Thanks, Darbi!

My friend Darbi always gets the kids a little present when she sees them. We met her and her fam Sunday night for pizza and she pulled out two HUGE jaw breakers for the boys. They were seriously almost the size of baseballs! She said, "this is something I would never let Blake (her 3 year old) have, so I got them for your boys!"

Thanks, Darbi! I think when we see you next we'll give your kids a jar of honey :)

Look....a friend!

Anna found herself in the mirror the other day. I am enjoying my two morings a week with just her. I kind of forget what that was like with Will. Anyway, it was so cute to watch her reach out, touch and babble to that "other" baby. I had to snap a few pictures. She entertained herself with her reflection for quite a while!

Lawn project....

Our front grass has always had problems staying green. No matter how much we watered and fertilized it always turned brown by the end of summer. So....Craig decided to take out a bunch of roots, till up the dirt, work in new top soil and re-seed. Now we have baby green grass sprouting up and he is so proud!

I'll keep you posted on it's progress, it is quite the main event around our house!

Wyatt's first day

Can it be? Pre-school already?? Wyatt started this week in Mrs. Porter's class and seems to love it! He was very excited and not the least hesitant on his first day....figures! My little social bug always seems to adjust well. I am enjoying my two mornings a week with just Anna.....girl time!.......but when 11:00 comes I am so ready to pick up my little boy!!

Soccer....

Today Will had his first two soccer games! They were so much fun! I wasn't sure how it would all pan out, but I had a great time cheering for him, Wyatt and Anna played well along the side lines, and Will even scored his first goal! He was a great encourager, always cheering for his team when he was on the side lines, as well. He really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to an awesome season :)

Oh, ya....I forgot to mention the best part of the day. Gatorade and a hostess cupcake after the game!

Pretty little girl

This is a pretty recent picture of Anna. She didn't look too happy in the last picture of her I posted, on Will's first day of school. She IS however a very happy and content little girl who is easily contained to the playroom and entertained by her brothers. She "crawls" (on her tummy....still!) and has just recently pulled up to standing a few times which the boys think is so cool.

Look at those tummy rolls! This is Anna's sweet but bashful look. She is such a little girl!

1st Day of Kindergarten

Well, I did it. I got through my first child's first day of kindergarten with just a few tears. (I had my meltdown early on Sunday night and got most of them out of the way :) This morning Will was excited and just a little bit hesitant. When I picked him up he went on and on about his day and told me everything from reading a gingerbread man book to having rectangle crackers for snack. He even got to see Dad out on the playground during recess. I think he will make this trasition easily. It was sure a big day in his life.....maybe even bigger though in mine.

Wyatt and Anna sending Will off to school this morning.....

Will was blessed to have both Mom and Dad walk him to his class today! Here is is dutifully hanging up his backpack and coat before heading into class.

A NEW tradition! Wyatt and I made brother chocolate chip cookies for a special treat after his first day.
