School's Out

Today was the last day of school for my boys. I can not believe this school year is done already. Time has gone by so quickly. 

We were able to go and see Dallin graduate Kindergarten, they were so cute singing their songs. Dallin loved Kindergarten and will miss it, however he kept saying that today was the best day of his life. We had the very best Kindergarten  teacher, Jared had her also, Mrs. Young is the most patient and loving people you can ever meet. I hope that we can stay here for another 6 years so that all my boys can be in her Kindergarten class. I will be posting some of Dallin's most wonderful artwork. I need to scan and take pictures of it. 

Jared is also happy to be out of school for the summer. He had a great teacher also with Mrs. Basler, she was sweet and understanding of his needs. I had to tease him for a minute when he came home with his yearbook. He had at least 10 phone numbers of different girls written in the back of it. He  was so nonchalant about it and just shrugged his shoulders and smiled at me. "its just in case we want to have a play date Mom" 

Now we are off for our summer of fun! To start it out we are going on a two week road trip. It promises to produce many pictures and memories. I am looking forward to it. 

Photo's of Boys as promised

Jared in his handsome scouts uniform. He loves going to scouts and his leaders are so nice and patient with him. I need to brag about Jared for a minute. Jared is now reading the last book in the Series of Unfortunate Events books, that is a 13 book series. I love how he just loves to read. At least he gets that from me if everything else is from his Daddy. 

Dallin my sweet Dallin, who is now 6 will be graduating Kindergarten this month. I can't believe it. We will very much miss Mrs. Young. Who knows if we stay here for another couple years Shane will be going to her class. 

Dallin is so cute sometimes. Here he is being his normal dramatic self. 

Shane my birthday boy, will be 3 this Sunday on Mothers Day. And oh he is so 3. He loves to help with all our projects, here he is helping us tile the laundry room sink. Pictures of that coming soon. Shane continues to deny his growing up and becoming a big boy. He does not want to use the toilet and reminds me daily that I have two babies, him and Liam. I try to convince him that he is a big boy but to no avail. I am sure we will have him toilet trained by the time Kindergarten starts in 2011. Hopefully. 

Liam loves his play toy, it is like a big mushroom with toys on top and a chair that lets him walk all the way around. He scoots around that thing a lot. 

*A Note on the job application to Colorado. It looks like it won't be happening this time. Aaron and I belive that that Lord still wants us here in Folsom, so we will stay. There are much worse places to be stuck if you ask me. I love our ward and our friends here in Folsom. So perhaps we will keep looking for places to go but ultimately we will go where the Lord wants us. 

And There you go, Pictures of my boys as promised.

Life continues as normal

Things in the Picker house has been pretty normal for the past little while. We are gearing up for a road trip to Arizona in June, so I am sure we will have lots of pictures to post from that trip. Everyone is excited that school will be out soon. I am not sure what we will be doing with the rest of summer vacation after our road trip but I am sure it will involve a lot of water play, and I hope to go camping as a family at least once this summer. And in case you have not heard, Aaron has applied for  a job in Colorado. If we can get that job we think it would be a great move for us. If the Lord is willing then we will be moving before school starts again in August. So keep us in your prayers. The only down side to moving would be leaving Folsom and the wonderful family of friends I have here. Good thing there is the internet and things like blogs and facebook. :o) 

I am making progress in my photography dreams. I am now on Unit #3 in my classes and learning a lot. I love having professional feedback on my photo's I am learning so much.  I have a friend making a website for my business and getting that going. I am loving every minute of it. 

My boys are growing so big. I will try to get photo's up of them this week.
