Adler's Adventures

While Owen was in Texas, Adler had adventures of her own at home with her daddy!

Daddy treated her to playtime at "Old McDonalds"

Micah was concerned about having Miss A to himself for 6 whole days, but I think they got along just fine!

Owen's Adventures in Texas

After Madison's graduation I had to fly to Washington DC for work, so I left Owen in Texas to spend some quality time with his family there.  Check out his fun adventures.....

SNOWCONES with cousin Jordynn!

Owen swam almost every day he was there!

Owen & Uncle Brian

Owen really bonded with his Papa this trip.

Madison's Graduation

My little sister, Madison graduated from high school a few weeks ago, so Owen and I flew to Texas to help her celebrate.  It was a quick trip but so fun to be back home.

The Yawn Clan before graduation



Walking into Reed Arena.....brought back a lot of memories from my own high school and college graduation.

YAY!  She has a diploma.  Now life really begins.

Owen had just graduated himself a few days before this, so he thought it was cool to see Madison's graduation.

Madison and I did a lot of hugging.  :o)

Silly-ness

I'm super proud of Madison and can't wait to see what she decides to do with her life.  The possibilities are endless.  Congrats Madi!

Preschool Graduation

About 3 weeks ago Owen graduated from preschool.  He has attended this school since he was 2 years old, so it was bittersweet to watch him graduate and move on.  His graduation day was also his last day at the school and for the past 2 weeks he has gone to Summer Camp (where the big kids go).  But more on that in a later post.

The Bears Class

The graduation was really cute with a performance by the kids, diplomas, each child announcing what they want to be when the grow up, and a reception.

Owen & Ryder

Owen is registered to start Kindergarten in August at the local public Montessori school.  Although it's hard to believe he's old enough to start school, I'm really excited to watch him school.
