summer's here.

it's officially summer and the fun begins. Today, for example, movie at 9:45 am...all you can eat popcorn. Costco for sample time and a few necessities. Swimming. naps and "PUNCH OUT" on the Wii. Swimming again and dinner with friends. Ay-yayay...I'm exhausted :)

We have a graduate on our hands, folks. Payton officially graduated from Kindergarten last Thursday and it was "his" very own day. The program was very cute and he sang out wonderfully. His school song to the tune of "Puff the Magic Dragon" runs through our heads ALL day long! He got his diploma and they announced what each kid wanted to be when they grow up. And what do you know? Payton wants to be a UFC Fighter! A big thank you to his dad and BJ Penn for that one. After, we had cookies and said good bye to friends. Then he chose Charlestons for lunch {he loves their SALAD silly boy...} and then home, swimming again, bikeride in the rain {me on the pink cruiser, girls in the trailer behind Mike) and then Bahama Bucks for a Bahama Mama Rama...our favorite!
Good times with my favorite people and oh, so proud of our boy.

Sydney, too, finished her first year of pre-school and we are equally proud of the progress she has made this year. Her teachers say she is just so confident (like she really lacked in that area) and she is learning to write so well. She is also an ARTIST by nature and creates, creates, creates. She is the biggest mess-maker of all time. But I love her. We call her Sydney Kate Commando lately (for obvious reasons that we will not discuss...)

Avery has enjoyed all of the festivities. She is walking like a pro and is on her feet the majority of the time now. She is a sweet girl and is loving the pool and eating popsicles.

Here are a few pics to enjoy.
