Graduation and Birthday

The last week has been a crazy one. Hunter has officially graduated from Pre-school and had a little diploma ceremony. Kelly took half day and it was fun getting to spend the morning with him. It's still hard to believe our little boy is going to start Kindergarten this August.



Hunter's 5th Birthday was on Saturday...July 4th. The great thing about having a birthday on a Holiday is that family that isn't usually in town tends to be here for the holiday. We decided to have Hunter's Birthday at the park. The weather couldn't have been greater. It wasn't more than 96 degrees with a wonderful breeze and shade that made it so pleasant. The park that we went to was empty except for our little group which meant we had our own private park for the afternoon. Hunter asked to have a Star Wars party. Above is the cake I made for him (R2D2). Unfortunately, Kora decided to get a few samples of icing before I got pictures...not much you can do about it once the damage is done so I'll just say he has a few battle wounds.

Hendricks Kids were here and got to spend the day with us. Hunter, Kora and Mylie had a great time with their cousins.

After the park we headed over to Kelly's parents house and the kids played on their new water slide. The kids had a great time. When night time arrived Grandpa bought some party poppers and the kids got to shoot off 1500 poppers. The mess left over on the grass was crazy. It was a fun day spent with family. Hope all of you had a Happy and Wonderful 4th of July!

Here's our little Mylie enjoying some fun in the sun.

As we were about the leave Nani's house she asked if we could sing to Hunter one last time. When we were at the park it was too windy to keep the candles lit so she placed 5 candles in 5 Oreo's and we sung to him and he finally got to blow out his candles.

This last picture is our nephew Mason. He fell asleep about 6:30pm. He was wiped out. We thought he was only napping but apparently he slept until 8am the next morning. He missed...well slept through party poppers and fireworks. He must have been extremely tired. Actually, us adults were just envious of him because he was doing exactly what we wanted to be doing.
