wrapping up the school year!!

At Cameron's award ceremony...
Cameron's show American History...he was Ben Franklin

'Lunch with a loved one" day. I went in and had lunch with Tess and Cameron.

Today is the last day of school. It has been a crazy month for us. I flew back to Dickinson for my 25 year college reunion- FANTASTIC!!. Then on to Florida for my mom's surgery-which thank GOD went well and she is doing great And then home for all the end of year activities...needless to say...exhausting! I am very much LOOKING FORWARD TO SUMMER! YAY!!

...that time of year...

We are a bit late getting our garden going this year. Cameron, Tess and I finally had an afternoon to go to Plant Depot to pick out our vegetables for this years garden. We went with zuchini, peppers, carrots, beets, lettuce of many kinds, cucumbers and squash. We still have potatoes and squash on the other side from last year. Check back in a m0nth or so to see the progress!!

Cabo!!

Off to Cabo with Christine, Cameron and Tess. Jeff and Bennett went to Maryland- I'd say we got the better end of the deal!!

Cameron and Tess spent everyday in the pool morning til night!! At 95 degrees it's where you wanted to be!
Best part of the day...mango margaritas!!
Jonas gang with the Mariachi band!!!
3 of my beautiful kids!!!

We took beautiful long walks everyday down the beach...HEAVEN!!

We had planned a quick family trip to Cabo for Memorial day weekend since the kids had 5 days off. Jeff and Bennett ended up going to Maryland for the lacrosse championships so I decided to go anyway with the 3 other kids. It was a really nice 5 days to catch up with Christine and just relax!! Missed the big boys but we met some fun people and had an amazing time...

water...

...We took this picture on our drive down to Soddo... young kids were getting water at a brown dirty river. We began to recognize that these yellow plastic bottles are for water transport. We saw them everywhere. What is so shocking is that the drinking water they collect is just so dirty-which is why typhoid is so prevalent. There are so many great organizations working for clean water...we saw first hand how important that is. Find one and support it. The one we work with is www.charitywater.org
