LEGO KidsFest

The boys play with Legos ALL THE TIME and when we saw the advertisement for LEGO KidsFest, we knew we couldn't miss it. The boys were the perfect ages, and we all three had a really fun morning. We made it to the vast majority of the stations, had lunch, and them hit a few more. Hearing one of Lego's "Master Builders" explain how everything is made was my favorite part and we all three loved building with the giant brick pile. 

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend this year. It was, by far, the best weather that I can ever remember having. (In fact, we ran out of sunscreen on Memorial Day and had to replace two different tubes. I'd say that means it's been a great spring!)

Our weekend started off at Bluegrass Indoor Karting, Caleb celebrated his friend Eli's 8th birthday. 

Saturday evening we went to the lake for a big summer kick-off pig roast. The band was great, the food was delicious, and the location was perfect!

The view from our boat slip. They had the band set up in the parking lot.

Little brother was pumped to get the first slice of the cake!

While the marina provided the pig, everyone brought a side dish. Caleb went through the line a second time to sample various desserts. :)

Sunday we spent the day on the water. Caleb tubed...

and Luke got in a solid two hour nap!

We spent Memorial Day at the pool.

These boys (and their momma) are loving summer...and the fun has just began!

School's Out!

The last week of school for the boys was a busy one! 

We had to get one last thing checked off of Luke's pre-Kindergarten list- an eye exam. Thankfully, he didn't have any issues!

This is what happens when I have to wake up Luke from his nap for carpool

Frozen yogurt is a great idea the last week of school. :)

May 27th

The LAST day for our preschooler and second grader.

Thumbs up for SUMMER!

(How could he already be going to third grade. That is such a big grade!)

Our pool happened to open on the last day of school, so we spent the afternoon swimming. 

It was the perfect ending to a great school year!

Caleb's Music

Caleb has been taking piano lessons for a little less than two years, and we are so proud of the progress that he is making. While his teacher still uses basic, instructional materials, she also gives him songs that interest him. While they are advanced, and it takes a long time for him to learn them, he is able to get it over time. Recently he has worked hard on the theme song to Star Wars and the Imperial March, and I love hearing him play them. And, I'm amazed that he has it memorized!

Luke's Preschool Graduation

On May 24th, our baby (Although he doesn't like that term anymore!) had his preschool graduation program. He did a great job! He smiled, sang, and did all of the little hand motions. It was so obvious that he was having fun!

We have been so blessed by Mrs. Thomas this year! 

Colin, Luke's best friend, is in the top row, on the far left.

Luke's speaking part...He memorized the verse Luke 2:52, and while it took him a few tries to get started, he finished strong!

Loving the Dentist

Both Caleb and Luke love going to the dentist. They seriously get excited when I remind them about their appointments. Last week I had to take a picture of Luke, and his giant grin, before his cleaning. He had just commented, "I just LOVE this!"
The dental hygienist and I just cracked up laughing.

Star Wars Night

The boys were so excited when Grandpa scored tickets to the Star Wars night with the Louisville Bats. Luke Skywalker and Bobo Fett were ready to go!

They loved seeing the characters and were spoiled with lots of ballpark food and sweet treats.

Thanks, Grandmom & Grandpa!
