Disney Fun Day One!

Im trying my best to document our little family vacation this summer.  It started with an airplane ride to California.

Shortly after arriving at the hotel we headed straight to Disneyland and got on the Indiana Jones ride.

 Then we spent the rest of the night running from ride to ride.

 We stayed up late the first night and saw the World of Color show.  It was an amazing show, but didn't start until 9:45 (which is 11:45 Wisconsin time) and after leaving at 5am that morning for the airport, made it a long day.  The kids all fell asleep waiting for the show to start.

Fathers Day Weekend!

Shawn had to work on Father's Day, but we celebrated the night before with a fun night out at the pizza place followed by some games at the park.

We have been staying up late every night now that it is summer, and the kids are having sleepovers every night.  One morning Ethan and Cole woke up like this.

We finally got around to having Cole's Annual Birthday water balloon fight.  Our little neighbor, Dino, joined us because Ethan was too busy talking on the phone.  On the last day of school Ethan gave out my number to several of his friends and he has taken more phone calls this past weekend than me, it's crazy.  In fact, he got his first phone call from a girl.  It was actually pretty funny.

5th Grade Promotion

The kids graduate Elementary School in 5th grade here and go to Middle School.  So this is a big year for Ethan.  He gets to participate in a fun graduation ceremony.  The funny thing is that the school area we are moving to this summer has 6th grade still part of the Elementary School, so Ethan will get to have another big graduation party next year too.  Lucky him.  Here are a few pictures from this mornings program.

Last week of school

Here are my kids on their last day of school (5th-Ethan, 3rd-Cole, and 1st-Liv)

The kids have had a great time this last week of school.  They didn't have homework one night and they pretty much went on field trips and played the whole week.  I went on a field trip with Liv on Monday.

Remember how last week Cole tried out for the competition soccer team...we found out this week that he made it.  He is really excited.  We spent this week all week long at Ethan's tryouts.  He was number two and had a great time meeting new people.  I am so proud of both my boys for trying something that was different and hard for them.  We also found out today at noon that Ethan made the competition team also.  

Liv has been very patient the past two weeks with all the soccer tryouts almost every night.

I also spent Friday afternoon with Liv's class on a picnic and playing games.

I didn't get any pictures of Cole and his friends this week, but he did come home with this cute note.
