Author's Night

A couple of weeks ago Jack had Author's Night at school. They divided the class in half and the kids got to read their stories that they have been working on to their families.

Jack in the chair listening to the comments and questions about his story.

Jack and his teacher and half of his class.

Jack and Luke. Luke came with me to author's night and it was a good thing because Jack dedicated his book to Luke and then gave it to him at the end of the night (very sweet I know, trust me it doesn't last long!)

Preschool's Year End!

Luke had a few fun events to wrap up this year of preschool. It started out with field day and ended with a year end performance.

Here are both 3 year old classes on field day posing with their beach balls and sunglasses, they were very cute.

Cousin Fun!

A couple of Sundays ago Bryan had to work and Jack and Luke went fishing with Papa so Henry came over to play with Cole. The boys had a lot of fun playing outside, here are some pictures of their fun with the water table.

Helping Amy get the table cleaned out.
Cole showed Henry no mercy when it came to a water fight! Luckily Henry is a good sport and doesn't mind freezing cold water in the face!

Cole had to be told repeatedly that it is not a pool and that you do not get into the table.

Here's a cute shot of Henry in his suit! They had a lot of fun and I'm sure this is the first of many fun days these two will have together.

Jack Turns 7!!

I can't believe I'm so far behind on my blogging, I have a lot of pictures to post and will try and do so over the next few days. Jack turned 7 on the 26th of May, we can't believe how big he has gotten so fast! Here are a few pics from his little party with the family.


The birthday boy awaiting his birthday cupcakes.

It wouldn't be a party without a messy baby in the high chair! Henry gladly filled that position!

Jack did a great job reading all of his cards.

He was very excited about the Lego Star Wars game that he has been wanting for the Wii, I think he has already beat it as well.

Jack had a great day and I know he is very thankful for everyone who shared in his special day!

Memorial Day

Here are some pictures from the Memorial Day Parade that Jack and Wiley marched in with their baseball team.

Here's the whole crew waiting for the parade to begin.

Here comes Jack......

....and Wiley.

This is just to document that Reed was there, he was so good and slept the whole time. (check out the double chin!!)

Jack and Wiley after the parade, Wiley didn't wouldn't give me a shot with those missing teeth!

Cole sat so nicely in the stroller during the ceremony, thanks to a box of Nerds from the parade!

Playing In The Rain

We had some big rain showers on Sunday evening while Amy, Kevin and Henry were over so we decided to let the boys go out and play in the rain. They all had a great time getting wet and muddy.

Wedding Week

Here are some pictures of the boys, in no particular order, from the week of Aaron and Kelly's wedding.

Cole swimming at the hotel. This is the best picture I could get, he wouldn't sit still. This boy is going to have a great summer, he has no fear of the water!
