Joyful June!

When we got back to Austin from Scotland all we wanted to do was wake up the kiddos but somehow resisted and waited until the morning! It was so wonderful to see their faces wake up to see us back home!

The big event of the week was Jake's graduation from Pre-K and the JCC's Early Childhood Program (ECP) where he has been since he was 21 months old! 


His official graduation photo!
The graduation was really nice and the kids were so excited and proud to have graduated!



Jake said when they practiced graduating they were supposed to walk in, wave and smile! He was perfect!



Proud Mommy & Daddy!


That night we had a party for the Tiger class families. It ended up being only the boys of the class and it was a really nice time for all. The relatively grumpy faces were because we interrupted their lego talk!

Allie was obsessed with the slide! After about a zillion slides I finally gave up. Good thing she has daddy wrapped around her finger!


Although the night was for the Tigers, Allie and Max certainly upped the cuteness of the evening.



Jake and I went to a graduation party on Sunday! Gorgeous Spider-Man! 


I realized when we got home from Scotland that there was a week off in between Pre-K and camp starting for Jake. I'm not sure how I missed it but I was scrambling! Luckily I found KidzArt! 



They learned all about different artist and then did their own interpretation of that artists work. My favorite is the Picasso and how Jake showed off how the eyes were mismatched. At the end of the week they had an art show where they displayed their work for the week. 

Just a few pieces of the little artists work and his inspirations. 










Lazy Saturday morning playing with Rescue Heroes and Allie's hostile takeover of Gotham City as a dollhouse.





We had a great Father's Day celebrating one of the best daddy's around! We had a great brunch at Blue Dahlia Bistro and ordered a little bit of everything...amazing crepes and frittata! Yum! 


Allie had her first splash day at school and she loved it! I love that her teacher texts us pictures!


Think she likes it?
Jake started camp at the JCC which is really his school with swimming but he's having fun with his buddies! 








Western/Farm day at camp! Love it when an old Halloween costume can be recycled!

It's Texas, it's the summer and it's hot! That means ice cream and time to start hitting the splash pad and the pool.

DIVA!



I love the splash pad and the kids do too! It's safe and fun for the kiddos! 
Jake gives Allie the rundown on the splash pad.






I had a nice but low-key birthday! Jake and Allie enjoyed my birthday cupcake and even shared a little with me. 

Following Jake's turn as a cow this week, you can guess who wanted to have her own turn!


Sweet sibling snuggles!
