Chris' Graduation Party

Last Sunday, Arabella and I helped Jennifer with Chris' graduation party.  We had so much fun and Arabella loved hanging out with her "adoptive older brothers".  If you had asked me 19 years ago, if Jennifer and I would be friends, I would have said not a chance.  But situations change and you grow up.  I remember when Jennifer was pregnant with Christopher.  And now it is hard to believe that he has graduated high school and will be heading to the South Carolina Fire Academy in August.  Congrats Chris!

Arabella hanging out with Drew and Mari.  She had a blast!

She talked Shawn into swimming even though it had just rained and the water was "cold"!

Chris volunteers at a fire station in Fort Mill and some of the other firefighters came to the party.  They arrived in the fire truck and Arabella was so excited.  I also think Chris was as excited to show her all about the truck!

Surprise Mail

Arabella and Max received a box full of surprises from Grampie.  They had fun opening the box and couldn't have been more excited about what was inside.  Thanks so much Grampie for spoiling them.  Arabella loves all her Summer shorts and tanks from Justice and now Max has Summer things to grow into!  And she has been making rainbow loom bracelets like crazy!

Uncle Mike also surprised Arabella with a fun filled envelope.  She was so excited for the fun sticker books and Strawberry Shortcake activity book.  Thanks Uncle Mike!

Garden Update

The garden is growing like mad.  I think we are going to have to transplant the pumpkins which are taking over!

Backyard Craziness!

Things got a little crazy in the backyard with the hose!  Needless to say, everyone got a little wet and had fun in the process!

And for a change, I was able to watch from the patio!

May Recap...

I seriously have no idea what happened to the month of May.  But by the looks of the memory card on my camera, we had a lot of fun.

We had backyard pool time.

 Teacher Appreciation Week.

 Not sure what Max is looking for...

One of our backyard friends.

I enjoyed this yummy wine...it was an old bottle that I brought back from Napa the Summer of 2002.

Messy Max and the blackberry war!

Water fun!

Checking out another backyard friend.

Yes, Max is all boy and he is a climber!

Sand"pool" fun!

I am going to try my hardest at doing a better job of keeping things updated this Summer...
