pool time

We went to the Y pool this evening . It's nice because I can check Blake in the day care and take the boys to the pool. At 5 the heat isn't too bad....the boys had fun.

Kurt

Thank you friends for calling me! Kurt and the others that are currently in Honduras are fine. I spoke with him yesterday and the were stuck in the hotel since the roads were closed and there were military/army on the streets. Today they did get to go out to the village...so that's a good sign, roads are open etc. Hopefully everything there will stay low key and they'll be back home safely on the 4th.

Father's Day

We had a relaxing day...finished up the day by going to Berry Hill. It was nice...

Ring Bearer

Truitt was the ring bearer in my step sister Lisa's wedding over the weekend...man he was cute!

Oh yea, the bride and groom looked pretty good too :)

Almost...

Blake is now pushing upon his hands and knees, I suspect he'll be crawling by 6 months. He's a busy little guy!

Reminder

For those of you who stay home with your kids - do you ever need a reminder as to why you do it? I am having one of those days....and it's only 10am. Sometimes I need validation and I don't always get it. I am with my kids the WHOLE day. As I calm down (at this very moment) and look around I see the many blessings in my life....there's my validation. Whew - I feel a little better now :)

Summer

Summer's here and we started it off at the lake. We all had fun, especially the kids - it was a nice relaxing weekend.

Preschool Graduation

Braden had his last day of preschool on Thursday. Braden has been at this preschool since he was 2, it's hard to believe this will be his last time there. Actually Truitt is now enrolled so he'll visit occasionally. For the last day they had a school program first, he sang a few songs and dressed up with is class, next was the class party and then they had a gradutaion ceremony. Wow! This means kindergarten is next...I'm happy for him but honestly a little sad for myself. I'll do my best to enjoy our summer together :)

Class Program - they're dressed as bakers.

Class Party, we had neat little cakes made...

Family Photo

Braden is the "shooting star" in his class this week, they post a few things about him and ask for a family photo. Hummmm, we attempted one at Easter and I couldn'f find it anywhere on my pc. Below is my pathetic attempt at a "family" photo. I have added "get a GOOD family photo" to my 'to do' list :)

4 months

Blake is 4 months old today...time is passing quickly! As I put away newborn clothes and he gets bigger my heart aches a little but I try to focus on some things I can look forward to as they all get bigger. My heart sometimes says I'd like another baby but my body (and my husband) screams no :) Anyway all that to say we went to the dr this morning, he is 14lbs 5 oz and 25 1/4 inches long - happy and healthy!
