A Boy and His Dog

Bryce loves to snuggle with Grayson!

Fire Pit

John has been talking about buying a fire pit for the backyard for several years.  We decided to build one on our back patio using the pavers we had leftover from the project.  Tonight we built our first fire and roasted marshmallows.  We loved it and we are looking forward to many more nights around the fire this summer.

Cousin Sleepover

We invited Hunter and Wyatt over for a sleepover last night.  They had a great time playing, watching a movie, and camping out on the living room floor.

Hunter and Bryce.  By the way....Bryce dressed himself this morning and picked out his own clothes.  I think we need to work with him on how to match clothes!!

Bryce and Wyatt.

Hunter and Landon had a great time swinging together!

Spring Open House

Landon's school hosted its annual Spring Open House and Kindergarten graduation event tonight.  This year's event had a patriotic theme, and all of the kids dressed in red, white, or blue.  They all did a great job sining songs on the stage.

Last Soccer Practice

Landon's first soccer season ended this evening with a pizza party and fun game with the parents.  He really liked playing soccer and he is looking forward to playing again next year.

Grayson Update

We are becoming quite attached to our sweet little Grayson!  He has become a wonderfully loyal and obedient dog, and he is now a part of the family.  Bryce and John are especially fond of him, and Landon - well, Landon just torments the poor thing!  We are working with Landon to help him be gentle around Grayson.  And believe it or not, as someone who never wanted an animal, I am really enjoying being a dog owner!

Bye Bye Training Wheels

Landon said he was ready to try and ride his bike without training wheels.  He got on the small bike, and John held on to him.

About two minutes later Landon was riding the bike!  I continue to be amazed at how motivated he is to keep up with his big brother!

Landon and Mommy Day

Landon and I had a special day together.  After the Mother's Day picnic he decided he wanted to play at the park.

Landon learned how to swing by himself without being pushed!

Going down the slide on his belly was a lot of fun!

One. Happy. Boy.
It was a great day together!

Mother's Day Picnic

Landon's school hosted a "Mother's Day Picnic" this morning.  Landon made himself a ham sandwich for our picnic and packed it in his favorite lunch bag.

Landon proudly displayed the card and paper weight he made me for Mother's Day.

Landon's class lined up in the front of the classroom and sang all of the moms a few special songs.

This is Landon and another one of his "poses."
