Happy Memorial Day

Goodbye Ward Preschool

Jamie finished up her year at preschool today, with a special ceremony. We are definitely going to miss Ward Preschool and the fantastic teachers! They have been a blessing in both Jamie's and Dawson's lives the last couple years. These two teachers are such great people! Dawson and Jamie were lucky enough to both have the same teachers as four year olds. They will be greatly missed, and we are sad to be done with the preschool years - but they sure were fun!

Happy 1st Birthday Lydia!

One of our neices, Lydia, turns one year old today! Here are some pictures from her party this weekend:

So exhausted and the party isn't over yet! (This was in the middle of present opening.)

Busy Spring

We have had a busy spring with school activities, dance and baseball.....

Jamie had her dance pictures this weekend....stay tuned for recital pictures when that happens. It aught to be a pretty cute (or hilarious sight).

Here is a preview of Audrey and her:

More baseball action:

Coach and Dawson discussing strategy. Notice the kid in right field - not sure what his strategy is. Something to do with bugs or rocks probably.

Grandma V and Jamie cheering them on.

Determination rounding third (notice tongue...this was common in soccer for him too.)

Team: Storm

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day everyone and love from us to all of you! (Especially our own moms and grandmas!)

Some favorite d & j photos

As promised, here are some favorites of the photos taken of the kids recently. It was hard to choose just a few to post because there are so many cute ones. Lindsey did a great job with them. Thanks Lovella Photography!

Baseball season has begun

Baseball season has begun for Dawson. This year his team is "Storm" and he is super excited for each game or practice. Which is good because there is either practice or a game 3 nights a week. Yep, we are hardcore in this town about baseball. No messing around.

You're gonna want a real nice wide stance, like Dawson is demonstrating here.

First Tigers game of the season for the kids

First game of the season for the kids, and it was a loss. Oh well. Good thing there are about 148 more games.

We ran into David's cousin, Ben, at the game. Small world.

Real Life Farm

Jamie's preschool class had a field trip today to a farm.
We did the same trip last year with her class and Dawson's class, but the weather was cold, rainy and very muddy. This year was the opposite! It was a beautiful day and Jamie had a blast - riding a horse, feeding and holding lots of animals, milking a cow, going on a hayride and more...
