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.

Always a lot of boys at our home.

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.

Randoms from April

The boys swim team LOVES their team dinners.  We have hosted a few, as well as many other generous parents.  In addition, its not uncommon for these guys to go out to dinner together after a meet.  


B and his buddy built this guitar and presented it during the annual arts fest at Stanley.
One of my closest friends had a baby in November.  He's now part of the post pickleball happy hour crew!  Definitely the cutest part.

B's friends mom took these guys to take your kid to work day at the court house!  B was able to play the part of public defender during a mock trial.
One of probably the last senior sunrises for this one.
Pre league team dinner at our house.  Despite having lots of seating, we do not have enough, but these guys just cram in.

I will miss the piles of shoes by our front door someday.
