Jake and Patricks first day of school!

Jake is starting school today in Purple class. He will be the older three yr old class, which means a bigger classroom and playing on the big kids playground. It is the same class room as David's blue class. He even has one of David's old teachers. Jake also has a new teacher to the school that knew my mom. It is nice to know that he is in good hands.

Patrick started his mommy's day out program at the same school. He was such a big boy with his backpack on. He walked into the class room and never looked back! I was really expecting tears! My boy is getting so big!

David's 1st day at kindergarten

I can't believe that my baby started Kindergarten today. We walked him in to his class room to be greeted by his Teacher, Mrs. VanDusen. He even has lockers in his classroom. in which he can't stop talking about! After we got home David lost his top front tooth! What a big day he had!!!!!!

Zonkers

It has been in the 100s the last couples of weeks and the pool is feeling like bath water, so to stay cool we decided to go Zonkers!

Patrick turns two!

We celebrated Patrick's b-day at the Herman's pool. It was a perfect 86 degree weather with some cloud cover. A break from the 100 degree weather we had been having. We finished the day with Blues clues themed cupcakes, in which Patrick decided to bathe in!

What Patrick is doing at 2!
Knows his Animals and the sounds they make, saying two-three word sentences, says yes and no with meaning. Likes to kiss and hug. Knows when he does something wrong and says sorry. Like to talk on a pretend phone, can count to 10 and says colors, even though it might not be the right color.

Saturday we took David and his friends to go Putt Putt golfing for his b-day party. It was HOT, but the kids had a lot of fun! Friends at his party. Ethan, Alex, Ryland,Graham, Tanyan.

David's 6th b-day!!!!

My baby turned 6 today! He woke up early to a bed full of green balloons and a decorated house. We celebrated opening gifts and eating a cookie cake his Oma gave him! What a special Oma he has!

We visited my friend Erin(Carter)Brandt this weekend. I haven't seen her in 16 years. Our junior year in high School she moved away to Jefferson city and we lost touch. Thanks to facebook we reunited and we decided to take a trip. Erin and I had a great time catching up,while the kids had fun playing with each other,mainly swimming and playing WII and Nintendo DS! She has a boy, Carter that is David's age and his birthday is the day after David's and a girl Carley that is 2 1/5. The weekend went too quick, but we hope to visit soon!
