Don't Cut Your Own Hair

I'm not sure why Lincoln decided to cut his bangs, but he definitely didn't like the following necessary fix:). "I look bald!"

Good-Bye old Friend

 The van's transmission broke.  The repair was worth more than the value of the vehicle.  We felt like it was time to say goodbye.  The Kia was a great van for us.  We were grateful that the kids and I were ok and able to be rescued when it broke down.

We got a New New Sienna.  It's not our nature to buy new, but it had a great warranty, price, and 0% financing.  We're planning on this van lasting twenty years, at least:).

Father's Day

I'm so blessed to have Joe as the father of my children.  We tried to let him take it easy starting with breakfast in bed.  I must have done a good job because I was exhausted at the end of the day. 

Joe works so hard to help the children feel loved.  He spends a lot of time with the kids entertaining them and is very patient with them.  I couldn't ask for a better husband.

Lincoln's 6th Birthday

 Rachel and I made a mess making the pinata.

 Lincoln's breakfast request.  I don't know if he loved being woken up.

The Pokemon Birthday Party

Somehow we ended up with 12 kids at the party but it turned out well.

Their favorite day of school!

New Recruits!

We finally convinced someone that Lexington is the best place on earth and they should move here.  Congratulations to the Deanna, Dale, and Elli for being the first recruits!

 Elli's doggy party was pretty sweet

(We'll throw your kid a birthday party if you move here.)

Advancments

Hannah took part in a preschool advancement ceremony.  It was cute.  She loves to preform on stage.
