On Kim's last day of helping in Henry's class she got really cute cards from all the kids and a potted flower as a thank you
Kim took Lyza out for pie to celebrate the end of school for her
This is Henry during Ponderosa's field day
Some video from field day
Mason thought it was funny to wrap the swing up (making it shorter) and still swing on it
Lyza had a group of friends over the evening of the last day of school to celebrate
They played a little badminton
They played games together
Henry decided to lose his first tooth that evening
The girls walked down to the beach park
Lyza made a good group of friends this year
It was a beautiful evening
The girls enjoyed conga lines
The next morning I cleaned the church with mason and Henry
And they got donuts after
We played at the beach that afternoon
Pretty butterfly
We celebrated Father's Day a week early because the following week we were leaving for Oregon. This is the family picture we got on Father's Day
And me with my beautiful children
I got some wonderful gifts
That included a scavenger hunt...
Where I found Ninja Creami pints in the freezer
I have been wanting one of these for a while and it is wonderful
That evening we went to another family's home and Lyza found a cicada
They also found a frog
Nixon got to play with a tractor
This was a big rock that Mason conquered
Henry got these sunglasses from his teacher and he really likes them
I got to take some pictures of Mason to use for his baptismal invitation
The boys had their last day of school. Nixon finished 4th, Mason finished 2nd, and Henry finished kindergarten
Lyza finished a few days earlier but her picture was delayed
Lyza and Nixon both had Mrs. Reed as a teacher. This was her last year of teaching and now she is retired.
This is Henry with Mrs. Bixby.
Henry got an award for having the highest score on i-Ready
Lyza and Nixon's favorite teacher retired this year so the kids (and some other kids in our neighborhood) made some signs to put in her lawn on the last day of school. Her name is Mrs. Reed (Lyza isn't really that bad at spelling ;)
We all went to the beach that afternoon
Nixon and Mason's primary activity was building tool boxes for their dad...I got to help them, surprise!
Mason helped make the cake for his friend party (which we had early because we were in Oregon on his birthday)
We had Mason's party at a new (to us) indoor play place in Spokane Valley
He had a fun crew
They had lots of fun. Then we came home to eat. Mason chose hot dogs and burgers.
He loved opening presents
And then they did a pinata that Mason made himself
And then it was time for his cake
It was hard to do his candles because of the wind
He had a fun party
Kim took the kids to Manito Park one day for a RS activity
They saw a heron
These are so cool
Eating lunch together
They also played at a park there
Krispy Creme gave the kids a donut for each A they got on their report cards. There were lots of donuts!
Henry helped Kim make some breakfast cookies
Kim tried to convince Mason that we should bring this rain jacket to Oregon for him. He wasn't having it!
Our neighbor showed off his agate collection and taught Kim and the kids how to find them on Oregon beaches
Mason got to open a few birthday gifts before we left for Oregon
What a cool dude
He made this with instructions from the new book he got
Nixon helped Kim make some overnight oats for our breakfast for the morning we left for Oregon
Next up: The Keyes Great Oregon Adventure 2024. Stay tuned!
Tons of fun stuff! Nice that you had a good celebration for Father's Day and Mason's Birthday before your trip.
