Track and Field Day

Brody had his first track and field day at school yesterday! He ran the "50" (the 50 yard dash), the "20 hundred" (the 200 yard dash) and did the long jump. My speedy little boy (obviously he doesn't take after his father OR his mother) got 1st in the 50 yard dash and 2nd in the 200 yard dash... So proud of him! He was pretty excited when he got home to tell me about it. So glad Cindy was able to be there and take some pictures for me!

Field Trip!

I was lucky enough to get to go with Brody this year on his field trip to the Rocking K Ranch. The kindergarteners learned about the machines that make a cattle ranch run, saw the cows and their calves, hung out with some bulls, learned about horses and ate a "ranch hand" lunch! The trip got cut short with the rain but the kids had a fabulous time while they were there!

He's doing it!!

Today was a big day at our house!! Beau learned to ride his bike with no training wheels... Similar to Brody, who one day just hopped on his cousins bike and took off, Beau decided that he was going to try riding a bike with no training wheels. He came into the house with a skinned up knee and when I asked him what happened he told me that he tried to ride Brody's bike and felled down. I told him that I would come out and help him after naps. So, when he got up, we headed outside and sure enough... I followed him for only 2 times and off he went on his own!! None of this chasing kids down for days on end - my boys take off right away!! I don't know who had a bigger grin on their face, me or Beau! What a day for him...

GOALLLLLL!

I love that babies can sleep with such abandon!!! This is Braxton's favorite pose when he is sleeping...

Visiting Great Grandpa...

We headed over to see my Grandpa yesterday... He fell and broke his hip right before Easter and he is at the nursing home working on his therapy. We are hopeful that he will be home soon, but until then I try to get over there as much as possible! He was in great spirits on Sunday and telling the staff that Braxton takes after him in his cuteness! Don't you agree?? :)

Preschool Program

Beau had his end of the year preschool program last night! They thrilled us with songs, showed us a photo slideshow and handed out certificates. He had kind of a wild ride this year with his behavior and we will definitely be working on that for next year when he gets to go to school 4 days a week! A few of the teachers at Sebeka were amazed when they found out that his own mother suspended him from school for being naughty... They don't know how serious I am about my kids not being "that kid" in their classroom! :)

I can't believe how big my baby is getting already! He has gained over 2 pounds already and is really filling out, I mean check out the chub-cheeks! He has the most beautiful blue eyes... I keep waiting for them to change, but they are REALLY blue, so we'll see what happens there! :)
