remember so very much about third grade, and Westin is heading there in just a couple months. Grateful for their wonderful school and that they have each other + good friends. What a sweet week. What a sweet school year.

Spring Zing fun! Even with some clouds and cooler weather.

Walking lessons :)

A little lunch date with my littlest two. They were angels.

Angel of a teacher.

He's not so baby anymore ;)

Growing up!

Thanks to some heavy coach involvement and love :) :)

Asher really puts off getting his diaper changed these days :)

This crew.
Some of our worst moments are right before we get everyone out the door.
But many, many mornings were just wonderful with them.
Both are ok. We just do our best each day and that always looks different but man I love them.
