Springtime Shenanigans with the Knights: Part deux

And the Spring Saga continues. My in-laws purchased some land, and on that land is a vacant barn. Now inside that vacant barn are some cute little pigs some neighbor girls are raising for 4-H. One day all the cousins got to go and take a look and had a BLAST! (oh and Evelyne has her first loose tooth)
 Gilbert, Grayson, Henry and Evelyne (the girl with the loose tooth).

 Spencer and the pigs.
 Grandpa Bruce got in with all the kids to watch the pigs outside (have I mentioned evelyne has a loose tooth?)
Aren't they cute? They look very much like country boys in this pic.
 Nathan and Gilbert enjoyed some time together at his preschool on Dad's night (making gifts for mother's day of course)
 Cinco de Mayo...the Knights went wild; Gilbert dressed for the occasion with a snake belt, no shirt, and a sombrero.
In case you were wondering...Evelyne has a loose tooth, it is on the bottom...seeeeeee?!

Playing catch-up in June

 Since I'm incredibly behind in the blog for my family world; I'll try to play catch up. Starting in June with Evelyne's Birthday. We had two parties; one with family and one with friends...the theme was "SUMMER!" After a very long and wet spring, we were all itching for some weather improvement and some Vitamin D.
 Here are a few partygoers; Stephanie, Jason, Bruce, Nathan and Lindsey
 Cousin Emery
 Evelyne and Cousin Hunter
 Her last (full day) of school was celebrated with a pizza party! The kids had a lot of fun eating yummy pizza in their classroom
 Evelyne was selected with her two friends to participate in the all school talent show which was no small feat! Out of 830 kids, only a handful of groups were selected. Evelyne and her friend Priyanka played a piano duet to "somewhere over the rainbow" and their friend Annika did a dance to it.
 Here are the 3 lovelies; Evelyne, Priyanka, Annika. Priyanka gave Evelyne one of her dresses to wear and she LOVES it! You'll see, she wore it to about every special occasion all month long!
 Evelyne's last day of school; here they are (two classes combined) to do the sing-along they'd done all year on Fridays....this was one last hurrah.
 Evelyne with her teacher, Mr. Zack.
 One of her favorite kids in the class was Reece, a sweet boy who was always very kind to her.
 The friend party was all about summer, too! I made some cute cupcakes and we did face painting and decorated flip-flops to take home!
 Flip flop craftiness!
 Fun friends, Ainsley, Lauren, Rosie, Bailey, Aubrey, Carla, Evelyne, Priyanka, and Annika!
 We also had the opportunity to attend Nathan's cousin's wedding in Albany so these photos are from that lovely event.


 Gilbert loves to dance, by the way, and was crazy break-dancing all day long!
The two kids dancing as a pair; so sweet!

More soon; hope you enjoy these pics...wish time wasn't zooming by so quickly!
