June 2025

Goodbye school, and hello Summer! Lily finished 7th (weird knowing she's done at Northwest until high school). And Charley graduated 5th! While I don't feel ready for her to be in middle school, I am excited to see her next chapter. Briggs had an amazing year in first grade with Mrs. Person -- so thankful! and I am so excited the boys will be together next year. But for now... Happy Summer!

Lily had a wonderful dance recital. I'm so proud of her for pushing through a demanding year in dance and getting to enjoy the payoff of performing at the end.

We celebrated Grandma's birthday, enjoyed the beach for a few days with Grandma and Grandpa (first beach trip for Tanner!), and then we had a great trip to Atlantis at the end of the month -- a trip that has been on Hogan's bucket list for quite some time and we all loved. 

One more week of school!



Summer fun with Addie.

Special nails before the Bahamas.

Briggs' inventions from Camp Invention! B missed the last day because of our trip and he liked camp so much he said he would have rather finished camp and missed the trip. ;)

And we're off!








The resort blew us away. So many things to see... animals, pools, and beautiful beaches.



Loved looking at the turtles.











Magic show!


B got called onstage and came home with a magic coloring book. :)



Feeding the pigs.



And holding the babies.



Can't believe the boys were into this!

So this day was really cool. We took a boat around (saw the pigs), stopped at some snorkeling spots, snorkeled with fish and SEA TURTLES, and hung out at a very quiet beach. 

Sea turtle!

Mini golf was SO fun.
