Happy Birthday Part II

Birthday Part II consisted of a small gathering of family for cake, ice cream and some pool time. My nephew came as a shark and he was so darn cute.

Happy Birthday Part I

Happy 7th Birthday! This is part 1 of 3 for the birthday celebration. We took the boy and his friend to the new indoor pool and they had a blast (little Sis and her friend tagged along too). We then headed to dinner of his choice for his favorite dinner of cheeseburger and french fries. He was quite excited with the new video game and "IPod". He is getting so big and now all of those little baby teeth are starting to wiggle, perhaps the Tooth Fairy will be the next visitor.

On Your Mark, Get Set, Go!

We had Field Day at the end of the school year and the kids were great despite the fact that it was about 100 degrees and no shade to be found. They were so excited because this is the first year they could participate in the whole field day and win ribbons. Our son will do anything for a ribbon except hold a sopping wet sponge over his head in the relay race - he hates to get yucky just like his Dad.

Heading to Pre-K Next Year!

We also had the last day of school celebration for Bella and her friends. It was so cute to see all of the girls and the one little prince they have in the class chatting and playing.

Here is a shot of them showing us how they say their prayers - there is nothing like seeing a group of little ones in prayer together.

I have no idea what they were doing at this point. They were so distracted by the parents in the room. They are so trained to smile for the camera.

This is her BFF - BTW she is having her first sleep over soon. Daddy has to get used to that idea.

Here are her teachers and boy are they patient. All those girls bickering over who is going to wear the most popular princess dress during free time.

This is Mrs. Angie and she is the captain of the whole operation. I knew this was the right place to put the kids was because during our initial call she told me that if a child is having a hard time they just love them up and work through it with them. They are so sweet and have provided both of our kids with a great spiritual base.

Moving to Wolves

What a busy few weeks, hence the absence of posts. On the Scout front the boys had their last den meeting where they were awarded their belt loops for the last part of the year. They were so excited to get all of the shiny new loops.

Next was the Den picnic at the park. These boys could light up a small country on the fuel they can burn when they are running in a big crazy pack. It was a great night to talk about the last year and how it seemed like school had just started. Our little guy will be in second grade next year!

There was lots of general silliness.

They finally climbed on top pf the dragon which has been a big goal of the boys ever since we started coming to the park when he was 2. I am sure they shouldn't be up there, but they worked so hard.I call this thing the arm breaker. It makes me pretty nervous because the Boy runs full speed ahead staring at his feet the whole time. He is also convinced that he is by far the fastest pusher.
Our honorary Scout came along too. She is going to be a great Girl Scout.

The last Scout celebration brought us to graduation from Tiger Cub to Wolf. Again, lots of boy excitement. They had a great year with trips to the nature center, police station, NASA, Capital Visitor Center and many more fun activities. It was great to see them all grow this year despite the madness and noise.

And Then There Were Three!

Happy Birthday to my blue eyed baby!
