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!!!!! And as promised a short video if Liam walking - I had to hide around the corner so he wouldn't see me trying to film him.

messy face and all! Eli is so much fun to have around the house. He is quite challenging at times - for example - he is still not potty trained....we have to lock up every place that has food or he will eat everything we have in about 10 minutes - all silently! But he is such a joy to have in the house and he always has a smile on his face....here are a few things that Eli has said or done lately. At our house if we have to open something for the boys we take a 'tax' (small piece or bite) for opening it. Recently we were at church and Eli asked me to open his fruit snacks, I did and handed them back to him, he responded 'You need take tax mommy' When we were driving to TN last month Eli wanted a snack. Here is our conversation: Me: What do you say? Eli: Thank you Me: No, what do you say? Eli: Your welcome Me: No, what do you say? Eli: I don't know, which one is it? Me: Please Eli: oh, please can I have a snack Eli loves to watch when Jared or I drive away in th

Last night was the Father/Son campout with church. I get off easy since I have all boys, although Liam did stay behind - he's just a little too small for my comfort to go camping with all the big boys without the supervision of his mommy too. 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.
