Easton-OH

Best friend Mason. They were so excited to be in the same class this year.

I feel like we have been so busy lately with school programs, sports and the end of the year "stuff" that every parent knows about if you have kids in school. Easton just finished up baseball seasons. Boy I'm glad cause its getting too hot to be outside! He had a great team with lots of little friends. He had a lot of fun playing. It was fun watching him improve and get more confidence in hitting the ball. He'd tell me before every game he was going to hit a homerun. It never happened but I love his great attitude! Go IRONBIRDS!! "Muffins with Mom" was a highlight for me this month. Going to Easton's school and watching their program put on by the 1st graders. Then having muffins and being presented a little flower pot that Easton made me. I wished I had a picture of it. I love this kid. He makes me so happy

Pre-school graduation

Sweet Maycee Ann graduated from preschool. Mrs. Jodi is the WORLDEST greatest teacher. She is so loving and makes every child feel like they are #1. She has taught Maycee to read and to love reading. She has helped Maycee overcome her huge FEAR of animals( dogs and cats). Mrs. Jodi got a dog in the beginning of the year named Oscar. This dog, along with Mrs. Jodi has cured Mayc of her fear. She loves Oscar (and all dogs)and asks to have playdates with him weekly. She is going to miss Mrs. Jodi so much. We are glad Cannon gets to go to her pre-school next year AND we are glad she lives behind us so can hop the fence for a quick hug!

The cutest program ever with singing and dancing. After they all got their graduation certificates , Mrs. jodi had each child bring a flower to their moms. The country song "Let them be little" was playing. Talk about a tear fest! Everyone was bawling. This is only pre-school graduation and I don't even want to think about high school.

Maycee and Peyton laughing at something! These girls are hillarious when they get the giggles

This picture makes me cry. Maycee had just given Mrs. Jodi her gift- a gift certificate for a pedicure and a handmade by Maycee Budge -a plate with a picture she drew of her, Mrs. Jodi and Oscar!

Summer has Sprung

Watching her brothers and sister swim while sucking on some delicious goggles!

Didn't mean to post the same picture of her cute newly painted toes-they are really too cute!

Maycee enjoying her lunch on the side of the pool!

She loves the water-just happy floating around in her green pad!

"I don't swim very well, Mom." This is what I hear probably 4 times a day. Cannon is learning to swim and currently taking swim lessons. He really wants to swim without floaties, not quite there yet. I keep telling him he does swim well and we just have to keep practicing.

He loves his teacher Ms. Marci and looks forward to swim lessons everyday. I love this Cannon boy.

One, two, three, .....four kids.WOW! I still have to count them everywhere I go so don't forget one. We have forgotten Brinklee a few times. Started walking in somewhere and realized no baby. NEVER again.

This little hat was Maycee's. It fits Brinklee just right.

I was reading my friends blog and it was talking about the beautiful spring weather.I LOVE spring and everything about it. I love the flowers. I love the trees green leaves just starting to grow. I love the birds chirping and squirrels running around. I love how everything is turning green. I love the gorgeous weather.I love it!!! and I miss it. In Arizona we have spring for 8 months but its different. And right now it should be spring but not here. We are already in summer and HOT it is! We are in the 100's and these are the things we do when we know summer is here and staying for 4 more months..........

*lots of swimming (kids can't wait to do it all day long when there's NO school)

*living in our swimsuits

*blowing up floaties and toys for the pool

*jumping on the tramp with wet swimsuits (the only way these days)

*playing in the sprinklers and squirt guns

* eating LoTS of Otter Pops

*painting toes and fingernails

*and waiting for school to be out-2 more days YEAh!!!!

Happy 6th Hadley

Maycee's best friend is turning 6 tomorrow. You two have been friends since Maycee was born. You used to love to dance together at Ms. Tracee's, go to the fabulous parks in Cleveland, play dress -ups, eat treats, and just be together. We are glad we get to see you when we come up north but we still wished we lived closer. Maycee loves you and thinks the world of you. Thanks for being Maycee's sweet friend. Happy Birthday

For the love of Bows

Brinklee has discovered the big blob that sits upon her head everyday. She reaches and pulls at them all day. No, no baby you must wear a bow and will continue to wear a bow for a long time. Trust me on this one, baby girl you look so cute with a bow!!

LPM

Easton and Maycee had their Lets Play Music Recital this past weekend. They did awesome playing their parts on the bells. They are looking forward to playing the keyboard next year. I have been SO impressed with what they are learing-all the theory of music but in such a fun way they actually like it!
