End of May, First of June



Here we go! An update for the end of May and the first of June!

My stepsister Audree graduated high school on the 24th! Here she is getting her diploma!
Audree and Jerri!
Miss A, in her cap and gown, and diploma in hand!
CUTE graduation dress...and SHOES!
On the 26th of May my father celebrated his 47th birthday by inviting people up for dinner and to look at his new house!
Jerri and Keri!
Mike and Kelly!
Gregg and Lisa!
Mariah and Brandon!
Dan and Aydan!
Great Great Grandma Snyder and Great Grandma Curran!
(We had so much fun while these two were here visiting! I just love them to death!)
The boys with the Great Grandma's!
Me and the boys with the Great Grandma's!
Everybody huddled at the bar downstairs.....the bar btw...is awesome...and so unique!
Trace playing Battleship!
Goof Ball Aydan!
We watched countless movies in Grandpa's MOVIE THEATER! Avatar was playing in this picture!
Kelly and Keri!
The boys had lots of fun with their Grandpa Snyder! He basically lets them do anything and get away with anything at his house! They even got to play in the mud (Grandpa still doesn't have any grass) one day...all afternoon! They have fun wrestling, playing bull, and getting swung around! Just like I did when I was little!

Trace fell asleep snuggin' with daddy one of the afternoons we were at Grandpa's!
During our weekend, we started a Harry Potter puzzle! It. was. so. HARD! But we got through it...with only 2 pieces missing!

Aunt Melanie reading Aydan a book!
Trace with a book he wants me to read him!
Another fun thing about staying at Grandpa's house was the Excavator guy was moving big rocks around (that he dug from the ground while flattening it out for Grandpa's yard) and when he would drop the giant rocks, they would make the house shake! Kind of like if a dinosaur was walking around outside!
Five generations! I feel so lucky to have not only 5 generations in one family, but we have 5 generations on both sides of my family. One on my Mom's side, and one on my Dad's side! Pretty dang special!

First of June!
The boys got something fun for this summer! A BOUNCE HOUSE! No I did not pay the original retail price of $199 but a small garage sale price of $40! Whoot! Whoot! The boys love it, and treat it kind of like a club house!


Later that night we ordered pizza and had a backyard pizza picnic!

Then washed the Trailer! Trace kept saying, "I get the nassy off!" Nasty, is what he was trying to say! CUTE!
Saturday we went out garage saling some more...and only found this cute turkey decoration for $2!
Saturday afternoon we got some flowers and Aydan helped me plant them in pots!

Then I filled up some water balloons for the boys to have a water balloon fight!
 Ha! Ha! Summer is just the most, isn't it?!
 Our backyard was filled with fun things to do! Pool, bounce house, and endless amounts of toys!

 See that lawn chair...yeah, that's where I'll be parked all summer! Soakin' it all in!
 Saturday night we had a BBQ with Justin's dad, and his brother and his family! We set up our Badminton game, and had a good ole' time!

Grandma Rosemary just bought Aydan some PIANO BOOKS so we can start practicing this summer!
We have lots to do, and lots planned to do this summer! It's going to be a good one, I can feel it!

Hi Sam!!!
Man, your backyard looks like the FUN ZONE! I am super, super jealous of that bounce house. I have GOT to do better at getting to garage sales so I can find the awesome steals!

Love you,
Amanda

Love, Mom

That's pretty special that you have 5 generations and that your boys know your grandparents/great grandparents! Pretty neat!
Thanks for having us over for the BBQ!
Oh and cute scrapbook pages! Good job! :)
