Summer Vacation in Wisconsin

OK so these are not quite finished, but since we are currently in Springfield, MO at conference and when we get back, we have to "move in" to our new house, I figured I better get them up.
We spent the first part of our summer vacation in Janesville, WI. John was finishing up his last Summer Institute class and thanks to Randy and Marcy Kersten, we were all able to come and stay the 2 weeks with him.

We had a great time at the Kersten's home and made new friends. Xavier and Corbin got a long great and Corbin wanted to do all the cool things X could do. They even slept in the same room together.
Addison and Natalie took awhile to warm up to each other, but still kept their eyes on one another through the 2 weeks. They both have very strong dominant personalities. So, watch out! :)

We spent most of our time visiting the local parks and then Palmer Park. That place is awesome! A free large wading pool?!?!?!?! We went every chance we got, even twice in one day. :)

We also got to visit with Uncle Nick and Aunt Brittany. Aunt Brittany is pregnant and we are all so excited!!!! She will be a terrific mommy!

Wisconsin was a lot of fun. We have such great friends/family there. I think we will have to make sure to visit more often now that John is done with Summer Institute.

Xavier Graduates from Kindergarten!!!

One handsome little fella!

Getting his diploma from Dr. Barber. (A woman jumped right in front of me while I was taking this picture. NOT HAPPY!)

Our Graduate!!

The cake one parent made. It was super cool and all different kinds of cake flavors.

Xavier graduated from Kindergarten on May 3, 2010. His school made a big deal out of the whole thing. They wore caps and gowns, got brass rings, and a diploma. The ceremony was very cute. They sang 2 songs and one was a rap that the music teacher had written. Xavier was super cute while singing the rap. Alexis took video of that one, so I will have to get a copy.

There were a lot of humorous moments as well as some frustrating ones. But overall it was sweet to see our little boy graduate. He seems to think that you graduate from every grade. LOL! Oh well he will eventually learn.
