Father's Day 2018

We had a great time celebrating all of the amazing fathers in our family. We are so lucky to have such great people in our lives!

We celebrated Granddaddy with a dinner at Red Robin and then some play time with the boys. Dad was a great father to me as I was growing up and he continues to be an amazing dad and grandfather now. Granddaddy is an amazing grandfather to our boys. He always finds something super fun to do when they are around and he is genuinely happy to have them around. In fact, he always seems disappointed when their time together is over. 


We had a big cook out with all of the Koontz side of the family to celebrate Grandpa. I think everyone had a great time, but the kids really enjoyed playing together. Preston really enjoys playing video games with Grandpa and both boys like it when he takes them to do fun things like walk the pedestrian bridge or go to the Key West Nature Preserve.




On Father's Day, we finally got to celebrate Daddy. We went all out this year! The kids made some awesome cards and they loved wearing their shirts to celebrate their "rad dad." We even surprised him with the special Millennium Falcon that he has been wanting, but would never purchase for himself. He was really excited! We spent most of the day at a swim meet. It was super hot, but we had fun watching the boys swim and dive. We ended the night at Los Aztecas and cuddling on the couch. It was a really great day.

Evan - Soccer and End of Fourth Grade

Evan finished his soccer season with Chancey, which was a really fun experience for him. They had a great season with only one loss, until the tournament. Unfortunately, Chancey lost their game in shoot out, after a tied game. He was a little sad, but the season was great. He learned a lot and made a lot of friends as well. We all had a great time going to his games. They were so much fun to watch!





As the school year was wrapping up, Evan presented his year long service project at Chancey's Got Talent. He helped by raising funds for The Arrow Fund. He was able to raise over $400 before the event, but several people donated more money after seeing his project! He was really excited about that! 


Evan has his last day of school on May 31st. He was actually a bit sad, as he said he was going to miss his friends.  I think he will be perfectly happy, once he starts his summer break and has fun with his friends on the swim team and in the neighborhood. 
 



We are really proud of Evan's hard work in fourth grade. He was in the advanced program and he did really well. He had all As and Bs on his report card all year! He learned a lot and had a lot of fun as well. We are excited to have a fifth grader now!
