Quiet House

First off I will apologize for everyones sore necks after reading this. My pictures have suddenly turned into read only! :( Today was Camlyn's first day of Preschool. It was awful quiet around here!



Couldn't resist this picture of them all marching off to school, little stairsteps.

Check out this guy at his locker. "This is old hat mom!" I have been there done that for two years with Caeden!" This mommy did not cry when her baby went to school. Is something wrong with me? Although I did almost cry when I picked him up and got big hugs after school. "Are you my friend?"

Fun on the Not Quite So Farm :)

With all the running and playing that the boys, and dogs do when they go to Grandpa and Grandma G's, you would think that they lived on a big farm. This time it involved a little fishing off the deck and a little of the real thing.

Xou Xo go in some quality time with his cousins as well. Meet Bo, and Hogan.

So what does all this fresh air and exercise equal on the car ride home? Tired boys...

And yes, Caeden was sleeping under the towel.

Kindergarten!!

Hard to believe our little man is starting kindergarten this year. We really are in a new chapter of our lives. This was the day of our orientation. He was so excited to go, and as you can tell little Camlyn was as well.

The orientation was nice, we got to find his locker and classroom, meet his teacher, and put all his new supplies away. Just how nice this was we didn't know until today....

He is a big boy now and knows all about this school stuff right. At breakfast he informed me that I could walk him to school but I was to leave him in the playground. I was not to walk him to his class. "The teacher will tell you no, no. You already went to school."
And when we got there? It was a little like Where's Waldo. Can you find him?
Not quite so sure now. As for all my bravado about going through this before and I am not going to cry this time. Well, what do you think happened when I saw that little head bobbing along in the mass of children?

Happy 4th of July!

Sorry for the Ron Paul advertisement at the end, I really just wanted the audio.

Parade in the Rain

Even more fun when you have the right gear!

Camlyn heard the sirens before we got there and decided he was done!

Bugs, Bugs

Caeden is at that buggy age. Last night we came home with two earthworms and some dirt in a box and a firefly, the first one of the season, in a plastic baggy. Firefly went to bed with him and has been drug all over the house. He tried to hitch a ride to meeting this afternoon too. My job is now to do some researching on fireflies. Maybe we won't be telling Caeden that some fireflies eat each other....

Couple of Cheese Balls

No, this post is not just a shameless plug to show how adorable my little ones are. (Though they are quite handsome.) I was flipping through the pictures on the camera, and couldn't help but notice the big cheesy grins in these. Must have finally got past the whole camera shy thing!
