Strangers

Yes, we have become strangers. I know it's been a while, and I don't even have a good excuse. I'm going to try to catch up on few of our recent events, but it's going to take a couple of posts...sorry! :) First is Mother's Day. I had a great day with some exciting visitors. Our favorite friends (family really) from AZ came to spend the weekend with us. We have missed them so much! We had lots of fun with them at soccer, Bananas Fun Park, the dinosaur museum, and the river. Of course, there was also mountain biking involved :) The next event might seem silly to most of you, but it was important to us :) Our yellow lab Layla had her 10th birthday. We've had her since she was a puppy and it's hard to believe that she is already so old! She doesn't do much anymore and she is such a good dog.
Soccer is finally over! Don't get me wrong, it was fun and the girls loved it, but it's nice to have a break before next season. It has been so good for the girls and Chad. He is trying really hard to learn "girl sports" since he doesn't have a boy to teach wrestling/football! He is going to be one of Carli's coaches next season...should be fun! The Brownlows were here to watch their last game :0)
An exciting event is Regan graduated from Joy School this month! For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a preschool group we put together that is taught by the moms. We had a curriculum we followed and we rotated to a different house each week. A lot of work but a lot of fun!! She is already missing her Joy School friends!Carli is done with 1st grade (CRAZY!) and is already excited for 2nd grade. She has grown so much this last school year and is a great student! She had a great teacher and we will miss her!
Summer has officially started and we have already been sooooo busy! I will update more later. We will try not to be strangers! Happy Summer!

It's hard to believe the girls are already for 2nd grade. They're getting so big! Time is flying by way too fast. Thanks for the update. It's fun to hear about what you've been up to.

Just checking in on the Darling Dares. Looks like you've been having a lot of fun.

I know what you mean about being relieved that soccer is over.
