First Week of June

Monday June 1st

 Garrett had gone to California for work for the day and it was Jacob and Meggin's last day in town.  So, we got together for dinner at Subway.  This was one last picture of the cousins before they took off. 

Wednesday June 3rd

 Maggie got Imagine Dragons concert tickets for her birthday and it was finally the day!  We stopped at 5 Guys Burgers for dinner on our way to Portland.  

 Taking pictures while we were waiting.  

 It took FOREVER for them to come on.  They had 2 opening acts--something I have never seen in all my concert "experiences".  They didn't come on until like 9:30 or closer to 10.  They were totally worth it though!

 They opened with "Shots" and it was so fun!

 Maggie and Lydia both loved it!

It was such a fun concert and they put on a great show!

I found this picture on the internet--it was taken at our concert.  

Friday June 5th

Noah's Preschool Graduation

 We are officially done with preschool!!  Noah loved his preschool years at Calvary Lutheran.  Such great teachers and such good friends to help him a long the way.

 They sang us a few songs...

 ...and then we had donuts!

 One of his teachers, Miss Becky

 and his other teacher Miss Christy

 This was a picture of him on the first day of Preschool back in September...

 ...and on the last day in June!

 This is a picture of his whole preschool class. 

Saturday June 6th

 Today I decided to cut Paige and Bella's hair.  For some reason, I only took a before picture of Paige and an after picture of Bella, with someone's hair in the middle.  I cut them exactly the same, so you get the idea by looking at Bella.  :)  I cut them pretty short!

Playing outside and eating popsicles!

Mid April

Tuesday April 7th

Paige is in 4th grade and is learning about Oregon history.  They learn a lot about the native Indians.  They have to make an Indian village--in years past it has been required, but this year it was optional.  Paige was so excited about making one because she's seen Maggie and Lydia make one with Garrett and she wanted a turn.  So this is her and Garrett putting together her village.  

Wednesday April 8th

A big part of 4th grade is putting on an Indian Potlatch, like the native Indians used to do. Paige had a few speaking parts in it.  

This is her headdress and necklace that they made for the potlatch.

Thursday April 9th

Paige had a busy week!  On this day, the 4th graders went on an all day field trip to the Oregon Coast.  They left at 6:30 in the morning and came back at 6:30 that night.  Such a long day, but she was so glad that she went! Here are some of the pictures that she took:

Sunday April 12th

Garrett and I after church

Garrett looking fantastic after losing about 100 lbs. I'm so proud of him!

Monday April 13th

Some friends of ours, The Kelley's had extra tickets to the Garth Brooks' concert and wanted to know if we wanted to go with them.  The tickets weren't together, so we didn't get to sit with them, but we rode there together and had dinner there.  I used to love Garth Brooks, but hadn't really heard his new stuff, but I was excited to go.

Garrett and I before it started. Such a bad picture with bad lighting.  

a panoramic view of the Moda center.  It was packed!

It was such a fun concert--he played mostly old stuff which I was really excited about!

Tim and Tonya were closer to the stage than we were, so I borrowed some of their pictures.  His wife, Trisha Yearwood was there and sang a couple with him and a few of her own.

It was a fun night!

Wednesday April 15th

Paige had another field trip.  This time they went to the Tillamook Forestry Center.

Thursday April 16th

Paige's Science Fair Project was about seeing which tomato plant grew best with what liquid.  She used water, sparkling water, crystal light, crush soda, milk and salt water. 

And this is Noah with a pig mask that he made at school.
