Emma's Kindergarten Graduation

I can't believe Emma has graduated from Kindergarten and after this summer she will be in 1st Grade! Where does the time go? This year has flown by and I have watched my first baby become such a wonderful and intelligent girl. She had a great year making new friends, having fun parties, and going on field trips. As a way to wrap up the school year Emma's class did a little production with songs that they sing everyday and a wonderful slide show that was put together by the "room mom". It was a special morning full of tears of course.

To Emma,
My sweet girl, your Daddy and I are so proud of you! You have accomplished so much this year and have learned so much. You amaze us daily with the things you have learned and the person that you are. Words will never express how proud of you we are. It has been a wonderful kindergarten year and we are so excited for you. Remember to always stay true to who you are and continue to be kind to everyone new friend you meet. We LOVE YOU so much!!! Congratulations, now on to FIRST GRADE.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

Camping in Cottonwood - Mother's Day 2012

This Mother's Day Justin asked me what I would like to do to celebrate and I told him Go Camping! We decided to go to Cottonwood, we went there a couple years ago for Mother's Day camping and had fun so we decided to do it again. We stayed at a great camp ground that had full hook up so we were able to have water and air conditioning, I know some may say it isn't really camping, haha. The kids had a blast going on bug hunts and hiking. We also went to Jerome and walked the old town. It was a perfect Mother's Day weekend full of relaxation and fun!

Going on their morning bug hunts...
