Everything in between...

Juliet started swim lessons! She is doing so well! She has never shed a tear except the time she had to get out to go to the bathroom. She has already moved up a level, and gladly floats on her back, flips over and swims to the teacher. This kid is growing up faster than I ever knew possible!
Aubrey got student of the month for the month of April. WOO HOO! This is her with the kids from the other four kindergarten classes.
There were 27 kids in her class, so we're pretty proud that she was selected as student of the month for her great citizenship and academics. This shy little lady has come a long way since preschool, and we love seeing her confidence and personality develop more each day. We love her school!

We got new floors!! It's amazing what a difference new floors make. Our 8 year old carpet had seen better days, and we are so happy with our new laminate flooring! (This has been on my wishlist for YEARS!) 

 Aubrey finished Kindergarten! This deserves a separate post featuring some of her adorable projects and writing, but in case I don't get to that, I want to document it here. Here is her first and last day, side by side.
And the milestones keep coming...
She also lost her first tooth (actually, two teeth now). Oh this girl was GIDDY! The tooth fairy brought her $4 and left fairy dust on her pillow. Hope she can keep up with the standard she set for herself. ;)

 We celebrated all of the summer birthdays on Justin's side at the Crystal Palace for brunch. These girls loved dancing together. :)
 Brad, Kim, and all their grandchildren.
 The whole crew! So rare to get a picture like this. I'm glad that Alisha and I were able to force everyone to cooperate. :)
 We put a swing in our tree! I've dreamed about a tree swing since we bought this house, and I'm excited that it is finally a reality. It's only big enough for the girls this year, but that tree grows so fast!!

 The potty training process is complete! This kid amazes me! She started in the spring, but my dad had a heart attach at the beginning of spring break, so I wasn't able to work on the process with her. As soon as we got back from our camping trip, we went to all panties (except at night). We had a few accidents here and there, but we are now pretty much accident free. SOOO different from my other potty training nightmare.
 She's pretty proud of herself, too!
