Banquets, graduations, recitals

Recital time! Leah Beth and Caroline are in a yearly dance recital. It is so much fun. A good excuse to wear make-up and get all dressed up. This year Nana, Grandma, Aunt Brandi, Rachel, Ms. Melinda, Rhonda, Faith, Steve and I got to go! Caroline got to be in 1 of the big shows this year. She has long waited and can't wait to be in all three big shows!
Blake had his 8th grade graduation. Wrestling end of the year banquet. Blake landed the most improved trophy. We were so excited for him. He really deserved it. He worked so hard this year and show some major work ethic. Hope that work ethic continues to stay around as he starts to smells the two fumes (perfume and gasoline!)

J and F kept yelling "there's my Caroline! There's my LB! There's my Blake! There's my Andrew!" so when I saw you in a shot I yelled "there's my Gretchen!!"

I really thought Leah Beth looked just like you, Gretchen, too. All your kids are growing up so fast. Isn't the end of the school year so busy?!! And lots of fun, too.
