He's a Doctor!!!

Medical Graduates Reception

We were blessed enough to live in student housing with these great friends in Jared's class. I'm so grateful for these friendships and good times!

Dinner with Grandma Jenny

Jared's Grandma Jenny (and Jared also has a sister named, "Jenny"! And his other sister married a "Jared", just to keep us confused - wait, no, I think she liked him, too) invited us over for a delicious meal of coconut shrimp and other yummy goodies. She has always been a talented cook. Hopefully I can cook this recipe like she told me it's done.

Lance's Graduation from Preschool

Lance made great friends in preschool this year. This is his friend, Jonah. On the first day of preschool, Lance noticed that they both wore the same shoes (crocs). This friendship was meant to be. Their dads both happen to be in medical school. While having a playdate one day, they had a hiliarious conversation about their dad's careers here.

Raise your hand if you're 3 years old! There were two 3 year olds in the bunch that got a turn to run under the parachute while it was up in the air.Cami found her spot in someone else's stroller.This little girl is amazing and inspiring. She has a disability where she cannot use her hands, but she doesn't let that stop her. She writes, eats, and does most things with her feet. The entire preschool class absolutely loves this sweet, beautiful girl.Lance is congratulated and given a certificate by one of his teachers. Wanna see?

Twinners! His other preschool teacher called him "G.I. Joe" because he wore camoflauge every chance he got.

What a great year this has been! Lance has had so much fun this year with his friends in preschool. I can't believe he's going to Kindergartin!

Jace Can Hunt Now

Jace passed his hunter safety course with flying colors today. He'd been studying the Hunter Proclamation all week, but was nervous because he didn't get to finish reading it. His dad gave him a crash course before the test.
Jared said that he peeked in at Jace while he was taking the test at one point and Jace was gazing around doing nothing when he caught his dad's eye and he excitedly clapped his hands (quietly) and had this big grin on his face. Jared heard the instructor asking question #34 out of 50, and Jared was like, "What are you doing, Jace?" He gave a hand signal as if he was writing like, "Get it done! Finish the test!" And Jace mouthed back, "I'm done!"
Soon after, he got back his score and he got a 100%!!
He also scored well on the shooting test ( they count how many you have within range of the bullseye).
Now he can hunt small game with his dad. Way to go, Jace!!
