Preschool Visit Day
On Mason's last preschool visit day, Nathan and I got to do some fun activities with Mason including bead art and planting a seed!

We watched a slide show!

Mason received his Preschool Diploma from Ms. Becca! What a fun year you've had at preschool!

A Busy Saturday
The first thing on our agenda was racing in a triathlon! Nathan did the swimming and running and I did the biking! The boys did a great job cheering us on!

The second thing on our agenda was watching/coaching/playing soccer! Dorian and Levi both play on different teams. Nathan coaches Levi's team. Mason and I enjoy watching from the sidelines!

The third thing on our agenda was to eat lunch at our house with Jason Rosema before he headed back to MI for the summer!

Then we drove to the lakes and took out our fishing poles for the first time of the season! Levi caught the first fish. It was hilarious because the fish he hooked was smaller than his lure!

Dorian caught a drum and a carp!

Matt, Paul and their kids came to fish too and they stayed out until dark!

Garage Sale, Gardening, and Garage Organization

Spring always feels like the time of year when the house needs to be cleared out, cleaned up and organized! After having a garage sale, I was inspired to get the gardening stuff out to plant a few flowers and the toys picked up outside and ready for the summer!

Wrapping up another school year

Mason's last day of preschool! I loved being able to drop him off and pick him up at his classroom every day!

Mason did well saying his Bible verses and singing with his preschool friends at his closing program!

I loved watching Dorian sing in his choir concert!

Dorian did a sack relay at the Dordt Track Meet with Brady.

Levi played a couple of songs on his cello with the orchestra at school!

The boys wrapped up their soccer season!

SCCS had their Talent Extravaganza program!

Summer Vacation begins for Mason
I was very impressed with Mason's counting when he was playing Camel Cup (his favorite game right now) and correctly added up all these $20's!

Mason finished his puppy puzzle!

Mason loves to get the mail from the mailbox and it's even better when you happen to be outside when the mail carrier comes!

Last Day of School for Dorian and Levi

I love it that they can bike to and from school! They were super excited to arrive home on their last day of school!

The boys had a half day of school and by the afternoon, we had 9 boys at our house!

Fishing
Dorian has been daydreaming and obsessing about summer vacation and being able to fish again! He and Brady biked to Sandy Hollow together with their fishing poles!
