What a crazy week!

Finals are over. Evelyn is officially a high school grad. Lindsey broke her arm and is getting surgery. Maren is in Washing DC and NYC for this whole next week. We had visitors from both sides of the family staying with us, and we did lots of things. And in the meantime, there were quite a few other things happening in the background just to add to the chaos.

It. Was. Nuts.

So...here are some photos to tell the rest of the story. Enjoy!

Honestly, I had no doubt this would happen... but it was pretty surreal.

Grandma and Grandpa Hazard joined us for the graduation

This is one of my favorite pictures of this group!

We had a mini family reunion in honor of Ev

We hiked...

We climbed...

We celebrated with Gooies...

We enjoyed Arbor Crest...

Thank you to everyone who came! It was a great week.

End of year band trip to Silverwood. Addy and Ev both had a great time.

Maren planned a backpacking trip with her friend Ireland.

Lindsey just got out of surgery. She'll be in a cast for a while, which kind of puts a damper on it being her first day of summer vacation.

Have a good week!

It's currently finals week and the stress is real. School is over next week though, and we'll have lots of family in town for Ev's graduation, and then a busy summer. Rachel and I have spent the last few days planning out our limited weekends over the next few months and I think we'll do some cool things.

As for this week, the biggest event was probably going to see Back to the Future (Broadway tour) as a family and watching both the play and the ASL interpreters. It was a fun show and it was done well. We also went to an awards night for the high-school music program where both Addy and Evelyn got their letters for the year, and the band played a few songs for us. Ev got to do Zoot Suit again, and Addy finally did a saxophone solo (hoping to see a lot more of these next year, but Addy doesn't seem convinced). Over the weekend we got a lot of work done on both our home garden and the landscape project at church that we're doing. Yesterday, Maren and Lindsey both sang in a choir concert, and both of them had solo parts. 

Okay- that was a nice list of things. Here are some actual photos. 

"I was aiming for the box and missed"

This is the kind of thing you get in a house full of immature children. I won't tell you who in our family said this, but I will give you a hint. It wasn't one of our kids...

...and it wasn't Rachel.

Back to the Future, the Musical!

Maren's last choir concert of middle school. She had a solo in "Dreams" by the Cranberries, which has some significance to our family, so it was kind of a neat ending for her time in middle school. She has already auditioned for and gotten into the select choir at the high school next year.

This is Rachel and Marissa doing things with bees. Ok, wow.

Have a good week!
