Sam’s assessment

Sam had his Kindergarten assessment at Hammond today and loved it!  It worked out that he finished when it was time for Jack’s lunch, so we stayed and Sam had his first lunch in the Kiva!  In the end, neither brother wanted Sam to leave!  We love Hammond and are looking forward to Sam being a Skyhawk!

The little two

I just LOVE when they wake from nap!

Her first knock knock joke!  I love it!!!

And we just play!  I mean look at this face!  I just want to eat him up!

And what about this dream come true (for mommy!) moment!  I can’t wait for her to be a little ballerina!  But for now, we just try on our big cousin’s old shoes!

This sweet girl

I just don’t want to forget a thing about her!!

Big boy!

On the way back from his first SOLO bike ride to the cul-de-sac!  He was so excited, and I was anxiously awaiting his return!  So proud of how responsible he is!  Way to go, Jack!

Simon Says

Even Margaret was getting into it!

Our little naturalist

Jack is LOVING all his time with Mr. Mancke-every other Thursday.  He came home today wanting to search the sky for birds and make something using Early Technology.  So he got his binoculars and pocket knife and headed out!  Loving this little naturalist!

These boys are growing up!

Arden at Little Lambs wanted to give us a bow tie in exchange for some pictures of Jack modeling it.  What?!  My t-tiny in a bow tie?!  ‘Tis true, and he was eating it up!  Sam was having the best time, too!  Checking out his big brother,asking him to dance, and breaking it down!  The world is their stage and I’m so thankful to be in the audience!  I love them so!Oooooh, he’s so handsome!And look at that Sammers!  Handsome boy!Annnnndddd how I know we’re done!  Wrestle time!!

We outgrew the red Keds!

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!  Sad, sad day!  But so thankful for healthy, growing babies!

Big boy!

Jack’s first Sunday wearing a button-up, collared shirt to church!  Oh, goodness.  I need the Peter Pan collared shirts still!And our sweet three!!

His shoes

Wow.  Just wow.  How is my t-tiny old enough to be doing this?  Tomorrow he’ll be driving!  I mean, really!!

Crazy Eights

I couldn’t remember how to play, so Jack and I watched a You Tube video for lessons.  Once he got the hang of it, he wanted to make a video of his own!  So of course I said yes!  It was amazing!  He even ended it by saying, “And that was Crazy Eights!” then gave his name and phone number in case people had questions.  He’s SO MUCH FUN!

Last day of school

Time for summer!  Yaaayyyyy!  So happy for a mostly schedule free summer ahead to play and enjoy these boys.  They both had great years at Eastminster.  Jack finished the fours with Mrs. Regina and Mrs. Jeanne, and Sam finished the twos with Mrs. Emily and Ms. Theresa.  Loved them all and am so thankful for how they helped our boys learn and grow!  And now, SUMMER!!!

Before school-And on the way out!!  Look at that big-boy smile!Here’s the first day and the last!  Our babies!We went out for frozen yogurt after school to celebrate.Oh, and Jack asked for breakfast in bed for his very last day of pre-school.  Ok buddy! :)Looking forward to lots of fun this summer!

Already?

We had Kindergarten Open House tonight.  Huh?!?!  Already?  I am not ready to have a Kindergartener!  Where did my baby go?!He did a great job walking around and seeing the campus, and his favorite part was playing soccer on the playground!  Take your sweet time getting here, August!!

Jack’s (second) football party!

We had a football party for Jack last year, but every time I asked him what kind of party he wanted for his fifth birthday, he would ask for a football party again.  Football party it is!  This time, at the park!Oh, and the jersey’s-he’s been in to High School Musical lately, and they’re the Wildcats, so he wanted Wildcat Football jerseys!  Love that boy!Thanks, Grandpa, for letting Margaret in on the action!Happy, happy birthday to you, sweet boy!  And I will ALWAYS kiss you-even in front of your buddies!  That’s a privilege I have as your mamma! :)Jack’s piece!Sweet Callie-girl!Robbie Rabbit was with us for the weekend, so he came to the party, too!We had such a fun time celebrating this boy with friends!  Thankful for each one who came to help him feel so loved!
