Ivy's Birthday

 Ivy's happy to be 11, but more happy that next year she'll be 12. 

I have asked her if she wouldn't mind to slow it down a little bit, but no one ever listens to me.

Here she, Annie, and Emma change the color of her Barbie's hair by painting it with cold water. Why can't someone come up with a trick like that for MY hair?

Ella came was there. 

(She's growing her bangs out.)

Cake!!

Fire!

Dancing!!

Boys!

Best 11 year old birthday party EVER.

Graduation!!

We made it through another school year. The last two weeks were filled with plays,concerts, field trips, finals, stress, and relief.

Ivy's class put on an educational program about the history of America. 

It was lovely.

Eli graduated from the sixth grade with all A's and B's. I told him he did a great job, as you can see he was hoping for a trip to Hawaii. (Also, what the heck is Nate doing back there?)

Here Ivy displays the traditional last day of school shirt. 

Also known as the Summer Rolodex.

Speaking of graduation.....

Wesley graduated from Mountain View.

Here he practices the face he plans to make when they tell him there was an error and he actually IS the valedictorian.

Here he just practices being a dork.

And Nate, well, who knows what Nate does. 

This is his Tiger pose. Based on the variety and originality of his pose selections I think we should expect to see him on the runway during fashion week soon.

Look! Graduates!! 

Aren't they cute?

Here we have Wes, Edge, and Jessica. (Yes~That Jessica)

Congratulations Wesley!!!!
