Just a couple more photos. It has been great having Jill in town!

Kindergarten Graduation

Ahhh how they grow so fast!! William just graduated from kindergarten! it was a beautiful ceremony. His class sang 3 songs all in Spanish of-course. Then they played the commencement music as they called each kid to the stage where they received their certificate! The hand-made caps from construction paper added the finishing touch! We are very proud parents! Senorita Joyner was a great teacher and I am sure William will miss her!!

Mom Retirement Party

So Kari's mom finally decided to retire from teaching at the Jr High were she had been for the last 21 years. We all think about the day we get to retire but when it comes its an emotional time. Karen was surrounded by co-works, family and Friends to celebrate a wonderful time in her life. The party went off without any hitches, both Kari and I took the day off work to run around and get everything just right for the party. Jill intended to help but her D%@# plane broke in Arizona forcing the cancellation of her flight and missing pretty much the whole day, she made the last hour of the party so she did make it! but is rather miffed at the airline industry, rightfully so! Kari and I made a slide show for her mom and watched it at the party, here are just a few gems from all the pictures we scanned in!

William started his first real soccer season. Last year we did both soccer and T-Ball, it was too much for mom and dad, so this year we asked William to pick one! I was so happy to hear him choose soccer, how european of him!! :) He recieved his jersey and when mom found out his jersey number was #23 she smiled and said that it was David Beckham's number!

I just love this picture of the Nate and Charlie, Nate figured out how to turn the faucet on in the backyard, and the 2 of them decided to have some fun in the mud!!




William learned how to rollerblade over the Memorial Camping trip. He got to watch mom do it first then picked it up himself!
