Grove Kiddos

The following pictures are guaranteed to put an enormous smile on your face!

The kindies...too cute for words!

The first graders...they're so silly!

The second graders...a talkative bunch!

The third graders...very respectful kids!

The fourth graders...gotta love them!

And the fifth graders...obviously not into pictures...

These are some of the incredible kids I get to work with every day. See why I love my job! It has only been 2 days since school got out and I already miss them!

First Kayaking Adventure of the Summer

Last weekend it was super hot and sunny, so we decided to bust out the kayaks! We sat out on Bennington Lake for a few hours in the middle of a weekend full of work...it was delightful!

Josh thought it would be funny to lift my boat up out of the water with me in it.

Memorial Day Weekend

We flew down to California for Marlowe's college graduation and packed a week's worth of activities into 4 days...so much fun!

When Josh and I got off the plane on Friday we picked up our rental car and headed straight for Six Flags Magic Mountain!

Gotham City...home of one of our favorites, "The Riddler," a crazy looping stand up roller coaster. We waited extra long just to be in the front row...it was totally worth it!

Josh's first looping roller coaster ever!

The greatest and craziest roller coaster of all time! And our absolute favorite!

SCREAM!

On Saturday we went to Marlowe's graduation. We are all so proud of him for graduating, and with a double major too!

On Sunday we went to San Diego!

We visited Point Loma and walked on Sunset Cliffs.

We took the ferry from downtown to Coronado.

We rode the surry around Coronado...lots of laughing!

Josh and my dad tucked as we coasted down hill preparing for the dip up ahead (notice the word 'dip' painted nicely on the road to warn drivers).

Josh in front of the aircraft carrier. Maybe next time we will have time to tour it.

It was a whirlwind of a trip, but we had a blast! So many great memories!

4-wheeling wonder!

Yesterday Josh and I went for a little adventure in the mountains because it was such a beautiful day! We did see a little snow toward the peak of our journey, however most of the views were breathtakingly green. It was so warm and sunny...the perfect day for a ride!

These last two pictures show Josh's normal hand and his bee stung puffy hand.

All in Bend at the same time!

At the golf course, of course!

Josh and one of his two favorite little girls!

Unfortunately, Ellie likes Milo way more than Milo likes Ellie.

I love Ellie Mae!

My mom is going to be a wonderful grandma someday!

Yea for the Idahoians and the Salemite!

Thanks for making pumpkin pancakes and all of the yummy sides mommy!
