Worn Out!

Not even Tom & Jerry could keep him awake!

Yard Work Fun!

Matthew has been working hard on our backyard this spring -- and he has two great helpers!

The boys have become experts at finding worms!

This started out as one worm, but Zak
got a little excited showing it off!

"How did that happen?"

This guy is big on bubbles!

Sam's a real helper -- especially if it involves water!

Silly boys!

We All Scream For Ice Cream!

Mormor sent the boys some ice cream money -- so it didn't take much convincing to take a trip to Baskin Robbins!

We all have our favorites -- Mom and Sam love chocolate, Dad likes Butter Pecan and Zak goes for vanilla with sprinkles.

Thanks Mormor, for a fun night out!

Gobbles

Zak has a love for his "gobbles" -- he wears them all the time!

Goofy boy!

Open House

Sam's school held their annual Open House -- and we were there for all the fun!

We were able to see some of the projects their class had worked on during the year, walk through the first grade classrooms and meet the teachers for next year and go to the Book Fair.

Zak and Sam being crazy at Sam's desk.

Sam with his picture of what he think
he'll look like when he's 100 years old.
(We laughed because Matthew was in the
middle of"Mustache May" for work -- and
Sam had a mustache in his picture!)


Sam's report on cows.

The highlight of the evening was seeing what first grade will be like -- and it looks pretty cool!

Big Fish

Sam started swim lessons again -- this time the goal was to actually be able to swim (for a short distance) independently.

Ready to go on the first day of class!

Sam can hold his breathe for long time and is getting really good at floating on his back and on his front. We're looking forward to practicing his new skills this summer!

Giving Two Wheels A Try!

Zak wanted to take off his training wheels and give it a try -- so we did.

Proud boy on two wheels!

Peddling away!

He's not big on paying attention to where he's going, so when his head turns to look at something, his handlebars go the same way. But he's doing pretty good for not even being 3 years old yet!

Zak rides to the park with his training wheels on, then Matthew takes them off so he can practice a little, then the training wheels go back on for the ride home.

By the end of the summer -- I predict everyone in our house is on two wheels!

Teacher Appreciation

It's Teacher Appreciation Week and Sam's class is doing something everyday for Mrs. Hennigan -- just little things to let her know how much we appreciate her!

All the kids were supposed to bring in a handmade thank you card on Monday.

Sam did it all by himself!

He really loves math!

I think Mrs. Hennigan was a little surprised when kids started handing her cards. I think she was really surprised when all the kids brought her a flower today!

We're so thankful for Sam's teacher!

The Big Boy Bike

Somebody has been begging to ride Sam's old green bike.

Can you guess who?

Zak hopped on that bike and took off!
