It's always fun to hang with cousins at the zoo!

We love them all!  What a fun day!

On the wheelchair front, everything has been ordered, we have also put in a request to have help paying for one part and are so grateful for organizations that are willing to help with things like this.   So waiting on a few more things.  Oh waiting is hard sometimes, but we will keep waiting, as that is our only option.  We will keep pushing through and working on other things and enjoying the summer and each other as well.

 We started summer off with a play, Matilda.  So fun!

Denali and Quinn said go see it.  Isaiah said it was good but Lion King was better.

Dance Recital weekend is over!

We loved it.

We were taking in recital numbers for over 10 hours!

We had fun taking pictures before the shows.  I am blessed to have such beautiful kids!

Then the show happened.

We are thankful for our cheering section!

 We love our teachers!

 Oh, I love this picture of Denali and her partner!  This is what DBL is all about!

Phew, we were thankful to have Monday to sleep in!

Final Dance practices and pictures.

This weekend is the dance recital.

 Denali's theater class is doing Matilda, and we are going to see it this week, so that will be fun!

 Isaiah had his final practice too.  It is so fun to see him so happy with his dance friends.

 Some of Isaiah's dance outfits.

Pictures from the 2nd of 4 dance recitals.

 We are thankful for these people who we love so much, who helped or came and watched the performance.

 It was great!

These girls are so good for each other.

(I will say they did just have their first fight and both of them were bawling 10 minutes later and could not stop hugging on each other)

 The girls.

 The rainbow on the way home, and Denali pointing it out over our house.

Lots more dance picts to come.  

5th grade graduation happened yesterday.  

Isaiah is now a middle school student.

Oh boy!!!!

 and the last day of school

 It has been a hard year with lots of  learning opportunities, and we are all stronger because of it.

 Denali will be going into 5th grade.

 Isaiah will be going into 6th grade.

Quinn will be going into 5th grade.

 We have learned that change is hard, but sometimes change is ok, and it's taken a long time to see that.  We are hoping that one change will not be Quinn's nurses.  We love both of them!

 So happy summer everyone!  We need a few days to decompress and chill out, then we will start on lots of summer fun!
