Final Kangaroos Observation

Ryan only has a few weeks of Kangaroos left, the preschool he goes to at a gymnastics center. I absolutely LOVE the program and the teacher, and Julian will go next year probably. They learn SOO much about body control and awareness, on top of the normal preschool letters, etc...

One thing we have learned in the last few months, is that although Ryan likes to be the center of attention, he doesn't WANT the attention all on him ALONE. He didn't want to stand up to "accept his ribbon," so t his is what we got.

Luckily he will still be here taking gymnastics, so we will get to go and play!

Happy Mother's Day 2015!

Happy Mother's Day to my favorite moms-especially Diane and Dottie. We love you both!

There are so many moms I love so dearly that I could write pages about them. I thank you all for crying with me, laughing with me, listening to me whine, cheering me on, teaching and guiding me. There are many days I am amazed while watching my boys that God trusted ME to mother them. I feel very unworthy and unprepared on a daily basis.

Mother's Day started with lots of homemade cards and coupon books and goodies. Too sweet from ALL my boys. And that dark looking tan is from a bottle...it looks really dark in these photos!

I tried to get a good shot after church, but the big boys already had food on their clothes and changed...the true life of a mom:)

Just as I said on Andrew's birthday post...the boys loves his books! My three monkeys-they definitely keep Chris and I on our toes!

Ryan's Field Trip

I finally got to go with Ryan's class on his field trip to the Baltimore Museum of Art. First up though, his class released their butterflies!

The field trip was a bit of a whirlwind, because they only had about an hour to FLY through the entire museum. It was a bit crazy. We spent a fair amount of time going through the area where the county kids have art displayed. It was super cool.

Ryan said his favorite thing was the "Thinker," which I didn't get a good picture of! I asked Ryan if we could get a picture together and he said, "no thanks." That's my Ryan. Onto to Kindergarten field trips!

Andrew's Birthday Party

Andrew had his first birthday party away from home! He has been loving Redzone-a laser tag gym and asked to invite ten of his friends and do it there this year. As a parent, it was AMAZING! All I did was bring the cake! 

They played three games and were pretty tired by the end. Julian did not like everyone leaving him to go in though.

                                                Ryan and Wyatt cheesing

                                           Even Dottie got in on the action

As you can see here, Ryan doesn't like to carry a gun, he just wants to wear the BRIGHT yellow vest.

Then they played in the laser maze and  all got some tokens to blow and earn wonderful prizes:) I think they all had a fun time, and besides a few tears from Andrew, I think he did too! Happy birthday big guy!
