Kindergarten Graduation

Well, Ben's preschool days are over! Here are some pictures of his graduation. Next year, he will go to public school Kindergarten...he's excited and I know he will do great! I just wish time would slow down a little bit...

Best friend Jaxon...

It was Anna's last day of school too...

Anna with her teachers Kim and Robin, and random friend Riley that wouldn't get out of the picture!!

Fun Filled Days

Just a few of the fun things we've been up to lately...

Building forts:

Enjoying Ben's class field trip to Willow Springs Park:

Ben and his best buddy Jaxon

Last Monsay we got to Dad's work at 7:45 and had a breakfast picnic waiting for the garbage truck to come.  Ben lives garbage trucks so much lately, he just had to see this front-loader pick up a load!!

Spring is Finally Here!

We have been busy enjoying these nice days...

Golf lessons with ALL our buddies - so fun!!

Easter parties at school!

Check Ben out going all the way across the monkey bars by himself!!

Poor Anna got a bug bite near her eye that got really swollen. She hasn't let it slow her down, though!!  They had fun at swimming lessons today!

Ben was super excited to have brought Boris the Bear home from school this week - the first thing he did was share a snack when we got home :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Nobody got pinched at school today!!

Yummy green-themed lunch :). 

...and a fun leprechaun bath for everyone!

A Pretty Day

Finally, we got some sunshine!! Daddy took these two out to play in the mud :)

They've had fun playing dress-up lately.  Anna adores her big brother. She picks her costume according to what he picked, so that they will "match".  Here is Dr. Ben and Doc McStuffins Anna, and Prince Charming and Cinderella.

A fun game of Pictionary!  We were talking about sharing and what kinds of things we could share with each other....the TV remote was on there, ha ha!!

Cutie Pies on Valentine's Day

The kids had the best Valentine's Day this year!  At school, Anna wore the Valentine's dress I made for her. She gave her classmates "Frozen" valentines and ate ice cream and cookies at their party.

Checking out her goodies after school!

Ben's homework was to decorate a tissue box to use as a Valentine mailbox. So, we made one that looked like a minion from his favorite movie Despicable Me.  He was SuPeR proud of it!

Here he is with his best buddy Jaxon.  They cooked up a plan to have similar mailboxes :)

While Ben was at school Friday, Mommy and Anna ran errands. Cutest little girl ever!

Ditching the Training Wheels!!

Last week, we had a nice, "warm" day that was perfect for a bike ride. We don't get to ride a lot because our driveway is pretty small and we live on a hill. So we walked down to the cul-de-sac with the bike and scooter, and thought we'd try to see if Ben could ride without training wheels.

Well, he got it right off the bat! It was the cutest thing… He was so excited he just giggled up and down the street the whole way. :)

Here he is, with his sweet daddy running beside him until he could run no more!
