Summer Vacation Part I

Fun with GG and Grampa - The boys and I went out early to spend some time with GG and Grampa.  The fun started with graduation for my cousin John followed by time at the 'Christmas House' in Ohio.  We went non-stop and one day Braden asked to just stay home and relax.  I couldn't believe my ears.  Sluggers and Putters, Baseball Game, Park, Picnic, Zoo, Kick-Ball, Fish Fry....it was all FUN!

Preschool Graduation

Kindergarten is next - Braden graduated from Preschool.  He's so excited to now be ready for Kindergarten.  I hope that this excitement for school continues!!!  We have been blessed to have such wonderful teachers...Mrs Fowler and Mrs Robinson.

 

T-Ball

Baseball Boy - Braden started T-Ball this year and Aaron is coaching.  He's so excited and loving it.  I think Aaron is just as excited.  He stocked up on all the gear and we are set!  This was at his first practice.  Such a cutie!

Swimming Lessons

Little Fish - The boys took some basic swimming lessons.  They loved it and the instructor said they were both just like little fish.  No fear here which is why we did them.  They learned a few strokes but most importantly how to float.  It was a fun time!

Happy Mother's Day

Wonderful Day - The boys and Aaron treated me to a special Mother's Day.  I have a wonderful family and am so thankful for them!

School Picnic

Schools almost out - The boys had a wonderful time at the School Picnic.  They jumped with their friends in jumpy houses and had lots of fun.  It was a nice evening with some of their school friends.

 

Our First Garden

Gardening Success - The boys and I planted a garden this year in the back yard.  It has been a lot of fun preparing the garden, keeping it watered and they harvesting our crops. 

With our first pick of Zucchini, Aaron grilled some for dinner.  When I asked Braden if he was going to eat it, he said "NO".  I said that he needed to eat the vegetables that we were growing and he replied "....next year I'm going to make a fruit garden!"  That is one smart little boy. 

Needless to say, he ate the zucchini and yellow squash and really enjoyed it.  So did Reece and Zachary.  We'll definitely be doing this again next year!
