Happy Birthday Nannie - 6/27

The kids wanted to get Nannie some Koi fish for her birthday (this was an idea they came up with all on their own). So Saturday morning we went to the Pet/Fish store and picked out new fishies for their pond, and then delivered them.
The kids with Grandpa getting ready to release the fish in the pond. (they named the fish Yoda, Princess Leia, Ariel, and Koi Carter).

Ava watching her favorite fish, Ariel. She looked like she was wearing lip stick because she was mostly white with some black spots, and a bright orange dot right on her mouth.
Nannie found a tree frog for Cristian

And then we found one in the pond too
Run away Frog
Grandpa caught it again

Can you spy the fishies??
They have 27 of them now.

Ava dressed up for Nannie's birthday dinner
Anyone recognize this shot?? :-)
We went out to eat at Over the Moon Cafe to celebrate Nanie's bday. It was by far the fanciest place the kids have been (aside from Ava's bday tea). They did really well and raved about the food. Cristian even had to tell the waitress that the food was amazing!
Carter slept through most of the dinner, but when he woke up he was very interested in the light fixtures

Our Family 2
And all of us. Happy Birthday Nannie!

The other present the kids wanted to surprise Nannie with was to spend the night with her! So the older two went home with Nannie after she opened her presents.
I found these cute wooden 4th of July decorative boxes to put her presents in. I'm kind of wanting some for myself now :-)

Jenn's Graduation Day

I was able to go to Jenn's graduation on Sat June 15th! I'm so proud of her accomplishments and think she will make a fabulous Nurse!
Being pinned by her favorite teacher, Sonji. I heard many stories about how great, and a little crazy, this teacher was. Woooosaw :-)

Jenn's Graduation/Going Away Party

Like I said, I am so far behind posting pictures :-) But I wanted to post ALL of my pictures from the graduation/going away party that Kyle and I threw for Jenn and the rest of the McCray Family. Since her camera battery died the day before at her graduation (and the charger was packed away) these will be the only pictures she has... so here you go Jenn, here's all the pics from the party. We miss you all!!
