CRAZINESS

The end of May has been completely, insanely busy. I don't want to go into too much detail, as that would take forever, but here goes a summary:

We finally visited Thanksgiving Point Gardens. It was beautiful as ever.


Ella's preschool graduation went wonderfully well. The kids sang songs and recited nursery rhymes. Here's Ella with the awesomest preschool teacher alive; Mrs. Hansen.


Grandma Pinson's 90th Birthday party was a smashing success. Here are the oldest 3 with this awesome lady!
We had a crazy, annoying snow storm on May 24th.


Andrew's school dance festival was great, as I'm told. Brian went and watched because I had to stay home with a feverish Noah. Brian said Andrew even "kind of" performed, which is a step up from his usual performance level. Let's just say singing and dancing aren't for him.


Andrew's school class also held an Author's Tea. I got to go and celebrate Andrew's writing from this past school year, which was really fun.


I've been decorating Sadie's nursery and have been having a ball doing it. I only wish I could paint, but I think I did pretty well considering what I had to work with.

Noah's Kindergarten Graduation was really fun! I was discussing with my Mom how it seems that each year, the schools try to do more and more to please parents. Noah's Kindergarten Graduation was complete with a graduation cap, diploma, and a mention of each graduate. Loved it!

We visited Farm Country with our Sampson cousins and loved it as much as we always do.


And finally, on Memorial Day, we visited Logan and visited both Brian's Grandpa's grave sites. We love Logan and enjoy visiting, and it wouldn't be complete without a visit to The Bluebird.


Well, there you have it. After the craziest week and a half I've had in some time, we all survived and are all looking forward to a sunny (hopefully), pleasant, relaxing summer!

Thanks for letting us add to your craziness. We had fun!

P.S. Sometime ask me or our sister about the craziness we participated in (on a whim) in her backyard the other day. We wish you would have been there. (Well, really, it was probably best that we were the only ones there.)
