Memorial Weekend and Doctoral Candidate

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! We hope you had a fun time spending time with family and remembering those who have served our country! The little ladies and I had a fun "Girls Weekend" while Daddy was in California defending chapters 1-3 of his dissertation. He PASSED!! Hooray Doctoral Candidate, Jarrett D. Fisher!! We are so proud of you and your hard work! Just a few months more writing and you will be Dr. Fisher!!

Us girls tried to stay busy, and went to a neighborhood parade Saturday morning with some of our sweet neighbors.

Red, White & Blue cuties

 The girls were amazed by this guy on stilts...

 A few more years and they girls can do Girl Scouts... so much fun ;)

 Fire Trucks!

 Madison yelled, "Look Mama, Marshall!!" FYI... Marshall is the name of the dalmatian fireman dog on one of her favorite shows, Paw Patrol.

 I think they enjoyed the candy the most, especially the lolly pops.

 The girls and I visited different parks almost every day J was away. There was one park we hadn't been to in over a year, and when I told Lindsay we were going to "Veterans Park", she said "Yea! I love that dinosaur park." I was puzzled and couldn't remember any dinosaurs. But, my Lulu has a memory that amazes me. You can guess what the first thing was she ran to....yup, rocking dinosaur. LOL.

Maddie wanted to ride the pony, "Giddiup Cowgirl!"

Throwing rocks in the lake. Girls told me, "Let's go fishin' with Papa!!"

A couple weeks back the girls had their end of the year singing at Community Bible Study class. Madison was her usually serious self, and Lindsay said her verses and sang at the top of her lungs, "Jump Jump Jump into the Light."

Madison was so serious, but really excited to be wearing her tutu dress. Thanks Grammie!

Lulu singing her favorite song.

 I can't tell you how much I love Community Bible Study... every year it is fantastic. I have met so many wonderful friends both in CA and in NJ that encourage and inspire me. The girls have made sweet friends while learning about Jesus through the Children's Ministry. This was Lulu's last year in CBS, (she goes to Preschool next year) and I know she will miss it.  She might be a little angry with Maddie and I in the fall when she knows where we are headed without her ;)

Going to church with their stuffed animal friends.

The best thing about Daddy leaving is when he comes home he brings back goodies! Although we picked him up at the airport late, they were so excited to see what treasures Daddy brought back for them. Nonna helped him pick out some cute shirts, sandals and Frozen fork/spoon set. Jarrett had a great time in California seeing best friends, eating at all our favorite LA restaurants and going to a graduation party for his cousins Megan & Cameron. J got to hang out with the family, and the girls were especially jealous of the time spent with Nonna all weekend ;)  

We are so happy Daddy is home, and are SO PROUD of you!! xo
