House Full of Boys!

Last Friday Adley graduated from preschool. He will be heading off to kindergarten in the fall and I am so excited for him and me (only 2 kiddos at home). His school had a great program where each class sang 2 songs and then they presented the diplomas. Singing Getting ready Presentation of diploma with Miss Wilma The Graduate The Family - minus Aidan who was at school The school had a picnic at a local park which we went to afterward and the kids had a blast. Adley is really excited to be going to the big kids school, but says he will miss his preschool teachers sooooooo much. Eli will be starting at this same preschool next fall. Yipee!!!!!

I had to work yesterday and couldn't find a sitter for Liam. Jared wanted to leave around 2 or 3pm to get up there and get settled and let the boys play. I ended up having to find coverage for the last half of my shift which is sometimes a pain to do, but I got lucky. I came home got the boys packed and off to camping and it was just Liam and me. We met up with a friend from work. My friend and I are both trying to lose some of our baby weight and had started a new diet. I am down 9lbs now with only 6 more to go. So Liam and Eli's baby weights are gone...just two more babies to go. It will be nice to get back to the weight I was when I got married. We decided with our weight loss it was time to go shopping.
