Family Fun Night

On Sunday our daycare put on a family fun night. When we first got there the girls played games. They had golf, balloon animals and a couple of other games. Throughout the night, they had BBQ's, chips and jello to eat. At 6pm, all of the kids and their parent's went to the "chapel" as the kids call it. Every Wed at daycare, all of the kids meet to sing songs and worship. The teachers decided they wanted to show the parents what they do every week. So each group got up and sang 2 songs. Of course Maddie was up dancing and singing. I stood up to entertain Emma during one of Maddie's songs and she said "There is my Mommy" super load. You know there is always going to be one kids that does that but of course it had to be mine!

Emma's Birthday

Emma blowing out her birthday cake. OK, she really didn't blow it out herself but she did enjoy looking at it. She loved to eat the cake. She was a little leery at first about eating the cake but then she took after her mom and chowed down!!

Castle

Emma got a bouncy castle for her birthday from the Schmidgalls. Both of the girls love to jump and play in there. I just wish we had more room for it!

Graduation

After 3 years, Reggie graduated with his Masters in Business Administration on May 8th. I am so proud of him but I am also envious. I have 1 more year but I have a feeling that it is going to be a hard one!

Girls Weekend

The first weekend in May the girls that I went to nursing school got together for a girls weekend. We try to do it every year and we take turns hosting it. This year it was in Sioux Falls. The boys stayed home this year and we all agreed that next year they are coming!! We had 7 kids under the age of 4.
