Happy Father's Day and Anniversary!

Gene and I celebrated our eleventh wedding anniversary this weekend. Friday, he gave me flowers then on Saturday he took me out to eat at one of my favorite restaraunts, Solstice - we had a private table and a bottle of our favorite wine, it was very sweet!

For Father's Day, I had no idea what to get Gene, so I took the boys shopping with me Friday to help pick something out and they decided Daddy needed a TV for the bedroom, so that's what he got along with a home-made card from the boys (Gene thinks those are the best ones). Since Griffin's not a very good secret-keeper we gave Gene his gift Friday night. Needless to say he was very excited and loved it. He's a great dad to our boys. They would rather play with their daddy than do anything else in the world and even though I know he doesn't always feel like running outside or upstairs when they call for him, he rises to the occasion. He would do anything to make us happy and we love him very much!!!

Away at Camp

Gage went to Look up Lodge which is a church camp in Greenville. He was gone for 4 days and we really missed him. We were worried about him getting home sick since he wasn't allowed to call home unless it was an emergency. He went last year and after the first night he was missing us. This year he had a great time and although he missed us he didn't get home sick. While he was gone we took Griffin to see Kung Fu Panda. We had fun but we felt like we were missing something the whole time Gage was gone. We're glad to have you back home Gage!

Graduations

Griffin graduated from 4K a couple of weeks ago (I know I'm a little late). It was a very cute ceremony. Griffin counted from 1-100 and cited the one vowel rule. He was nervous but he did fine. Now its time for me to get ready for another first day of school. It doesn't seem like its been that long since I dropped Gage off on his first day of kindergarten and I was just pregnant with Griffin. The other picture is from Gage's 5th grade graduation/awards day. He won the presdential award for academic achievement along with some other awards. He's going to be in middle school now and I still can't believe that!
