Annnddd DONE!




Ellie auditioned to be in an ensemble for her 6th grade Spring concert!

Can you spot our brilliant choir gal? Front row, I think 5 over from the left.
Ayrton invited Luke and Brady to Little Cesar's Arena for the NF concert in a suite!
Luke's 8th grade class did the coolest field trip to celebrate the end of their time at Hart Middle. They spent a day together in the D!!
They went to a Tigers game!
Took a boat tour on the Detroit river!

And toured Little Cesar's Arena (he was there late the night before for the concert!).



Drew spending the day with the Gibsons!
And they took him and Syl to Wyatt's birthday party for bowling!
We always LOVE when our cousins come and stay the night with us!! Wahoo!
Crumbl cookie is a new family favorite (and craving!).

Drew gets a homerun! (Papa and Gma were they to see it!)
Ellie has the sweetest small group at church! These girls sure love each other. I LLLOVE my girls so it always makes my heart swell so big that Elle loves her friends so big and they love her too. Spending an afternoon at the coffeeshop downtown.
Starting with Ellie, Estelle, Edith, Kayla, and Evie! 

Luke's 4th Spring tournament in Clio (Or what Luke has renamed to as Cleo).

Papa and Gma came in for the weekend and I'll tell ya...They were here for it!! I gave them the schedule of the weekend the week before to make sure they were up for it and they sure were! Between cousins sleepover, Drew's games, Ellie's soccer game, Luke's tournament up in Clio, Ellie's girl day, Cosbeys hanging at their hotel to swim, late night dinner at Ram's Horn, Drew and Ellie staying the night there with them, church on Sunday am, and finishing the weekend with a trip up to Clio to cheer on Luke...Papa and Gma are the best!! We are so, SO grateful for them. 
Late night Ram's Horn dinner and shakes!
I love these pics. 💓Papa and Gma watching Luke up to bat!
Annnddd it's a double!

Back at home, Ben and Drew were cheering on Ellie's basketball team! They won their end of season tournament!!

Way to go, Ellie!!!
Grocery shopping with Dad...


Back in Clio, Luke hits another double and...

Papa and Gma left to head back but they hid scratch off tickets around our house for the kids to find! How fun is that?!
Amanda found this old note in Sylvan's stuff that Drew had written him. So sweet!!
Ellie qualified for the District meet!!




You're so awesome, Elle!!!

Watching these two, Luke and Elle, knowing that their days at Hart together are coming to a close. 
Field Day!!

The last of the last with Magic soccer. We started with Luke and ended with Elle. It's been fun! 

I had my banchies girls weekend in GR to see Timmy! I LOVE my girls. 


Drew was picked by his Little League teammaties to be the rep for the All Stars game!
Congrats, Drew!! We are so proud of you!
My mentor, coworker and friend retired this year. We have worked together as 3rd grade teachers and coaching together for 15 years. Moe, I love you and will always hold you and your family close.
I threw a retirement party for Maureen. Jacquie (who was our nanny for Luke and Elle for 2 years!) and Ethan and their kiddos came too!
Luke is done with middle school. Just like that!! Middle school goes by in the blink of an eye.
We are so proud of you, Luke! Stoney Creek HS here he comes!
