Cheeseburger Mini Sliders Anyone?
Cupcakes for the buns with sesame seeds to top, Brownies for the beef patty, Orange Starbursts for the cheese and frosting for the lettuce and ketchup or tomato. Cute huh? These were very easy and pretty cute for Father's Day!
Matt at his finest at the BBQer!
Father's Day Dinner was DELISH.
BreAnna went a little "Fork Crazy" with the holes for the potatoes :)
The week before Father's Day we celebrated with the Jackson's for Grandpa Gary's B-day party as well, it was a lot of fun. Cheryl put fun posters together for the dads with memories and a Golf Certificate Treat for the guys, it was very thoughtful!
Saydee LOVED the watermelon. The repercussions of it weren't too fun for her though...so sad, nothing agrees with her little tummy. She wants to eat big people food so bad.
Fun with Terry the Dog for Brooke and Jill.
Grandma put Bre in charge of the raffle tickets for some bday games.
Jarom has became a bit more comfortable holding Saydee now that she's not so little baby breakable to him.

Then it was time for the real thing...Dance Recital Evening!
For their recital, Ellie and Brooklynne were both in Tap Performances this year. Brooklynne with "Lullabye on Broadway" and Ellie with "Rock Around the Clock" then Bre danced a solo with "Why Try" to a Lyrical Contemporary Piece.
The girls all did a great job.
Spencer is officially in Middle School now. He graduated from 5th grade and Elementary School from Daffodil Valley and now on to the Bigger and Better right?! They had a simple BBQ for their grad party for the family and served hot dogs, chips and salad from the lettuce they grew in their garden that they harvested. Congrats Spencer!
Getting his 11 year old immunizations and his MS physical check up for sports. He looks so thrilled, he had psyched himself up so much about these dumb shots and they didn't even hurt, he took them like a pro and didn't even flintch, silly kid!
Josh's Choir Concert for the 2nd Graders.
He's center on the right on the xylophones, sorry blurry pics :) but the kids all did great.

The liquid solution to the Swiffer Mopper was empty and they make it so you have to buy more of their product with a new solution cleaning product- so Josh was in attempt to rig it to make it so he could add more of his own solution to the container so he could finish mopping the wood floors downstairs. (If you look closely you can see he grabbed a balloon, scissors, masking tape, curling ribbon and duct tape from the junk drawer in his attempt to make the fix :)
This was a completely different day. No clue what he had made from all of this but it was the mess and after math I found on the counter top and he was no where to be found (outside playing.) The constructing, creating, imagination, engineering (call it what you may) all's I know is that it's CONSTANT with Josh...Matt bought him and Ellie craft tables for their bedrooms awhile back in attempts to keep the creativity in their own areas which has worked okay but the messes in the kitchen still live on...
Saydee with the Sasser Twins Callie and Cohen, these kids were so cute playing together!!!
The Bees are a Buzzing now!

Jarom missed his buddy Austin's bday this past month since he celebrated it over Memorial Weekend when we were out of town so he had him over and we took them out to Red Robin to make up for it. Happy 16th Austin!
Bre started Drivers Ed last month. She asks to go driving on a daily basis...
All the Scouts pulling the rope against a few leaders.
Don't underestimate these Cubs- Leaders!!!
Pull, Pull, Tug Tug Tug O War at Cub Pack Meeting. The Cub Scouts had a fun pack meeting with the flag ceremony, hot dogs, chip, popsicles, awards and fun outdoor activities as this will be their last pack meeting before we head into SUMMER time! The weather was perfect for a good outdoor activity.
Josh is such a comedian, he's got a fun and very funny quirky personality!!!
Josh loves himself some OUTDOORS!
The Cottonwood in Sumner has been crazy, it almost looks like snow as it's filling the air outdoors and sky. It's kind of fun to see and watch but it's a bad one for the allergies, causing the eyes, throat and head aches.
