All City Award

These guys were recognized for being top swimmers in DPS at a very informal and very odd ceremony in the middle of a soccer game.  Regardless, it was an honor and fun to be there.

Beginning of Summer Swim Fun

First swim cheer of the season.
B is often with LT and his friends.
Post first swim meet.  Older and younger versions.

Fairly often we have a group of kids at our house for dinner.  I will definitely miss having these guys around when LT is gone.

Late May Photo dump

May was filled with graduation parties.  Above was one we hosted for LT and 3 of his best buds from highschool.  
A photo from another party we hosted at our house.  Rox and I have been close friends since 7th grade and its rare we get adult photos, so I am glad she got this one.

Another grad party.


Probably our last hike until the fall.
Another grad party, this one with more kids B's age.
In 345 at Stanley, they do a goodbye circle for each 5th grader.  All the other kids write an individual note to the 5th grader leaving and then they go around the circle and read them all.  Because B is also leaving Stanley, he was one of the recipients this year.


We will really miss his magical 345 teachers.
Last day of school Park Burger lunch before an end of year pool party.

High School Graduation

Its hard to believe, but LT graduated from high school in May.  He's off on his next adventure in California!  I never take enough photos, but we did take several.  Baba was also at graduation but left before we took photos.

Hikes were limited this year due to full schedules, but we enjoyed the ones we got in nonetheless.

Prom


As I mentioned in an earlier post, we haven't slowed down since spring break and this weekend was no different.  We went from the league meet Friday night, to B's baseball game Saturday morning, to dropping him at a sleepover birthday party, back to league for finals, straight to photos for prom, dinner and then to work after prom.  Its all been so fun, but its been a lot!







Brian was a dealer in the casino and I was a prize hander outer.
