For Mother's Day Lowell got me these beautiful Lilies! I love flowers!! 
They came a few days before Mother's Day and were delivered as buds. Most of them looked like this by Mother's Day and the rest continued blooming throughout the week!
Joshua uses his newly learned reading abilities to read to Tylee. She loves having her brother read to her and often brings books to him to read.
Tylee turned 11 months old. She wasn't feeling well when we took this picture so she's not real smiley.

Joshua graduated from kindergarten at the end of May. They held a graduation ceremony. Joshua was excited, and a little sad, to be done. Here he is walking down the aisle to be seated on the risers. You can see in the picture to the right, Joshua is seated on the top row, fourth child from the left (I made a little circle around his head). They sang a few silly songs and then handed out the "diplomas".
I was so happy with the teacher Joshua had for his first year of school. She was amazing and worked well with Joshua's personality and knowledge level. She truly made Joshua's first year of school a great experience for both Joshua and Lowell & I.
Here's Joshua with his teacher.
Left: getting his "diploma" and Right: in the classroom right before we left.
We spent the rest of the day doing lots of fun activities. I never thought to take pictures of the rest of the day (even though we had the camera), but we went out to eat to Cici's Pizza for lunch, then played video games, went to the mall and did a "Mall Scavenger Hunt", rented movies... Then, on the way home it started raining so Joshua played in the puddles when we got home and then we watched movies and had popcorn until it was time to go to bed.
I knew we had to get a picture of Tylee "helping" with dishes before she was too big. Every time we open the dishwasher, she runs over and promptly sits down on your foot and helps herself to the silverware. Makes us laugh every time.
