FROGS AT SCHOOL???

The day Miranda hoped would never come finally came.  Time to dissect a frog.  My camera battery died so I only got a few shots before they started.  It was so funny to watch them.

5TH GRADE SCHOOL PLAY

American Music Through Time

I can’t believe this was Miranda’s last school play at Garin.  She is off to middle school next year where I am sure she will participate in many school plays.

I hate to say it but she was not excited about her part in this play  or the costume she had to wear.  I think it shows in this photo.

…But at least she got to sit next to Sophia, who is one of her best friends.

Our friend Bryan Boettcher.  Grace just loves him and declared during his performance on stage “that is my boyfriend!” loud enough so everyone sitting around us could hear. =)

How many Truhes does it take to pick a cherry?

Twelve! 

This was our second annual cherry picking outing with Dave's folks. This time Dave's sister Debbie and her family joined us.  We had so much fun picking cherries then headed to Orword Resort for a late breakfast.  We always have so much fun hanging out with family.  I hope Mark, Corrine & Rylan can join us next year.

MOTHERS DAY 2010

Miranda had a game the morning of Mothers day so we were off to Walnut Creek.  Her team won the game so everyone was in a good P5090083mood for lunch.  Grandma and Grandpa Truhe came for the Game and lunch so that was an extra bonus.  After the game we all went to lunch at the San Francisco Creamery.  None of us had been there before so we thought it would be fun to try it out.  The food was just so so but the ice cream was very yummy!  Miranda wants to go back with some friends for her birthday and order “the kitchen sink” which is a ice cream monstrosity!  I thing it has something like 8 giant scoops of ice cream and another 8 toppings plus a bunch of extra stuff and it is served on a kitchen sink! 
After lunch we headed over to a local park to play off all of the ice cream :)  The kids had fun playing on the play structures and the adults had a nice time catching up.
