Memorial Lake Weekend

We broke in the lake this weekend.  Like for real!  We had friends coming and going, tubing galore, grilling, bunk bed slumber parties, and lots of fun.  It finally feels like a real lake get away.

Little guy got thrown into the mix right away.  I'm not even sure if he knows where he lives or which family is his.  Shelton, welcome to your busy crazy happy life!

I am so ridiculously excited about the memories we are going to make here.  It already feels like summers at my grandparent's lake house.  Best times ever!

The only difference in this modern day is the Cibula's lake house has a foam machine.  I have never seen such endless entertainment.  Its nuts.

And just like that they are bathed and clean...well kind of.

So if you want to know what we are up to this summer, hopefully it will be a lot more of this!

Last Day + A Surprise

Happy Summer Vacation ya'll!  Woo hoo!  I love the last day of school.  

So this last day is going to be one for the books.  Surprise!  We have a puppy!  Shhh...the kids don't know.  We are headed to the bust stop to SHOCK them!

The bus is coming.  The water guns are filled and the ice cream truck has arrived.  Could this last day celebration be any better?

Blast those summer kiddos!

Amidst the crazy water fight and the ice cream truck, our little pup went unnoticed for a few minutes. But, guess who spotted him first?  Maggie!  I'm thinking she is pretty happy!

Then Jack!  Who was equally as excited.

And last Lucy, who would not let our new furry friend out of her sight!

Last day of school + a surprise puppy= LOVE!

We welcomed Shelton to our family today all the way from Pennsylvania.  He is a 13 week old English Cream Retriever.  He weights a hearty 16lbs already and we are smitten with this fur ball!

My Graduate

So it's official...my last little one has graduated from Pre-School.  {sigh}

We attended Lucy's graduation this morning with a bittersweet taste.  So happy for this girl, basically because she is so ready, but at the same time struggling to let go.  They all grew up too fast, but this one has whizzed right through.  My sweet third charm is off to better and bigger things!  Omgosh,  am I about to be a empty nester? From 8:00-2:00 any way.

So the darling graduation consisted of a whole performance in which Lu was front and center.  She could be heard from across the room and it was music to my ears.  Adore this performer of mine.

Then the teachers read off a description of each child before announcing their names to receive their diploma.  I KNEW it was Lucy when I heard  this....

Nailed it!

Lucy spent an incredible last year of pre-school in these ladies care.  It warmed my heart that they knew her so well and have taught her so much.

Lucy was most definitely the star of the family today.  She couldn't be loved more.  Grandma and Mommy and Daddy showered her with love, kisses, hugs, and graduation gifts.

Congratulations Lucy!  You are off and I'm so excited to see you SOAR next year!

Future Eagle

Lucy, my baby, registered for Kindergarten today!  She is ecstatic and I am in complete denial.

I assure you I will be referring to her as a Pre-schooler from today all through the summer and until the minute she walks into that Kindergarten classroom.

She may be ready to SOAR, but she will always be my baby!
