Last Day of School, Memorial Day and Hess Family Reunion

I guess I better get a post done about the last day of school before we start school again. :) The kids had their last day of school on May 27th.  I love getting out of school before Memorial Day! The kids all had great teachers this year.  It is always sad to be done and moving on to new grades and new teachers in the Fall.  Sadly, I didn't get a picture of Gavin with his teacher.  They sent the kids outside to do yearbook signings and his teacher was gone before school was over. :( I'm still sad about it because I've got pictures of Gavin with every teacher since Kindergarten. 

Anyway, we also had our annual Memorial Day gathering on my mom's side of the family.  It was short and sweet which is about all I could handle with a 6 week old. 


Ashlyn with Miss Hollie. She was the best teacher!


Liam with Senor Clot. Gavin also had Senor Clot in 4th grade but this was his last year teaching at our school.  He is headed back to Spain with his family. :(


Traditional graveside picture! We were fewer in number this year because of relatives being out of town, but still a good sized group!


On June 4th we had a Hess Family Reunion.  It was the first of its kind and was awesome!  We met at Farmington park and had lunch, visited, and heard some family history stories.  It was great to see all those that could make it.  We managed to get a picture of all that were there.  Amazingly, there are many families missing.  The Milton and Fern Hess posterity is a great (large) one!
