End Of School. . . St. George

The end of May is always busy with school festivities. Here is a small taste of what was going on. . . .I attended two different Preschool Graduations for Mia. So my baby is heading off to Kindergarten next Fall. .. . don't get me started or I might tear up! I also attended 2 school programs for Kennedy and Elizabeth. This is Kennedy standing by her "body" she made of herself.
Luke had some fun festivities at the end of the year, including going to Lagoon with his school. I was also impressed with him when his report card showed up in the mail. . . 4.0! All year long!! Way to go, Luke!!
I don't have more pictures of ball games, but Luke's baseball team played in a tournament over memorial day weekend. They struggled their first two games, should have one their third, and then finally pulled it together and won their last game.
I decided at the last minute to take off and head to St. George with the girls for the weekend. Julia and Macey were visiting Mom and Dad, and we just couldn't resist going to see everyone!
I didn't take many pictures, but my girls LOVE Macey (well, I don't know who couldn't love her. . .she is soo sweet). They were crowded around her just about like this all weekend long.
On Saturday afternoon, Julia and I took the kids down to Main Street in St. George where they have a really nice water fountain, and river for the kids to play in. It was a nice way to play and enjoy the sun for a couple hours while giving Mom and Dad a little break from the kids!! We also went to the Tuachan Saturday market in the morning. There were some booths set up with crafts, etc. My girls enjoyed picking out some really cute flower clips and of course had to get some shaved ice. .. (thanks, Grandpa!). Mom, Julia, and I went on some killer walks about every day. I came home with the girls Monday evening. . . . we had a really good time. It was a great way to kick off the summer!
Before I left, I "stole" a few rocks from the empty lot next to mom and dad's house to bring home and put in the yard. One of them was nice and flat, and Julia mentioned to me how we should carve out our name on it. So I mentioned it to David as we were unloading our new yard rocks. . . .and you can see he liked the idea!

Congratulations to all of the kids on their accomplishments! It looks like you had fun in St. George. Summer has been s-l-o-w coming around here. The sun is finally out today; hopefully, I can get some good pics of B in her cap and gown (talk about tearing up!) before the clouds come back.

How do you carve rock and have it look so nice? Mia looks so cute in her little cap. Like Shannon said - congrats to all the kids. I'm jealous you guys got to see Julia & Macey. Looks fun!

I love that rock. I want to come & steal one for myself. :)

Sounds like a very fun time, and I do agree that little Macey is adorable.

And a good time was had by all! So glad you came and gave Brian and I a distraction of thinking about health issues all the time.

I love your rock. Good job, David.
