So the last few weeks have been emotional ones for me. I have been having a difficult time feeling like these kids are growing up too fast! Eric just graduated from kindergarten, Rachel just graduated from joy school and is ready to start kindergarten and I keep thinking WAIT this is all happening too fast! They grow up too fast....except when they are two because then they are two FOREVER and no one is growing up fast! My Mom says that it just catches you off guard sometimes and I suppose that is what has happened to me. Here are a few pictures from our lasts of May.
Eric at his kindergarten graduation. And I say, since when do we need a graduation from kindergarten? He is holding the piggy bank that they made as their final project.
Tim and Eric at the annual Father's and Son's camp out with our church
Jenna finished her ISR swim lessons which is a six week course teaching babies and young children how to swim (my older two did this several years ago). She can swim at 18 months old! The top picture is of her with the final test, which is being able to float with your clothes on. (More on this in a future post, I will try to get some video, also more in another post on my obsession with zebra print things, it has become a problem for me).
Rachel after finishing her dance recital.
After all of these lasts, we need a first. First flip into the pool of the summer!! Yeah for summer! I am excited to get to have all of my babies with me full time!
I just had to include this picture because it is the cutest thing ever. For Rachel's birthday Grandma White made little Rachel (the doll) a matching dress. Sadly, little Rachel still wasn't allowed to come to church with us. Aren't they adorable!

See, and I am feeling all sad about this because after four years of joy school I am on break for the next two. Meanwhile, most of my group is going to be finishing up with their youngest children. I am SO sad about this. I'll be the old mom of the group when I start up again!

Your kids are so cute! I love seeing the pictures. I wish we lived closer so we could see you more often.
You are such a great example of being a great mom. Your kids are so blessed to have you. I know that it is sad to see them grow but it is exciting in lots of ways too. I wish I was there to jump in that pool:) Have a great summer with your kids being home!
love all the lasts....and it does happen too fast (Sam is going to be 9 next month!!!) The swimming thing is amazing, I saw it online somewhere and thought it was awesome....you have a pool so it makes sense to teach them young! hope your summer starts off great, and call if you come up to SL, I'd love to see you!
