A Quiet Evening.

It is a rainy Wednesday evening so we broke out the paints. Since the kids are in camp all day they are pretty exhausted by 5ish. I guess that means they are having fun!

Such a cute and innocent face.

Full concentration.

They turned out really cute!

Madi loves my new camera and is constantly asking for me to take pictures, good thing because I am such a slacker!

Monster Trucks!

It is Kids Worksop Saturday at Lowes! We have been doing this forever and the kids love it. Today we made monster trucks, Elliott was in heaven. Usually we would walk the mall or do lunch afterwards but since Madison has Jordans phone she is making lots more plans these days. She is going to see Toy Story 3 and have a sleepover at Sidneys...lucky her! If Jordan only new that her phone is burning with Madison's friends...ugh oh! I hope she is having fun at camp...she has been gone a week already and I really miss her, I hope she is having fun.

Marasco Ranch.

Madison has been spending her days at the ranch and having the best time ever! Every day we pick her up and Elliott asks her what horse she rode and how fast did it go. She is so perky when she gets in the van and so ready to share all of her events with us, swimming, arts and crafts, hayrides, fishing, canoeing, and of course horse back riding! One of her other favorites is "little animals" where she gets to hold, and care for rabbits and baby chicks. There have been 2 new litters of bunnies this week alone! I know she is sad that today is Friday, but Monday she will be back for more! Since it is Friday Elliott and I picked up a couple bags of carrots to feed all the goats, sheep, llama, and bunnies.

One hungry pig!

Baby bunny, so adorable!

Princess the ferrett.

Every Friday is shaving cream fight...how fun! Every councilor gets a shaving cream can and squirts away. Elliott had to pick some up off the ground to see if there was any left, thankfully there was not.

Camp Welaka, dropping Jordan off.

Camp H2Ohhhh! 12 days of water fun! Jordan is packed and ready to go. She is a little nervous since every other camp has only been one week but I'm sure she'll be fine. They are scheduled for surfing, canoeing, and even a trip to the Rapids. I hope she makes lots of friends, learns some new tricks, and comes home tan!

Checking for throat infections...

Pre-2 Graduation!

Graduation day for Mr. Elliott. he is moving on up from the 2 year old class to the 3's. It is crazy because when he started school in January he was already 3 but since his birthday is after the cutoff date he has been in the 2's room. Whatever class he was going from or into didn't matter to him though. He loves school more then anything and could not wait to graduate. We went and bought him special clothes and put on cologne for his special night. This is really his first time on a stage so I was a little nervous for him.

Special request for the "scrunchy face".

Making his entrance with his classmates.

"When I grow up, when I grow up I know what I will be, I will be a firefighter that's what I will be, and I will be the very best firefighter I can be." I dont know if Gabby really wanted to be a firefighter or just next to Elliott, they are dating :-)

Getting his diploma from Ms. Bonnie.

Ashlyn, Jordan, and Madison enjoying the show.

Mouth full of cake.

Ms. Bonnie & Elliott.

Elliott did awesome when he was at the microphone. The rest of the show however he chose to rock his chair and not do most of the hand motions. I think he was just waiting for the show to be over because he knew the cake was coming.
