Moving To:

Kona, HI!! We have 1 week left here in CA before we move. Nathan graduated, passed all his boards and found a job on the big island. We are so excited he is done with school! We have been visiting with all of our family here, and in Alabama and Utah and it has been so fun. We will miss everyone so much. But hope to get lots of visits:)!!

New pink glasses coming soon!

I took Dallas to the opthamologist at Children's Hospital this week (see her left eye turning in) and it turns out she needs glasses. She has strabismus and amblyopia (her eyes aren't aligned properly with each other). I never would have known it b/c she always seems to see things fine on a page. But from far away she actually has really poor vision. She also gets to wear a patch 5 hours a day on her better eye to make the other one stronger. Now that I go back and look at pictures it seems so obvious that one eye turned in.

Princesses and Butterflies

Here are some pictures from my niece's 4th Cinderella Party: Darby, the birthday girl is the one with the pretty updo in the Cinderella dress. Brenna did not put down the fingernail polish the whole time. Maybe once for a cupcake. They played in these awesome cardboard castle's Brooke cut out! Such a cute party.

The butterfly pictures are from this weekend too. I love seeing all the butterflies. Dallas wanted one to land on her head so bad, but they only went on Brenna's and Abby's.

Graduation!!

Nathan graduated on Friday! It was really neat. I am so proud of him. He has worked so hard. And is still working hard for another month until boards are over. I almost cried when they called his name out to put his hood on. The girls survived the 3 hour long commencement by playing with their aunt Paula and candy from their Nana & Gpa. My Dad held Sadie almost the whole time which was so nice. I can't believe 4 years has gone by. My parents came in town for the week which was a blast. They lightened my load a ton! The kids were soo happy to see them. They loved getting presents from them, getting books read to them, their nails painted by Nana, eat good food, endless games, going to the park with them, and church, and my Dad even took the 2 older ones to the Natural History Museum. My Mom did way too much--she had major knee surgery only a month ago but still managed to go to the zoo! It was so fun to have her here for Mother's Day. Nathan surprised us both with corsages that we wore to church:).

CAMERA MAN

So Nathan was THE photographer for his cousins wedding this weekend in San Diego! He worked so hard. And the pictures turned out amazing. We were lucky enough to get a night to ourselves. The girls spent the night with their cousin Abby. Soo so nice of them! Here are some picts from this weekend and also a few more from Luke's baseball game last week.

Whenever Nathan has late nights, the girls get their groove on. I was cracking up at them tonight. Brenna loves dogs and ever since she heard this song, she wants to listen to it all of the time. Dallas likes to dance to anything that has a beat:). We tried to hit up the 31 cents a scoop tonight at Baskin Robins but the line was way too long!

Just so you know that they listen to nice songs too, here is Brenna singing for me so she have some ice cream:) a few weeks ago.

Getting out

The girls played at the zoo on Friday with this little guy--Braden--who will soon be moving this weekend. We will miss him. He is such a happy kid! We have been getting together with friends who will be moving all sorts of directions after graduation. Graduation is almost 2 weeks away. Plans for after graduation: Visit family we haven't seen in a while and move probably in July.

We went to my nephew's baseball game and Brooke spoiled the girls with slurpees--sure made them happy and kept them sitting down. It was fun to be back at a baseball park--reminded me of middle school days.

Just the right medicine...

Last night Dallas got the stomach flu and has been sick still today. I thought she was feeling better so we took a drive just to get out since it is 90 degrees here and our AC is broken. She then got sick in the car all over her clothes--red jello everywhere. But after a shower, because she loves showers now instead of baths and painting nails with stickers too that Nana gave her, she is feeling a bit better. Thanks Nana for the stickers. I know you gave them to us awhile back, but I saved them. That special surprise today made all the difference!
