Grandma Jamieson challenged  all the grand kids to read everyday for the month of June, if they did she would have an ice cream party. Connor made sure that he read everyday so he could put a sticker on his calendar.  They boys had fun playing all the games. Parker didn't move from the football toss. After all the games were done and the ice cream was gone the younger cousins attacked Derek on the trampoline.

I wanted to get to Connor kindergarten  graduation at a good time so that I could get a good seat some good pictures. We had to stand by the wall, which was fine because we were upfront by Connor. As the program began all the parents with sit stood up and came right in front of us. I need to get a better lens most of the pictures I took ended up blurry. I was so proud of Connor he sang all the songs. In his preschool graduation he sang a word or two in every other song. Connor has learned a lot this year and is excited for 1st grade to start.

 

 I think next year at the parade I will buy my own candy and throw in up in the air at odd times during the parade. Why just salt water taffy. The boys spent the night at Grandma Jamieson house so that James and I could run the 5k in the morning.

 Erika had a party on the 24. We try not to tell our boys too far in advance if we are going to be going to a cousin home or a party because the will count down the days and tells us 20 times a day how many days are left or who's house we will be at and who is in the family. So when it came time for the party the boys were so excited. Connor enjoyed being in the "big pool" while Parker was happy running around jumping in the small pools set up for kick ball. Nothing like good food and family bondage.

Erika sent me a text message letting my know that it was National Chocolate pudding day. Chocolate pudding is a staple at out house.

 Connor has been looking for ward to his birthday for months. It seems like we have been counting down since Parker's birthday. He said that he wanted Mac and Cheese (from Holy Smoke) and Lego's.  As time got closer his list got a little longer.

 Parker is obsessed with Baseball. He will ask to sleep with his bat or ball sometimes both. I am not a professional pitch by any means and that makes him made. We both have learned where to throw and also that you don't need to get upset if you don't hit the ball every time. We thought that we should buy him a little pitching machine. Well that made him more made because the ball doesn't go just right. So we are back to pitching to him.

 Well these two pictures are just random. Stacie was asked me to take some pictures for her while they had some cement poured and Brian was entertaining Parker with his phone (trying to get him to take a break from the game let's see how many time I can throw this ball over Brian's head and make him get the ball). I cant remember where I was when Connor got hurt but I came home to this. He had the idea of putting a bike ramp on the edge of the trampoline and jump off. He kept saying it's going to be so cool Dad.
