Back to School

 Parker's first day of 3rd grade! Hard to believe. He's lost that little boy look too. :(

 Cole's first day of kindergarten! Getting so big and so eager to go to school. First day, he came home and said it was cool and fun. He wants to go back! Yay!

Can you belive I didn't cry? He looks so much older here than 5 and kindergartener to me. Only one more baby at home and in 2 years I'll be taking another picture just like this! Boo.

Uncle Steffen's wedding

 All the kiddos were in the wedding and all of them fulfilled their duties. Chloe ended up running down the aisle after the other flower girl ditched her. It was cute. Parker was super, super shy and was blushing the whole time.

 The newlyweds!!

My sweet mama!

 And my all time favorite of my kiddos. So fun! I cannot wait to see what poses they do when they get older. Pics are gonna be so fun!

A family pic...we can all smile at the same time! ;)


The wedding was beautiful! Simple, smooth, and well done.

And now we have a 3rd grader

So proud of this guy! Again made AB honor roll and even brought up some grades that went down during a torturous 6 weeks with an awful student teacher. He missed the last 4 days of school because of our trip to FL for Uncle Steffen's wedding that he was in. Went and picked up his report card the other day and read the teacher's comment that said: Had Parker finished the school year he would have been promoted to 3rd grade for the 2012-2013 school year. I did have a freak out moment for a bit. After finding the teacher's email I contacted her and she got right back to me. Apparently, if they miss the last full day of school that is the comment they have to put. WHAT?! Kind of misleading if you ask me. He is INDEED going on to 3rd grade. Whew! This mama was ready to fight for sure!

 Just capturing the beauty of just one of the dozen roses I received on Mother's Day!

Horseback riding with cub scouts and I captured this! love.

A little bit of May so far

 So handsome and growing up fast!

 His 2nd soccer trophy! So proud of it.

 Preschool graduation and now kindergarten bound!

 I'm not sure I'm ready to have both of the boys in school full time. Guess that means I better make
the best of our summer! Ready or not it will be here quickly.

 Princess Chloe with her "sweet" face! Seems to not enjoy the camera lately.

 Cole scored a goal at his last game from the half field line! It was an awesome shot!

Parker had his crossover celebration for cub scouts and is now officially a bear.


We've had a lot going on this month already and there is more to come. Bill and I have also managed to get pretty sick this month too. Bill was down first for 3 days and then a week later I came down with strep. Not fun. I could have done without that experience. I felt as if I was going to die. So hopefully that will be the first and last time I get it. ;)

Worked a little photoshop magic on this one! Took a bit, but now they all have a smile.

New kiddo pics!

Took the kiddos out the other night to a field of yellow weeds!
