We set up the giraffe tent inside and read lots of books,
the kids painted some pictures,

and enjoyed hot dogs for supper!
This was my favorite picture from the weekend - Zane climbing up to the sink to brush his teeth!
We have all enjoyed having Noni and Papa come watch some of Sabrina and Wyatt's t-ball games this month.
It was the perfect afternoon for some slip n slide fun!
The kids spent hours running,
sliding,
and crawling through the water!
This week was VBS week at church. The kids enjoyed storytime...
cute crafts...
yummy snacks...
silly songs...
and super fun games. It was a great week!
Zane has made the move to a big boy bed this week. He was all smiles and giggles when he climbed into his bed for the night. He slept well and was still smiling when he climbed out of his bed the next morning!
We took our art activity outside today and painted some flowers in the garden. The kids had a lot of fun and painted some wonderful flowers.
This week Zane started calling Sabrina "Nina". He's had names for everyone else, but just hadn't created a name for her yet. Now we hear "Nina!" all the time. He loves his biggest sister so much! He knows that if I am ever busy and can't get something for him all he has to do is ask Sabrina and she will be right their ready to help.
Sabrina and Wyatt played their first t-ball game today. They both had some great hits...
but their favorite part was running the bases and getting Gatorade after the game!
We celebrated our first day of summer by making some chocolate pudding pops.
They were messy, but really yummy!
The last day of school is always "bike day" at the kids' preschool. The kids have been looking forward to it for weeks!
I brought Zane's bike up to school so that he could ride around with the kids. He felt like such a big boy!
Monique was could hardly wait for her classes turn to ride in the parking lot. She asked me to take lots of pictures of her!
Wyatt enjoyed a snow cone with his friends during a break from all of the bike riding.
Sabrina and her friend Hannah were all smiles while they were swinging and eating their snow cones. 
Colter has been practicing all month so that he could ride his bike without training wheels on bike day. He was so proud of himself!
Sabrina's preschool graduation was today and she could not have been more excited about the day's activities. 
At her graduation all of the kids shared their favorite thing about school and what they want to be when they grow up. Sabrina said that she likes playing with her friends and wants to be a mom when she grows up.
A few weeks ago I put the little potty in the bathroom just to see what Zane would do. He sat on it a few times and looked at a couple of books before he discovered it's true value as a stool. Now he regularly drags it out of the bathroom and uses it to watch the fish or climb into his chair. Yesterday I did find him sitting on it in the bathroom (fully clothed!) after I had told all of the kids to go potty before we got in the car! So we're hopeful that eventually it will become more than just a stool!
These are just a few of my favorite pictures from Sabrina's dance recital...
She loved being up on stage - her eyes were sparkling the entire night!
Just look at those cute fairy wings!
Because her recital was in Amarillo, Meme and Ken (the girls foster parents) were able to come watch with us.
Noni, Aunt Megan and Aunt Cathryn also drove up from Lubbock to watch out sweet little ballerina.
It has been pretty cool around here the past few weeks and the kids have been anxious to play in the water. Finally today was warm enough to pull out the sprinkler and the kids had a blast running around the backyard. Now if it will just warm up enough for the swimming pool...
Danny was on call this weekend, so the kids and I spent Sunday in Lubbock. We had a fun afternoon and evening just being with family.
Colter loved exploring the inside of the ambulance (especially after I told him that sometimes Daddy gets to ride in the back of this ambulance!).
Sabrina walked across the back of the fire truck. 
Monique cautiously checking out the Sheriff's truck with her class.
Noni and Abi drove up for a playdate today. Craig told Abi that she could get extra dirty today, so we made sure to spend some time in the sandbox!
Colter and Sabrina had their Spring Music Program for school tonight. They have been excited about this program for weeks, so it was lots of fun to get to see them perform.
What a great group of kids. We are so blessed to have our preschool!
These two would seriously not know what to do without each other. They have developed a truly special bond!
Colter, Sabrina and Mrs. Pybus
Colter won a coloring contest at school today. His picture will be hung up at the bank and he got a new coloring book and a bag of candy. He was very proud and excited about his accomplishment. Yeah, Colter!
