Lane's Graduation

It is hard to believe that a year has gone by. Both Lane and I have really enjoyed our new school and can't wait for little brother to join us this next August!!

The graduation was held at a nearby park.

Each child got a personalized towel and a t-shirt at the graduation. Plus, mommy got a wonderful scrapbook of the whole year. So PRICELESS!!

Grass House

Day 9

Crazy how fast and well it grows on the sponges!!

All in a week's time....

The *Dirt Magnets*

Gavin spent the night last night....caught this of the boys in the tub. They are just about too BIG to all fit in there together!! They sure had fun with Daddy in the swimming pool yesterday evening. I didn't get any pictures, maybe I can today.
Our littlest graduate!! Bryce will be in Pre-Kindergarten next year at my school, but the daycare had a small patriotic ceremony on Thursday. What an adorable guy he is?!!! Lookin' so much like his Daddy!;)

Lane's Pre-K graduation will be this next Tuesday.

Anticipating a visit from the TOOTH FAIRY

Lane let daddy help him pull his FIRST tooth. What a fun event...brought back memories for both Jay and I. I think Lane was a little weary of whether it would hurt. He was pleasantly surprised, it didn't.;) He told us he was so happy that it didn't take his voice away...smile.....I believe he was trying to tell us it didn't change the sound of his voice. :) He didn't cry about going to bed tonight knowing the Tooth Fairy only comes when you are sound asleep. Where did my baby go????.... it is hard to believe he is old enough to loose those "pearlies" we not so long ago were so excited to see poke through. :(

Science Project

The boys and I started our grass house this morning. I did this with my 2nd grade class over the past month and it turned out so well!!:) Lane got to see it everyday in my room and even spray it several times for me. He asked to take the sponges home and do one with Bryce at home. I believe I posted this link a month or two ago, but I'll do it again. We will update you each week on our growing grass house. So be sure to check back!

Day 1

Splish...Splash.....

...we are ready to swim. Maybe not quite yet. It will take several hours to fill up and several days to warm up!! This was our project this evening.. a bigger, deeper pool. The boys are becoming such great swimmers and love to dive for diving sticks, perform somersaults(Lane), and swim underwater, we needed something deeper than two feet....... which we have had for the past two years. Both the boys are scheduled for swimming lessons the second week of June at the school pool. One of our first grade teachers teaches swimming lessons there the month of June. If you should stop by or call this summer and we don't answer, this is where you will find us. Plus, I'll have a real tan instead of one from the tanning salon. At least it is alittle more healthy!
