Raly's First Sewing Lesson

Grandma gave Raly her first sewing lesson in May. The day started with a trip to JoAnne's (which lasted no less than two hours) to pick out fabric and a pattern for a purse (and dress that Grandma is working on). Raly really enjoyed the experience and loves her new purse.

The new Atwood Pool had their grand opening while we were in Atwood. Rhett helped the kids on the diving board and by the end of the day, Raly and Reese were jumping off the board and swimming to the side all by themselves.

Jack got baptized in Atwood, but I don't have any digital pictures to share.

Preschool Graduation

Preschool graduation seems a little over the top, but it was cute and the kids had fun. Reese is ready to be in Kindergarten.

First Grade Picnic

At the end of the school year, Raly enjoyed her class picnic. These are two of her good friends.

Picture Time!

So, my mom told me that she would not allow me in her house for Memorial Weekend if I didn't bring her a 5x7 picture of Jack. I know it's really terrible, but we just haven't made professional pictures a priority. Anyway, I made an attempt to take a "frame worthy" picture. Reese and Raly each wanted a picture with Jack, too.

Raly's last day as first grader.

It was a sad day for her (and me!). She didn't want it to be her last day with Mrs. Irwin.

Monkey Bars!

Raly loves the monkey bars! At one playground near our house, they have four or five different kinds. It's definitely Raly's favorite playground!
