squeezed in too! 
By the time we got back to our tent
it was flooded! After 30 years the 
waterproofing wears out of a tent! :)
It was the first night…everything was
soaked…sleeping bags, pillows,
bags, towels! 🤣 So, we loaded up…
got home late…dried all of our things…
slept in our beds…then went back 
bright and early! 
Fun by the fire
Cole and Noah eating lunch in the eno!

So full of hope and dreams for the future!

That same sweet lady on the inside…
A LOT taller on the outside! 
👩‍🎓 Graduation ceremony 👩‍🎓 
Milla has gotten the “Principal Pal”
Award every single year of elementary school!
So proud of her! 
Milla’s 5th grade class..
*Mrs. Coughlin’s Class*
Due to covid they didn’t have the
whole 5th grade together…they celebrated
each class individually in the lunchroom
with 2 guests per student.  We were so 
glad they got to have a ceremony! 
My favorite 5th grader!
Our grown up baby girl! 
We’ve got sunshine on a 
cloudy day! 
She is joyful.  She is vibrant.
She is Confident. She is smart. 
She is funny. She is adventurous. 
She is engaging. She is fun. 
She is outgoing…and the list 
goes on! She is awesome! 
Graduation day 
Last walk to the bus stop!
They have all been in the same
school—under 1 roof for the last
2 years….(K, 2, &4th)…then (1, 3,&5th)
they won’t all 3 be in 
the same school again! 
They love riding the bus…
We are amazed everyday when they get on 
at 6:38am!!! It takes a few nudges to get them
up and moving in the morning…but, they are
self motivated to hustle and make the bus! 
Last Day of School!
Water balloons and squirt guns…
Soaked headed into Summer! 
Family Graduation cookout for Milla!
Gran Mum was in town!

Celebrating baby GIFFORD #4
When you’re hungry but
your friends ask if you can shoot hoops
We were at the pool watching a 
“Will you be my girlfriend” 
Proposal!
A teenage boy had his friends set up
candles, roses, and chocolates under the 
Pavilion at the pool…
then later the boy and the girl he was
asking pulled up and we got to 
watch the whole thing unfold!
