Kindergarten Graduation, Mother's Day, Soccer, Softball, Thomas, and Swim Lessons!

Hello Everyone!

It has been awhile since our last post, but I assure you there is a good reason.  WE HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY BUSY!!!  It seems like late spring and early summer are always really busy but this year has taken it to another level.  The kids are starting to get into activities and sports so it seems like there is always something going on.  Even Millie is taking classes!  These are just some of the things that have happened over the last couple of months.  

Elsie Graduated Kindergarten!!!






Owen did Soccer!
Soccer finished up in May. Owen was much improved this year.  He got in there and kicked the ball some, almost scored a goal, and had a great stop on another one (video below).  He's pretty fast too when he wants to be. :)








Mother's Day!
Grandma and Grandpa Cas and Aunt Marilyn came up to share Mother's Day with us.  

They brought Sarah a really cute Fairy Garden.

Owen has some really great puzzle skills to show Grandma.




Elsie's class made a cookbook for Mother's Day gifts.  

Each kid had an entry.  So cute!

Owen made a gift at preschool for Mommy too.


Happy Mother's Day!


Elsie Started Softball!
Elsie decided to quit doing gymnastics, and to start playing softball.  So far she's loving it.  Grandma and Grandpa Cox have enjoyed coming to the games too.  And last week, Grandma Cas and Aunt Marilyn made the trip up here to see a game.  Glad they could make it!

Her team is called the "Diamond Divas."  :)

It is coach-pitch and so far she's gotten really good hits at each at bat.  Got a good video of one below!



Thomas The Train!
Last weekend, Owen and I drove to Baldwin City to ride Thomas again.  He LOVES it!  He had the day off from preschool so I took off too and we spent the day together.  We also picked Elsie up early from summer camp and hit the pool!

Owen and the Boss









We did a fire pit the other night and Owen made his own "Little Owen" s'more.  :) 

Swim Lessons!
Both kids started swim lessons but their sessions are at different times, so I only have pictures of Owen because I took him.


Dog Class II
After achieving her undergraduate degree, Millie has decided to go back for her Masters!  :)
Our 2nd round of dog classes started last week.  Millie did great!
Btw, she's up to 57 lbs now!  


Kudos to Elsie for completing Kindergarten!  Now she's doing summer camp through the YMCA.  It's at her school, so pick up and drop off are about the same as during the school year.  During the week they have some pretty neat adventures.  One day a week they take a field trip.  Last week they went to the Zoo and later this summer they get to tour Kauffman Stadium!  Also, they go to the pool every Thursday, and on Friday the Kona Ice guy comes.  So far she loves it.

Owen, has also been having some summer fun at preschool.  His teacher has broken out the sprinklers and they get to play in them a lot.  They also just finished up their unit on dinosaurs, which he loved of course.

The start to our summer has been great so far.  Seems like we've had something to do almost every night after work, but it's been really fun watching the kiddos (and dog) having so much fun and learning new things.

See ya!
Ryan, Sarah, Elsie, and Owen
