Preschool Graduate

Well, technically he still has one more year of preschool but Carver did graduate from 3 year old preschool today. I can't believe how fast this year went by. Carver was a little sad today that it was his last day with his teacher Mrs. Roman and assistant Mrs. Nonnenmann. He has had such a great year and has learned so much. We are so proud of him. Here are a few pictures from the day.....








His teachers made sure to say that Carver was the loudest singer in the group, as many of you have seen in the videos from programs throughout the year, and that he always knew all of the words to all of the songs. :)

Busy couple of weeks

Wow, it seems like we've been looking forward to summer weather for so long and now that it's here we are taking full advantage! We've been busy, busy, busy!

Daddy and Carver hit another Cubs game last week....


Carver finished his soccer season......


We made a trip to Uncle Josh's farm......


rode in the tractor.....


helped plant the fields......

had some fun on the four wheeler......

and loved seeing Uncle Josh.....

After a very fun and full week, K-Man spent some time relaxing under the swing set with Capper in the backyard.


The boys are keeping us busy and are as active as ever. I swear they don't stop moving from the moment they wake up in the morning.

Kayden is talking so much, putting 4 or 5 words together, it is so cute to hear him speaking in sentences. He is busy chasing after his big brother and trying to keep up. He loves it when I volunteer at Carver's preschool because he gets to play with the kids there and feels like one of the big kids. He's stubborn as ever which makes me crazy sometimes but when that kid knows what he wants he does not take no for an answer! He has been going strong using the potty for about a month now and he's doing great, he has an accident every so often out of the blue but for the most part he is not only using the potty but will just run in and go by himself. :)

Carver is finishing up his first year of preschool next week, and he has done so well! When I picked him up on Thursday his teacher was so excited to tell me what a great wolf he played while they were acting out the 3 Little Pigs. He did so well, they had him do it twice! She said if they were giving out a best actor award he would be the winner...not surprised here he has always been so animated and had such a way of making everyone laugh. He still knows how to charm the pants off of his teachers, other moms, or anyone else that he comes across...while still knowing which buttons to push to drive his mommy crazy at home. I had a pretty good laugh about that one with some relatives this week who were not at all surprised by that, having seen me do the same things growing up. Carver also finished up his first soccer season last week. He had such a great time and learned so much, he is already asking when he can play again. He will start T-Ball in a couple of weeks so he's pretty excited about that as well.

All in all, we're doing great....pool opens this weekend which we're all looking forward to and we've got lots of fun stuff planned for the summer. :) We'll keep you in the loop, til then enjoy the summer and have a great Memorial Day weekend! :)

I LOVE being a Mommy!

Being a mommy is the greatest thing I've ever done. I love my boys and I LOVE being a mommy! I had a great Mother's Day today thanks to my wonderful husband and my 2 totally terrific boys. I started the day off running a half marathon this morning and I was so happy to have all of my boys there to cheer me on. Then we had a cookout and ended the day with an ice cream outing. Couldn't have been more perfect....I got to spend the whole day with my 3 favorite boys. :)

Happy Mother's Day to all of the other great moms out there! :)

Pictures!

We had some professional pictures of the boys taken today for 2 year pictures of Kayden and we were just hoping to get a few of both of the boys, and they turned out great!! Here's some of what we got......

I still owe you all a full update, it's coming soon! Until then, enjoy the pictures!
