Harvest Time!

We just had our biggest harvest of Mandarins yet!  Our little 4 year old Matsuda Mandarin tree just gave us 127 delicious Mandarins!

Kindergarten Career Day Fashion Show

Anna has graduated from Kindergarten and is looking forward to a Summer of fun.  We are hoping to get her into swimming lessons and a few other things to keep her busy and her mind active.

End to a Big Weekend

Anna had a pretty big weekend... It started with her 6th birthday party and we had about 15 people over for the party. Her big sister made it to town the same day so she got to celebrate with both of her older sisters too. Then the next day we went to lunch with her sisters, then went to the mall to have her ears pierced. She sat in that chair all excited and braved it quite well, even thought the left ear didn't go all that smoothly. Then to top off the weekend... She had been playing with a loose tooth all weekend but with some help from mom at bath time it finally came out. So, the tooth fairy will be making a visit tonight.

One of the hotter weekends

We had another fun weekend. The weather was hotter than it has been recently, we've had a pretty mild summer this year. Anna played in our pool and we also took her to the pool at the park around the corner from our house. Julie received a pool chair for her birthday from her co-workers.

Here is a video of Anna sitting in the same pool chair.

June 1st Laura graduated from her Dental Assistant program with honors!

Here is the banner we hung from the balcony during the ceremony. The crowd was a bit loud but it was fun seeing Laura and the others cross the stage and receive their diplomas.
