Already Memorial Day!

Wow! Where had the time went? I can't even remember the last time that I posted to my blog...I really let it get away from me. I'll try to do better in the future, but with summer coming on, I know everything will be busy. But, since it's a very rainy Memorial Day here and we don't have much going on today, I thought I would sit down and try to do a quick catch up!

There has been a lot going on...to start, Zachary and Taylor are now FIVE!!!!!



They had their birthday party at a place called, "Jumpmania." It's an indoor inflatable gym. Lots of inflatable slides, mazes and obstacle courses. They had a lot of fun and had a lot of their friends join them for the party!

A few of them came down the slide at the same time!


In the birthday rooms, they have a big blow-up throne for the birthday kids to sit in. Here they are together!


We sang "Happy Birthday" to Taylor first. Her friend, Hanna, sat with her in the chair. Hanna and Taylor have been friends since they were 2 and first met in their 2-year-old preschool class.


Next, we sang to Zachary. His good friend, Gabe, sat next to him. He and Gabe have become best buddies over this past school year.

Another major event that has happened is that the kids graduated from preschool! They had the graduation ceremony several weeks ago, but the kids don't officially get out of school until June 3. I still can't believe that they will be in Kindergarten in the fall and no longer going to the preschool that they have been going to since they were two years old.

We have also planted our first veggie garden! It's not a huge one, but it's a good size for our very first attempt at growing veggies! We have a few tomatoes, squash and carrots. There are also strawberries that are in seperate containers. We have been able to eat a few of the strawberries so far and the kids think that is so awesome!

Taylor watering the merigolds that are in pots around the garden. I read that if you plant marigolds around your veggies that the insects won't bother them as much because of the smell. We shall see!



Here is a strawberry. It didn't stick around long...once the kids saw we had a few strawberries, they quickly picked them and ate them!


A few grape tomatoes!! Hopefully, they will be red within the next week or so!


And lastly...it's almost time for the new kit release at Moments To Remember. I've been working on that the last few days. Have had a great time with the kit and can't wait to show off what I have created with it!!! Trying to get more of our Disney 2008 album done!!! Here are a few layouts I have done that are Disney themed over the last month or so...
