Parker's Pre-School Graduation

Thursday was Parker's Pre-School Graduation. He had all sorts of family there to support him. Along with Dustin, Preslie & I , Grandpa& Grandma Castellani came along with Tami, Stan & Tj  and much to Parker's surprise Monica & Monte made it too. They sang a couple of songs, had a slide show then presented his diploma. Parker has made alot of friend and memories over the past two years at Little Lamb. Next year he will be the only one in his class attending Camas so he will have to make all new friends. I can't believe our little man is growing up so fast.

Kindergarten Orientation

Parker had kindergarten orientation on the 16th of May. Hard to believe that he's going to be in elementary school next year, seems like I was just bringing him home from the hospital. We walked across the street to Helen Baller  and were greeted by the principal Mr.Parman and members of the PTA who asked Parker to make a name tag and head to the library where we would meet his future classmates. Once we got in the library he had his picture taken and then was taken by the two kindergarten teachers Mrs. Webb & Mrs. Michener to shadow a kindergartner. The parents stayed in the library where we were given all the information we need to make this experience a good one. After several introductions and other nervous parents asking the same questions I had we got to meet up with our kids and watch them get on the school bus. Parker won't get to ride it since we live across the street so he had a good time. They went around the block where I'm told he shouted to everyone on the bus "That's my house"!!  Later that day he was playing out back and the neighbors grandchild Kailey who is  8 were talking through the fence. She ran inside and got a piece of paper handed it to Parker and said call me sometime. Oh dear I'm not ready for this at all :(

Parker's 1st fishing trip

Last weekend Dustin's friend from work Steve was nice enough to take the boys out on Parker's first fishing trip. Preslie & I dropped them off early in the morning on Sunday out at Lacamas Lake and off they went. Parker got to drive the boat(sort of) and caught 5 fish. Not bad for his first time fishing.

Nana comes to visit

The past couple of weeks my mom has been here spending time with the grand kids. Here are some pictures of her and the kids. For mother's day I wanted pictures of my kids so she took some for me. We love our NANA!

Take your child to work day!

Thursday was take your child to work day, so Parker got to go with Dustin. He woke up early and off they went. Preslie wasn't to happy that "Bubba" got to go and she didn't but she will next year when Parker has to go to school. I think they both had a good time together. Parker's favorite part of working with his dad was their lunch break at McDonald's and the delivery to OHSU. Dustin's was getting off work lol! Thanks Babe for making Parker's day

Fun in the sun with Cousins

A couple of weeks ago my boss gave us his kids play structure since his kids are in middle school they don't use it much anymore. After 12 hours of moving and the help of seven of Dustin's friends it finally got moved to our house and re -assembled. Since last weekend was nice we decided to invite the Vanderhoff's over to play and have a bbq. We only have a couple more weeks together before they move back to Medford again so we are trying to get together as much as our schedules allow it. I can't believe they have been here three years and Mike is all done with school. I'm sad but so happy for their family.
