First camping trip of the year

It's no secret our family LOVES camping!  So we had to get out in those woods ASAP after school let out!  Alexis being in school is really cramping our camping!  We used to take off for long weekends all the time, but now have to wait, because I am a mean mom and don't let her miss school unless she is half dead!  We had a wonderful, relaxing time as usual, and got to enjoy some chilly weather!  Some of the things we did...

May babies

My mom, my gma and myself were all born in May, so we decided to do a triple birthday dinner in June because that was when we could all get together!  Just a couple pics of some of my favorite girls!

Alexis' Graduation Ceremony

Alexis' class and 3 others from her school put on a graduation ceremony/program to celebrate the end of kindergarten.  It was freaking adorable, and the kids all did so good.  They practiced every day for at least 2 weeks.  Alexis did great on her speaking part and did not forget any words.  You could tell she was really nervous though being up in front of all those people!  My mom, GG, Joe, and Toni were all able to be there to support her.  It turned out fabulous of course!  She got presents too!  Earrings from us, andmoney from everyone else!  She rolled in the money!  I know that when I graduated kindergarten I did not get any cash!!  Anyway, we are super proud of her and how great she did at her graduation!
