Unlike Hawaii schools, Washington schools are still on the traditional calendar. This year we're fortunate to be ending school a week earlier than usual. Boy, the last few weeks of school are the hardest. Motivation from students (and teachers alike) are low, temperature is usually warm (in our case, it's rainy and snowing in the mountains!) and we just are all daydreaming about basking in the sun.
As our high school celebrates their graduation tonight, Garrett and I were reminded of all our graduation memories and wanted to congratulate the two graduates we have in our families.
First, congrats to my little sister, Lisa, who received her BS in Apparel Product Design and Marketing from UH Manoa. Big words for a "professional shopper"! She's spending the summer near Jacksonville, FL, where she's interning with the PGA! Baby's timing was slightly off, so we weren't able to travel home for her graduation, but lots of family was still there to support her!
Second, congrats to Garrett's cousin, Courtney Miyamoto, for graduating from Baldwin High School. Court will be headed to UH Manoa in the fall to pursue her career in dentistry!
Finally, an update on our lives. We celebrated Rylee's 5th birthday at a Jumpy Place. Rylee is the daughter of Mark and Ranelle, a transplanted HI couple, who we met through Joy. It's weird how HI people find each other and hit it off immediately!
The big slide at the jumpy place had a bigger drop than you expected!
Rylee's older brother, Matt. 
Rylee's younger brother, Lucas. 
We don't know who had more fun at the bouncy place- the younger kids or the older kids!
