Lions Park

Emery really enjoying the weather for the last day of preschool!

Sam, Aiden, Elliot, and Parker.

Spinning around and around is FUN.  I love getting dizzy

 

The boys club!  This was the scene many days after preschool.  Sometimes Venya, Elliot, and Oliva would join us and play super heroes!  Hopefully, we can play more this summer!

Last Day of Preschool

Today is Aiden's last day of preschool.  Here we are with Ms. Ronda, and Ms. Diane.  We are sure going to miss them!

3 year stats

I had my 3 year physical this morning.  I'm growing like a weed!  I weighed in at 36.4 (88 percentile) and am 38.75 inchs tall (78 percentile).  Clifford came with me this morning to make sure I didn't have to get any shots!

Angry Birds

We look so calm after making our Angry Birds stack.

However, this is how we play Angry Birds!

Birthday Celebration #2

Allison felt a little guilty that she couldn't make it to my Spiderman birthday party, so she brought me the AWESOME "dirt" cupcake with a worm on top to celebrate with me tonight.

What's a birthday without a present?  Thanks so much for the Clifford stuffed animal and Clifford books.  I love them!

Standing

I like to stand whenever I find something that is just the right height!  The only problem is that I'll stand there happy as can be for awhile, not moving, but the second I want to sit, I cry.  I haven't quite figured out how to get back down from here.  I'm sure I'll learn soon!

Start of Summer

 

 
Today is Parker's last day of preschool, so we thought we should take a quick picture with the Lion at the park.  Although we are sad that preschool is over, we are excited that we will get to see our teachers this summer with some awesome fun classes!

Happy Birthday, Parker

Thanks for the AWESOME movie Aunt Mindy and Uncle Neil.  I've started watching it already!


I really wanted to eat my birthday cupcake with the candles still in it.  It's too bad that only 2 candles fit in my cupcake once I had taken a bit out of it!

Mommy's Little Helper

Can I help make cookies too, please?

Happy Mother's Day

My preschool teachers helped me make breakfast in bed for my mom today on this very special day.  We made muffins in class and added a bottle of orange juice and a napkin.  I decorated the bag to make it look like my mommy in bed.  The poem says,
Breakfast in Bed
Since it is your day,
I have something to say
Don't lift your head.
Have breakfast in bed!
Just take a look....
you don't have to cook!
I don't like to brag
But it's breakfast in a bag!
I love you
Aiden

Baby Wearing

This proud Daddy is really into baby wearing!

National Garden Day

Since it is National Garden Day, the Botanical Garden has free admission.  Debbi and Iola invited us to tag along with them to check out the gardens.

We did a whole lot of running and a whole lot of standing in this spot.  Can you guess what had us SO excited?

TURTLES!  They were swimming in the water and laying on the rocks.  They were ALL over the place!

Emery didn't seem to be that excited by the turtles, maybe next year!

We did take a little bit of time to stop running to smell the flowers.

Emery did seem to enjoy the gardens outside and spending some time in the shady gazebos!

So Tired!

That food was so yummy, that I fell asleep eating!

Evening Siesta

I like to take a little siesta while mommy is out exercising every night that way she can feed me and put me to bed when she gets home.

Into EVERYTHING

Yep, that's right, I can get myself up on my hands and knees now.  I love getting into EVERYTHING!

Mowing

It is so much fun watching Daddy mow the yard.

Reiman Gardens

Yes!  I'm out of my carseat and out of the stroller, this is going to be great!

We really liked showing Grandma Jo all the different butterflies.

Of course, this is the Owl butterfly!

What are they eating?

Can you spot this camouflaged butterfly?

Everyone enjoyed the other indoor garden as well.  They were working on a Rube Goldberg project that involved a softball and a pitching machine!

Daddy found a couple of rabbits for us to look at outside.

Grandma Jo might be bigger than us, but she isn't bigger than the GIANT gnome!

Emery's turn in the stroller.

Aiden's turn in the stroller. 

Parker's turn in the stroller.

Aiden and Parker checking out the Lego display. 

Wait?!?!?  Who is that in the head hole next to Parker?

Hickory Park for dinner and they came out to sing just for me.

I LOVE candles.

Oh...I guess we were celebrating Mommy's birthday as well.  What a great afternoon!

Traveling

We are very excited to take Grandma Jo up to Reiman Gardens today...can't you tell?

Bed Time

Riding in Style

Look what came in time for mommy's birthday!  Now we all fit in 1 stroller thanks to the add-on seat!
