End of school Party!

Adam & Jude had games the other night and I got this picture of Adam and Adam. The only boys on the team with last name initials :)

Jude sitting with his team after his game. Eden sat too when she heard to coach say, "Everyone sit."
Last year after Adam finished Kindergarten we started our "End of the Year" party tradition! Everyone has a bunking party in the living room! We pulled in our extra queen mattress and the boys got to sleep on in. The girls stayed up for the movie, but then went to their own beds, but the boys laid on their bed in the living room, ate ice cream, popcorn, and watched Tom & Jerry. They were so excited to "stay up late" that Adam said he wasn't sad that he lost his baseball game because he remembered that they got to stay up late!


Jude and Eden were playing so sweet. Here is Jude trying to get Eden to say, "I'm two!"
Eden really wanted to sleep on the mattress with Jude! Too cute!!
Jude with his special end of the year ice cream...or should I say bat cream!
Adam with his HUGE ice cream sandwich that he would NOT share with Marc (and it was not for lack of trying)!
They boys, in bed, watching Tom & Jerry, and making memories! A wonderful end to a fun school year!

Good Citizen

Adam received lots of certificates this year for staight A's and reading, but the one we are really proud of is the "Good Citizen" award! Adam behave's himself very well at school and is a great example to all of his friends. He's a great leader and we are so proud of him and the light he is being at school!! Here is to our Good Citizen!!

One Week Away from 2!!

We are going to the beach Saturday for the week and that is where Eden will get to have her birthday! I'm sure we will get lots of pictures, but just in case we don't have the Internet I wanted to wish my E Beth and VERY Happy Birthday!! I can't believe my baby is going to be 2! She's speaking in sentences, sleeping in the big bed, said good-bye to her passy and high chair, and will start potty training when we get home from the beach! BIG STUFF!! What joy she brings to our family! Her brothers and sister just adore her and take such good care of her. Eden loves having them home for the summer because right before school was out we had a morning ritual of her asking me where daddy was, where Adam was, where Jude was, and where Krimson was. We ALL love you EB, Eden Beth, E Beth, Eden!! Happy Birthday!!

Playing in the Rain!

One thing that can REALLY get my kids excited is when it starts raining! They all LOVE running, playing, yelling, swinging, jumping, and acting crazy in the rain. Here are some cute shots from the other day! Enjoy!

Whose Kids?

I'm not sure if these girls are mine or not....the veggies in front of them would suggest that they are not. This was lunch one day last week for the girls...peas, carrots, and black olives! They enjoyed themselves completely! You go girls, be a good example for your mama!

Adam's Last Day of First Grade!

First Grade...Check

George Welch Elementary...Check!

It's been a great year for Adam. He's loved first grade and has made some nice friends! He's really grown and has done really well this year! Here he is at his desk!

Adam and Wyatt have really gotten close and we've already made plans to hang out this summer!!
Peyton and Adam got close later in the year and he is a fun little boy! I'm sure we'll be seeing more of him too!
Miss Loveridge was such a sweet and good teacher! Adam did very well having her as his teacher this year! She always told me how well he behaved in class and at the end of the year he received the "Good Citizen" award for the boys in his class!
Adam by his locker!
We've now got a 2nd grader who will be at Drew Elementary next year with his Kindergarten brother, Jude!!! But first, we've got the summer to take care of!!

Hitting!

Jude's goal every game is to bust the fence down with every hit!! He has been a great hitter this year and this was the triple he hit tonight!!

Adam hit his first Home Run tonight! We were losing and his home run and the boy behind him won the game for us!! He was SO excited! He hit the ball out the 3rd base line all the way to the fence! He booked it home a few steps before the catcher!
