Golfing & June Fun!!!

Lauren had her last day of preschool for the year on my birthday so we went out to lunch and took a ride on the carousel! She did so great this year that they invited her to the advanced class for next year so she'll be going to school everyday next year (3 hours a day).   That should prep her for kindergarten pretty well.  
 This past weekend we did some putt putt golfing.  
Connor has been fixated on golfing so we finally took him, he needs to do some work on his swing as of right now he looks like a hockey player, and he cheats A LOT!  He wouldn't let me take his picture, but here is Lauren on a turtle and right after her first HOLE IN ONE!!!!!!

As you can see they had a ton of fun on this one

Early June 2012

 Found some more pictures from the past few weeks I thought I'd share with everyone. 

A few weeks ago we took our first fishing trip of the year - Our boat isnt ready for the water yet so 
Bumpa Jim was nice enough to take us out for a quick trip. We were only out for about an hour and 
Lauren caught the only fish! It was her first fish she ever caught by herself and it was even on her 
Barbie Fishing Pole!She was so proud of herself as you can see in the picture, except she said the 
fish was to icky to hold so daddy had to help.  
 
 More pictures from our backyard/practice camping trip - Connor loves his marshmallows!
 
 And Lauren loves roasting them, actually just catching them on fire. 
 Lauren is back at Auburn Gymnastics and is having a blast! 
She finally decided she likes gymnastics over ballet, 
hopefully that's a tiny step towards her liking soccer.
We can only hope.....

Memorial Weekend 2012

Memorial Weekend!
We stayed close to home but did lots of fun stuff!

Had the first fire of the year and roasted marshmallows. 
Camped in the backyard - Lauren called it practice camping

 Sunday we went up to Tahoma and then to the train museum in Snoqualmie
And once again like I do during almost every family outing I tried to get one picture 
of both the kids looking at the camera and smiling - why do I even try?...

Attempt #1 - both smiling - not sure what Lauren's looking at
 Attempt # 2: and now Connor is day dreaming
 Connor wouldn't even get in these pictures - but Lauren was loving the attention and pretending to get run over by trains - she actually wanted to lay down on the tracks in front of them and have 
Connor come save her.  She watches way to many Disney movies.  

 Attempt #3 - what is Lauren looking at now?          Attempt #4 - They were dancing ?........
 Attempt #5 - FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! Connor I'll take that as a smile
 And the kids with Joe by the river
