Ok to play catch up....Emma and I went to Greenville for Memorial Day weekend. We found a lot of parks and just enjoyed time with my friends, Ashley and Erika. Bryce graduated from 8th grade and Leighton from high school. My youngest nephew, Garett, earned some smarty pants awards to finish up 6th grade! Here's a nice long photo montage of all mentioned events!
Emma coloring while waiting on our food at The Runway Cafe, at a small airport in Greenville, she also enjoyed their playground.
The playground was themed with a runway and several airplane toy/jungle gym things!
Ashley has a park a few miles from her house and we make a few trips to it. Emma loves playgrounds!
We wrapped up our last morning by going to watch some hot air balloons while we munched on breakfast. Then we headed up the mountain and through the woods back home and enjoyed the pool! (which we have done several times over the past week)
I searched high and low for Emma a pink cowgirl hat. Luckily The Children's place had them for $5.00! Emma had to have a pink one to be like Sheriff Calli.
One day Emma was being super silly and ended up in this crazy getup. Princess Scuba Girl!
Being a teacher at my nephews' school has it's benefits. I always help with 8th grade class night and this year I got to snap a practice photo of Bryce! That evening I had my assigned front row seat to see him walk across the stage!
The next evening we beat the heat to see my oldest nephew graduate! We celebrated with some Moondog Pizza afterward! I have to admit I teared up twice during graduation!
(cool side story, There was a set of twins that were born a few months before Leighton that were in the same NICU as him in Roanoke that also graduated with him!)
Photobomb by my brother, Leighton's dad. We are such the group of jokesters....
Garett finished up 6th grade with honors! He was super surprised to see his dad show up! (lucky again for me to be at the same school and get to sneak to his awards too!!)
Bryce was also the SCA president and did the school announcements every morning and afternoon this school year, I will miss getting to hear him over the PA system everyday. This was his last official day of announcements!
The school year wraps up tomorrow and I finish up Monday. I have the goal of getting my house spring cleaned all next week so I can enjoy my very short summer!!! Emma's last day of daycare is also this week!
Welcome Summer!!!





















Wahoo for summer vacation! :-)
