Henry's 3yr WellCheck

Summer Summer Summer!

Oh my! Summer is in FULL swing! These silly boys have us running in all directions. :) Good thing .... no routine, no alarms, no breakfasts to prepare or lunches to make the night before, no uniforms to be laundered, no set schedules! Yay! Our first couple of weeks have been really BUSY but we're looking forward to this week of low-key summer fun!

Field Day 2016

Bittersweet Field Day 2016 for our little Wildcat! This was Mason's 3rd field day & his last one at the current (old) Westpark! So exciting to be moving to a new school this next year but will definitely miss all of the fun memories. :)

Mason & Trentin

Andrew, Alex, Mason, Trentin

Mrs. Brown's Class Clowns :-)

Ninja Turtles Spring Soccer '16

Another great soccer season complete for Ayden! He dominated. We were moved to a new Ninja Turtles team since our previous team fell apart & the coach retired. :) Ayden didn't mind at all. He fit right in with his new coach & teammates & had a great season. :)

Zoo Pre School 2015-2016

Ayden's Zoo Pre School Class 2015-2016

The director posts photos throughout the year of class activities & events ... I snagged all of these gems with Ayden in them. So happy to get a sneak peek into his class, thank you Ms. Ashlea for all you did to make it another great year for one of our kiddos!

You can definitely tell he had a wonderful experience & made lots of new friends! ;)

Another wonderful year of Zoo Preschool!

Ayden finished up his year of Zoo Preschool today & will definitely miss it. He would always ask when it was going to be his turn to go to zoo school every week we'd take Mason. A couple of years went by & it was finally his turn. He was so happy to go to school at one of his favorite places! I remember walking him to class his first day & being teary-eyed when he took off to his desk & waved bye with a huge smile. He was so excited to join a super fun class that "taught you school & took you into the zoo"! :)) He adored his teacher, Ms. Becky. He enjoyed his teacher aids & really liked all of his volunteen teachers too. Every holiday he wanted to make them feel special by surprising them with a sweet treat. His love for Ms. Becky showed today when giving good-bye hugs. Her last message was that she has grown to love each & every student as her own & for us to please remember they are special & to always take good care of them. Love zoo school & that Mason had a chance to attend, now Ayden had his turn, & hopefully Henry will too next...

Mother's Day 2016

Mother's Day 2016 - I get so excited every year to spend MY day with these 3! This time we spent our day at Six Flags. The boys absolutely love it there & so do I, win win! They made me so many cute pictures & treats in school, brought me a bouquet of beautiful flowers, helped Dad make a delish red velvet cake, & gave me the most PERFECT card! Many days go by that I feel like a SUPER MOM. :) Jason's card is just perfect too he said ... I got a good chuckle. :) Being able to stay home with these guys has been the biggest reward ever. Some days are harder than others. I truly enjoy maintaining the daily chores... house... shopping... cooking... cleaning... working at home... being a good MOM & a good WIFE. I try to keep the balance of home, school & sports for the big boys in check. Sticking to our routine is a must but we do get to let loose & have lots of fun making sweet memories too! Hard to believe we're going to have two little men in full-time school next year. What will this SUPER MOM do with a little free time? ;) I'm so blessed!

Ayden's First Field Trip - Seussical

Jason took off work to take Ayden on his first field trip... Seussical! They both loved it! :)

 

Ayden's PJ Pizza Day

 Preschool fun! PJ & Pizza Day!!

Mason - 2nd Grade

How is this possible he has changed so much?! From the beginning of 2nd grade to the spring semester ... this boy is losing his baby face & gaining an attitude with it!! :)

Easter Blessings '16

Easter 2016

Despite the crazy sports schedule this spring, we enjoyed our long Easter holiday! The boys got to decorate eggs .... painting some & dying some with dye pens instead of dip. It was fun. They enjoyed it! The bunny made a stop & delivered filled baskets of treats for them. We spent the morning with our Adia friends at their church. We ended the day hosting our annual egg hunt party-fun fun! And of course we squeezed in a fun day at six flags. The older they get & the busier our days get, it is harder to make these annual traditions happen but we're so blessed that we do. Happy Easter!! xo
