Last of Freedom...Oh I Mean School!!

Today is the day!!! The day Makena becomes a "know it all" fourth grader and Bryden will become a second grader. They are getting so big but after a long winter and a busy school year I think we are all ready to hit the sun and have some fun for a while. They ended the school year with field day which was full of activities and best of all snow cones!!

The snow cones were defiantly the hit of the day!!!

As the snow cones melted along with some of the enthusiasm for the day many kids were ready to call it and head home to start summer break. Then we have Bryden, who has found a new talent and we could not pull him away from the music. He had quit the audience. Maybe we should give up baseball and find a break dancing class. All he needs is a wooden floor in the basement now!!

It was a great school year but summer here we come!!!!!!!

Sorry to all of the family on how long it took me to post these. My digital camera was down and it took me forever to get the pictures in to be developed the old fashioned way!!!

Thinking about it, it is very rare for families to have multiple generations together at the same time. Many families do not even have multiple generations alive at the same time. After spending the weekend in Lewiston I do have to say I am lucky to have so much family around me and I was even luckier to have the opportunity to see ALL of them at one time. What was the occasion you ask???

HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY to GRANDMA JOYCE!!!!

Grandma Joyce turned 70 and all of her family came to one place to surprise her with a little birthday celebration. I think she was very surprised both by the party and to have all of her family in one place at one time. Truly a blessing!!!

Kimberly is putting some hair bling in aunt Patty's hair. She came all the way from the east coast to get the current hair styles!!

Four generation all in one room at one time.

My kids meet cousins they didn't even know they had. They asked to move to Lewiston but I reminded them the closest Target would be an hour and a half away!!

Sissy and Avery who came from Dallas.

Since we were there we did take Bryden to Bryden Canyon to see what it was all about. I am not sure if he was as excited as I was though!

This is Grandma Joyce with her four kiddos and her sister Patty!!!

Happy Birthday Grandma Joyce!!!!

I even had my four siblings there at one time. I guess we all got the memo to wear black!!
