Drew's Pre-School Graduation

Drew has officially graduated from pre-school and is heading to Kindergarden this fall. I can't believe it. I can't believe how fast time has gone. Her school puts on a cute presentation each year. Through the years here in the desert we've established such a great group of friends and now all of our kids are growing up together. We were lucky enough that her dance partner was Luke and Zoe's dance partner was Mason so it was easy to get pictures. The graduation was on the same night as Peyton's baseball playoff game so we raced over as soon as he was done, hence the dirty uniform.

Clementine Patisserie & Boulangerie

Christophe and Jen have opened a new business here in the desert and if you haven't had the chance to see it, you're missing out. Clemetine's is an adorable shop right next to Trader Joes in Palm Desert. It has amazing tasty treats as well as home goods that are great for gifts or for yourself. Congrats to them on becoming business owners!!

Mother's Day

Mother's day was probably my best one yet. Although, I don't have any pictures of my morning to show of it. The kids each made me homemade gifts and Mark wrote me a heartfelt letter that took my breath away. The mere fact that he took the time at work to sit at his desk in the hot kitchen and pour his heart out to me on paper was amazing. It was the absolute best gift I could have ever, ever asked for. I've read that letter almost daily because it makes me so happy. After he got off of work we went over to the Hershbergers' to celebrate Tasha's and Zoltan's birthday. The guys played Bag in a Box which is basically bean bag toss, the kids played hula hoop and football and us mom's analyzed the latest people magazine, talked and completely relaxed. It was so great spending time with wonderful friends. One last thing.....I stole all of these pics from wonderful Courney's blog because I forgot my camera that day.

Family

Third annual Cousins Weekend. We've done Mexico, Vegas and this year we stayed here in the desert. With Erica being close to her due date and Breanne being 3 months along, we decided it would be easiest to stay local, save money and be together. We barbequed, swam, went bowling and found a new fro-yo place. That was pretty important. The cousins were even loving enough to come and support Peyton and watch his baseball game. Can't wait until San Luis Obispo next year!
