Someone is getting too big and wants to read instead of playing with the toys at the library...

 Caught him reading...

 Went to a kid's workshop at home depot--P. was thrilled to use a real hammer...

 I came into the playroom to find this little guy completely happy and surrounded by toys...

 Went to a Raider baseball game--unfortunately they started early due to impending rain, so we were late...and the games aren't as long as a traditional baseball game of 9 innings...only 7, and we got there in the 5th. We were still sitting in the stands waiting for the next inning, as everyone else was getting up--needless to say the boys were disappointed and wanted to see more baseball.

 Swiss Avenue home tour with my mom and McKenna for mother's day weekend...It was amazing...I'm in love with these homes, the street, the architecture, the history. One in particular was decorated completely mid-century, but with the original 1920s architecture, fixtures, and windows--I loved it!

 P. is not much of an art/coloring/drawing person, so I caught a rare moment with him.

 E. loves taking baths in the big tub now, especially with bubbles...

 Just another soccer game...

 Hanging out with Isaac and Isabel for the day...

 Isabel loves taking care of E...and trying to give him his pacis...

 Look a turtle...

 My little cuddlebug...

 Shopping at Joann's with my little guys...

 Working on some projects...

 N. spent so much time working on this A for Atticus' family--he wanted it to be just perfect!

 P. really wanted to buy and paint this birdhouse, so he spent his own money (only $1), and was so serious as he made sure to cover each spot...

 E. likes to stick his face in the bubbles in the tub...

 Just another night at the soccer fields...the little boys made lots of friends...

 P.'s program--he stood up there for a bit, but then started to melt down--he wasn't in tears yet, but you could tell he really didn't want to be up there, so Mrs. Cherry had him come off the stage...he sat with her for a bit, then came back on stage without his hat for a bit, but it was just too much for him, but I'm proud of him, because he went back on stage for the finale and sang with his friends.

 All smiles after the program...

 Loves the tools and fix-it area in his classroom...

 We all love Mrs. Cherry...

 

Getting big...

 N. got an award for the vocabulary bee at the school board meeting--he got a perfect score and 2nd place(tie breaker was writing sentences using the words).  He was so proud of himself--not to mention the award was a gift card to toysrus--we had no clue of that before hand.

 Just shopping at herbmart...they have perfect size carts for peter to push...

 E. loves laundry baskets...

 S.'s birthday--we got him a formula 1 lego set...

 Cake...

 Love this man...

 E. loved the wrapping paper roll...

 We love Atticus and his family so much...it's been 3 years since he passed away--we still think of him everyday and miss him, but we know that he is with Heavenly Father and that he is happy and that his family will be reunited with him one day...

 If only my boys would actually keep on a hat...

 1st swim of the year...

 Lounging out--don't worry it was about 6pm and cloudy, so no tans or sunburns occured:)

 Field day--luckily the rain held off, but because of a very rainy spring, they got to do their events on the high school football field because it is turf...

 tug-of-war...

 P. loved being on the football field and did lots of running...

 I'm 3, but...

 I'm almost 4...
