Goodbye prek, hello kindergarten!

Officially he will be the class of 2023…but for now he is the prek class of 2010.  And I am REALLY hoping that it doesn’t go by as fast as these first 5 have.

   Our graduate (with his new goofy grin)

 

Luke and his buddy Ashley

The best part of the ceremony….right when he walked out he had some big shout outs to Mommy, Daddy, Momo and Amma.

The class.

“where do you start your letters?…..at the TOP!”

 

and rockin out to Mat Man.  He LOVES that song :)

Luke, Paige and Sydney

  And his very best buddies, Trevor and Gavin.  As you can see they had cupcakes and were OVER picture taking.  Luke right behind Luke, he has a heart with his name on it. His teacher picked one word that described each kid and then wrote something about them.  For Luke she picked HEART.  I love that she completely understood Luke and provided a GREAT preschool experience.  We will miss her!!

Our family.

Luke’s number one fans! They braved the heat….Ethan was SUPER happy to be there! HA!

And Momo, of course, came too.  Luke is one lucky boy.

And his teacher who will always hold a special place in our heart, Miss Amanda!

Summer…..here we come!!

We are 9 very short days away from summer.  We can’t wait.  We kicked it off this weekend by celebrating Memorial Day.  I have a feeling summer is going to be a whole lot of this….

  We went to a party at the Valdes.  The boys LOVED it!  They (especially Luke) keeps reminding me that Natalie said we can come over this summer.  Little does she know she may have her own little water rat :)

Max teaching Luke some new moves.

For some reason this is Drew’s new favorite face. 

Then today Luke and Drew decided to have a water balloon fight.  It was Drew and Daddy vs. Luke and Kaiden.  I still don’t know who “won”.

 

 

Reloading….

 

 

I blame Uncle Sean and Jett for Drew’s “precision aiming”…..only a Marine could teach him that :)

and in honor of Uncle Sean, Papa and John’s dad…thank you to all who serve or have served our country.  We are so grateful.

Happy Mother’s Day

 

I had a fantastic Mother’s Day with my 3 favorite boys.  We had a lazy morning and then headed off to the park for a picnic.

Little Drew….

….with big muscles

 

love, love, love them.

 

wouldn’t be the same without his goony face :)

 

 

silly boys. 

the long awaited birthday date

    Luke has been waiting for his “date” for weeks.  He woke up super early and came running in our room screaming, “it’s date day!”  First stop (after dropping Drew off at cousin Jett’s) was Starbucks for some vanilla milk.

…the boy who made me a mommy….

We played quite a few rounds of Sequence.  Every time it was my turn Luke asked me to “take it easy on him”

For the record, I never won.

After that it was off to Toys R Us to pick out a toy. 

Then to lunch.

and a little travel trouble.  He really wanted the Star Wars trouble game but we couldn’t find it at the store.  Luckily Rin Rin came through later that night. 

and ice cream!  he looked terrified when they sang to him.

…..and then we went and saw How To Train a Dragon in 3-D.  (secretly I was dreading this part because it didn’t look all that great but it was darling!)

then we headed to momo’s house to meet up with the family for some home-made cake by Raquel.

Jett was obviously partied out from his day with Drew.

one word. spoiled :)

…oh, yes, Momo got him a talking Bill Clinton.  He looked rather confused when he opened it.  :)  (It was a belated souvenir from Arkansas.  she made up for it by buying Toy Story 3 legos.  Tons of them)

Happy Birthday Little Man.  I hope all your wishes come true…..
