Aubrey's Last Day

On Friday, May 25, Aubrey had her last day of 2nd grade! 

It wasn't Dad's last day - he still had quite a few days left

End of the year chapel and awards 

Aubrey was 1 of 4 classmates *from a class of 23* that received

the PENMANSHIP AWARD! 

Miss Abbie (classroom aide) had to pass them out since Aubrey's teacher

was out of town the last 3 days of school due to a family wedding in CO

She received a certificate and a $2 bill

End of the year chapel group rotations 

(making a Cherrios bird feeder)

The day after the last day of school, the girls were invited to the

Oskaloosa Fire Department for a pizza party since they won the

coloring contest at the Pizza Ranch.

And on Memorial Day, the girls enjoyed climbing 

Grandma Betty's tree 

End of Spring Things

Avery had her last day of Sonshine preschool

on May 20, and it did not feel like the end.

It was COLD! The kids had a field trip to the Library

and then had a picnic lunch at Edmunson Park.

Avery is WAY at the top of the rocket 

Last day of Sonshine! 

Aubrey participated in the Live Healthy Iowa Track Meet

She ran the 200 and got 3rd 

She did the standing long jump and did not place 

She also ran the 50 and got 3rd in that, too 

On Thursday, May 23, OSCI had their FIELD DAY!

We participate in chapel groups and do games all afternoon.

Black vs. Maroon :)

Egg Relay - she actually dropped it at the very end and had to do it all over 

Last event - the obstacle course 

Mother's Day weekend

After our field trip to the zoo, Steve and Avery

met Aubrey and I at the zoo in Des Moines and headed to 

Northwest Iowa for a quick weekend that would be jam-packed.

We made the drive quickly from Des Moines to Sioux City

and stopped to do some shopping.

Avery got my phone while we were in Scheels :)

We grabbed supper at Red Robin -- yummmmmm.

On Saturday morning, we had a bridal shower for Emily

at Ash's house.

Here's all the girl cousins with their dolls ready to party.

Bridal shower time!

Enjoying Aubrey's home-made card :)

Excited for her cow butter dish from us.

After the shower, we got to watch Gavin play soccer!

The girls prefered to color instead. 

Gavin's large cheering section (from both sides of the family)

Avery LOVED holding the kittens.

And Aubrey was forced to, but came around eventually.
