Although this summer has only just begun, the four of us are having a blast so far and are really enjoying the gorgeous weather. We haven’t started any of our park district stuff (except for tennis lessons) so we’ve had time during the day to sleep in an hang out. Lately, the kids have been playing outside everyday and are liking the slip and slide and water balloons. We went over to our good friend’s house for Memorial Day and the boys got to ride a four wheeler for the 1st time. The two of them loved it, espeically Bennet who I’m convinced could go for hours and hours. A man of speed. Their farm is so fun and is so peaceful. We’ve been to the library a couple of times and Hayden has already met his 1st reading goal. Jamie and I went to Chicago and had a wonderful time while the boys stayed with Gigi and Popi. Time just keeps flying by so I’m trying to savor these warm summer days with my kids before their too old and don’t want to hang out with me anymore.

Goodbye 1st Grade and Preschool
It’s really hard to believe that this school year is almost over. Next week will be their last week and both boys are quite exicted. Hayden’s had a great 1st grade year and has definitely enjoyed having Mrs. Brooks for his teacher. It’s amazing to see how far he’s progressed in 1st grade, especially with reading and math. And, as you can see from the shot below, he’s finally lost one of his two front teeth. The other one will be soon to follow this summer as it’s right there ready to pop out. As for Bennet, he’s also loved his preschool and will be sad to leave it for good as he’ll be off to Kindergarten next year. He’s super excited about it though and can’t wait to be at the same school as his big brother. Like Hayden, he’s made a lot of progress this year and has now even started doing some simple addition problems and learning lots of new sight words. Spring has brought out all of the beautiful flowers, green grass and nice weather. I can’t wait to get outside more with the boys and take some more fun pictures!
Definitely still getting good use out of last years Halloween costume.
Boys love watching these little strawberries grow.
He blows me a kiss, smiles and waves at me everyday when I drop him off. So sweet!
Love lilacs in the spring

Guess Who’s Five?
How is our baby five? We’ve been saying that a lot these past few weeks. Fastest five years of our lives, but some of the best. We’re so proud of him and just love the sweet little boy he’s become.
