Graduation

I can't believe that my baby graduated Kindergarten.  Can he really be that old!  Michael loved his kindergarten class and teacher, Mrs. Walton.  He has learned so much and can now read basic books.  He also made a lot of good friends and spent most of his time hanging out with Jaxon, Lilly, and Rex.  I feel so lucky to have this special boy in my family.  He makes me smile everyday.  I love that he walks around singing all day and is so excited about every little thing.  I was able to volunteer in his classroom and it was fun to see him interact with the other kids and learn new concepts.  And I love that he loved having me there and would run up to me and give me a huge hug every time I came in to help.  What a special kid he is!  I'm so proud of him!

Big Graduation with all of the PM Kindergarteners.  They sang songs and did a couple dances and had a slide show.  Nana and PopPop were able to come and watch.

California

May is the perfect time for a trip to California!!!  We were able to go down to California with all of Jeremy's dad family.  We were there for seven days and it was amazing.  We stayed at the beautiful Hilton resort and loved every minute of it.  We were able to spend time at the beach, go to Disneyland, Legoland, the Aquarium, and just spend time together swimming at the pool.  It was the perfect vacation.  

A day with my Grandma Bootsie
 

Day trip to Carlsbad beach.  The kids loved playing in the waves and it was so cute to see them splashing in the waves and laughing hysterically if they got wet.  Even Juliet loved sitting in the sand.  I love the beach!









 Disneyland!  The kids were in heaven here.  They couldn't get enough of the rides and seeing the disney characters.  Michael's favorite ride was Cars and Bryce loved Buzz lightyear.  It is so fun to see the excitement on their faces.  Juliet was perfect and had a great time.  We were even able to do a breakfast with the characters.  Michael and Bryce were so excited and wanted to dance and hug Goofy, Minnie, and Daisy constantly.  Even when we leaving...Michael had to run up to Daisy and let her know that he was leaving and get a goodbye hug.  

















Chilling at the pool.  The kids wanted to spend all their time in the warm hot tub.  Hopefully I can get them both swimming by the end of the summer!




Legoland!  The kids also loved Legoland.  The ran from ride to ride and couldn't get enough.  Bryce loved the Knight ride and Michael loved the Dragon roller coaster.  They also have an amazing Lego Miniland...where they have recreated cities and even the different scenes from Star Wars.  















 Sealife Aqurium.  The kids had a great time exploring the Aquarium.  We were even able to see the Shark feed and the boys were able to touch some starfish.
