Where did this past year go?

Somebody is moving to 1st grade next year!

Barnyard Days

Eli enjoyed his end of the year field trip to Barnyard Days put on by a local high school. Both Brian and I went and we all had a great time. There were many animals to look at and learn about. There were also baby chicks and ducklings that the kids could touch as well as newly laid turkey and chicken eggs. Eli enjoyed the tractors and the large rabbit that would play fetch. After enjoying a snack of ice cream we went out to lunch with several of Eli's friends and their parents. It was a perfect day.

Happy Happy Birthday!!

**there are no pictures to attach since that portion of the day was a disaster. even without pictures we still enjoyed some delicious cake!**

Easter 2011

Easter has come and gone and we had an interesting holiday. I am not sure if it is Carter being a part of the public school system for the first time or if we just have low immune systems this year but Carter and I both came down with the flu over the holiday. (The stomach bug for Christmas and the flu for Easter...YUK!) I suppose that a bright note is both sicknesses occurred over a holiday and school was not in session and Carter didn't miss as many days as he would have....no matter we still made the best of our holiday.

Mimi and Poppy got the boys Easter ducklings and the boys enjoyed watching them grow. And grow they did! Our three weeks with them passed very quickly and they now reside at a local farm where they can enjoy all the comforts of being a duck!

We also enjoyed the other traditions of Easter....egg painting, an Easter egg hunt and some limited visiting of family. (didn't want to spread the germs)

The boys, as always, are so very lucky and received lots of baskets from the Easter bunny.

Even with the nasty flu we managed to have a very blessed Easter!

Happy Birthday Elijah!

Today our Elijah turned 4! Time it seems is flying by and I can't believe my baby is already 4 with an ever growing personality and attitude!!

The day was filled with family, friends, cake, legos, soccer balls and a bounce house of your very own. We hope that all your wishes came true sweet Eli because all of our wishes came true when you arrived and completed our family!! Love you xo

April Showers Bring May Flowers

Carter's Spring flower that is decorating the hallway outside of his classroom. Carter loved this project, especially since I introduced him to puffy paint for this beautiful flower.
