Field Day

 I have a good friend who teaches at the boy's school.  She is so sweet to send me photos of things that I miss.

Pierce and Graham's 7th Birthday

 Graham and Pierce had their first friend birthday party this year.  We don't have a lot of places to host parties in Hastings, and they wanted to invite more kids than would fit in our vehicles for a trip to GI.  So, we ended up reserving a pavilion at their favorite park.  We were obviously taking a chance with the weather, but it ended up being a perfect day!

Pokemon was the theme this year.  Thank you, Nana!

I love these toothless grins!

We invited their class and a few other friends.  It was a large group.  The only time it felt large was when we tried to do cake a gifts at the same time.  That was a bit overwhelming.

Prior to this party, I had a no gun policy with toys. After this party, that policy went out the window.  We now have plenty of guns, and they've had a blast playing with them.

A few days later we went to dinner and opened presents with Nana and Papa

Monroe got the boys Disney shirts for our trip

Kindergarten Circus

Watson Elementary does a kindergarten circus.  It is an adorable program that they have been doing since the 1970s.  Pierce was an elephant and Graham was a strong man.
