4th of July

We had such a fun time over the 4th of July weekend. Including us, there were 15 people staying at our house. It was so fun. We had my mom here, Jill's family, and Suzanne's family. 

Bruce camped out on the trampoline with Brodey and Sayre.

 The rest of us had beds and air mattresses in the house.

We had fun playing at the beach on the 4th. We got there before the crowds got too bad.

We spent the afternoon at a park in San Marcos eating snacks and playing games while we waited for the fireworks. We made a lot of good memories. We love having family around.

So Far This Summer...

We haven't had any major events so far this summer, but we've been enjoying our time out of school and have managed to have a lot of fun. We've been busy at birthday parties, the beach, swimming, reading programs, volunteering at the school garden, having visitors from out of town, play dates, and doing some fun things. Here are a few pictures. We have a lot of summer events coming up that we're looking forward to!

6th grade complete

Bruce finished up his first year of middle school with an awards ceremony. He received an award for getting a 4.0 the entire year, the Excellence Award in Humanities, Subject Awards in Science & Math, and the Millionaire Readers Award for reading over 1.5 million words this school year. 

We're very proud of how hard he worked this year.

First and Last Day

Here's Linda on her first day of elementary school and on her last. Since she has a birthday very late in the year, she is 4 years old in the first picture. She started in preschool but because we moved in the middle of the school year and CA had a later start date, she was able to take Kindergarten for the rest of the year in California. She started in Fairfax, VA and finished up in Oceanside, CA. Linda attended 5 different elementary schools.
