Football Camp and Swim Lessons

So today was a big day of summer. Luke started football camp and Jake started swim lessons. Luke was so excited. He was worried he woke up late, that would be 7 and was not going to be there on time. Not to worry, we arrived in plenty of time. We left football camp to head to Jake's swim lessons. He started with Ms. Kelly, who by the way is the best swim teacher ever. Luke went when he was 3 and could swim accross the pool within a couple of days.

Here are how camp and lessons went...

Mom, do you know what hike the ball means?

I said what does it mean.

Well, he says, it is a situation when blah, blah, blah is all I heard.

I could not believe he started a sentence with it is a situation. Hello are you 30?

Jake had a fun time at swim lessons. He is not scared at all. He is a mommy's boy, so he had to warm up to Ms. Kelly. After that he was all Jake. He was throwing everything across the pool, and he kept jumping off the step. The teachers would have another child and Jake would be under water. He is crazy!! He is very fun, but has no fear. He even went under the water to get a ring that was on the bottom step.

We are starting the summer off busy and fun!!

Pre-K Graduation

I cannot believe it, Luke graduated from Pre-K last night. I am so proud of him. He is the sweetest guy ever. I do have to admit I am anxious about him going to kindergarten, but I know he will be okay. I guess it is just because we keep them under our wing and now we have to let them go. He told me the other day he did not want to graduate because he would not see me all the time. I assurred him I would take him and pick him up, have lunch some time, and volunteer at his school. His response was "You won't be able to come and give me a hug during the day like you do at Mother's Day Out."

He was so cute at graduation. He walked in with one of his good friends that was in his class since he was 2, except this year. Luke had all the same friends until this year. We decided to only send him 2 days, so he moved classes from the kids he had been with the previous 3 years. They did a whole program. Each child had a speaking part. It was very sweet.

I am very proud of my precious Luke. He truly is a gift from God.

Prosperity Place Fun Run

This weekend was a blast. We all participated in a fundraiser for our niece Livia's school...Prosperity Place. It is a school where special need's kids recieve therapy. It is a school where all things are possible. Doctors said Livi would never walk and she runs now. It is an amazing school. My sister-in-law is the founder of the school. So the school had the first ever fun run and town fair. It was so fun. I was in charge of the drinks and desserts, so we worked on labeling water bottles and getting desserts in the weeks before. I also had a la-di-da booth, so I was pretty busy. The boys and Scott ran the fun run and Luke was so proud. We had been practicing for a few weeks, so he would not be sore. After that, there was a town fair. the boys dunked their cousins in the dunking booth, and they played games and ate everything in sight. It was so fun.

The rest of the weekend we spent in the pool at Scott's sisters. His parents had come in town, so we just hung out with his family. Jake seriously stayed in the pool for 3-4 hours each day. He did not want to get out. It was funny. Luke has become a great swimmer.

Today it is hot. I am not ready for these 100 degree days...yuck!!

Mom's and Muffins

Have I told you how much I love my boys? They are awesome. I was so excited to get to go to Moms and Muffins at school. It had to be a rushed time, so I could get to both classes and back to my baby room to take pictures, but it was so fun. Luke had made a calendar for his kindergarten year. Each page had his handprints somewhere on it. Jake gave me a flower and a keychain with his picture. He did not want to give the keychain up, so we put it on his backpack. On Mother's Day I just wanted to spend time with the boys. I have been so busy with la-di-da, I have not been able to play with my boys. So after church we went to McDonalds, yes Mother's Day is the slowest day at McDonald's all year. They boys played. We then came home and Luke and I went on a mile walk. He is "training" for the fun run he is doing this week. We played and then went to eat with my mom and grandmother for Mother's Day. I am so blessed to have such wonderful boys. They are such a perfect gift. Oh, yea not to leave Scott out. He made me a wonderful breakfast in bed before church. What a great guy he is.

On Saturday we went to two swim parties. we went

to the new Frisco aquatic center for a party. That place is awesome. The boys had so much fun. Then that night went to our neighbors bday party and swam outside. The boys stayed in the water for probably 3 hours. It was so fun and relazing.

La-Di-Da has kicked off

So where have I been? In a whirlwind. As some of you know, my friend Lori and I have started a new business. We are making kids clothes. It is very fun, but we have been very busy. I am definitely not complaining, I am just not sure where I have been. We have had 2 parties that have been great successes and many orders pouring in. We are so greatful. I will attach some of my favorite pics, so if you ever need a baby gift or just some cute clothes, let me know.

On to my precious boys. We have two very exciting things to talk about. Luke registered for kindergarten. He is very excited. I am kind of sad, but I know that he is ready. He is finishing baseball and soccer for the season and we are getting ready for summer. Now to Mr. Jake...he is officially potty trained!! Hooray. I was going to wait until the summer, but Jake has a mind of his own. I did not fight it and he is doing great. I figured he would be 5 before we potty trained. He is a ball of energy. Yesterday we went to lunch after church, there were over 20 of us, so the older kids sat at a different table. He sat with the older kids. I look down at the table and he is standing up, grabbing the ketchup bottle and starts to squeeze. All the kids are laughing out of control. I thought he squeezed the ketchup onto a plate. Oh no, he squeezed it into a kid's hand. What do you do , but laugh. I don't know. He is a little mess, but one that I love so much.

La-Di-

Happy Easter

I hope you all had a great Easter. We had a really fun weekend. We actually started by dying eggs on Wednesday. Saturday we went to an egg hunt for Prestonwood North. Luke had fun doing sack races, egg races, and bouncing on the bounce house. Jake played games also, but had more fun cracking the eggs with his feet and sneaking the candy before the egg hunt. Sunday morning we gave the boys their Easter baskets, from us not the Easter Bunny, and went to church. We went to lunch at Don and Tricia's and had an egg hunt there. Then we stopped by to say hello to Scott's Papa Leflar. On we went to my aunt Debbie's house for dinner and yet another egg hunt. The funny thing about all of it is Jake would find the first egg, stomp on it, eat the candy and be finished. He loves his candy. Church was awesome and I am so thankful we are able to celebrate Easter and that Jesus rose again.
