Preschool Graduation

Ethan graduated from preschool on Thursday night. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. He is off to Kindergarten in the fall. Ethan is such a sweet and wonderful boy and I love him with all my heart.

Just Some Cute Pictures

I was busy this week with my job at church getting ready for two meetings today. The children's curriculum, which I responsible for, was starting a new series so I needed to work on that and get it out to the workers. I am also the VBS Director this year so that is quickly approaching so we had a brainstorming meeting that I needed to prepare for as well. With just getting back in town the beginning of the week and then having a much busier than usually week with church, I did not post as often. So here are some cute pictures that I did take this week, just never got around to posting.Aubrey really wanted to wear her hat to the pool for swim lessons. I thought it was cute her little eye poking out from under the hat. I got them on clearance last summer and am happy they fit.
Aubrey loves to wear her "baby suits". It is a common theme in these pictures. She wakes up asking to put one on.
Ethan usually stocks the drink fridge for us. For some reason he left some out and this is how we found Aubrey on Friday morning.
She put all the rest of them inside and closed the door all by herself. She was very proud.
Saturday the kids were playing in our little blow up pool and I decided to feed them lunch out on their playground. We have been meaning to this this since we got it, but this was the first time we did. They loved it. Bruster also enjoyed eating some of the macaroni and cheese that landed on the ground. Aubrey ended up dumping her plate over the other side ( I just knew that would happen) but luckily she did not have much left and she said she was done.

Ethan got a wooden house to put together for his birthday from Nana and Papa so Derek helped him do that this weekend. They also went to the movie today with Darren to see Speed Racer and had some good bonding time. Pretty soon he is going to have to take Aubrey to see Princess on Ice or something like that.

Swim Lessons

The kids took swim lessons at a local pool and Derek came by and took pictures during one of the lessons. I think we are going to join for the summer because the kids just love it. It has a really big kid pool for them to play in.
Mom gets to actually relax some by the pool and even read a little.




Aubrey likes to get all the toys and line them up along the side. She rarely gets in.

Play Date

On Monday we were able to meet up with my friend Chrystal from college. We have enjoyed keeping in touch through our blogs and we were able to go over to her house and play with her daughter Savannah. We ended our time together at Chick-Fil-A. We enjoyed spending time with them before heading back home on Tuesday.

Bojangles and The Lamberts

Thursday morning we walked to the Bojangles that they built by Nana and Papa's house. Ethan was very excited to do this.


The Lamberts came to Concord and we had lunch with them and then spent time at the park. It was great to see them.

They brought the kids some presents for their birthdays. Aubrey got a bigger version of Polly Pockets and she loved it.

Aubrey chose to eat out of the carton instead of what was on her plate - smart girl!

Aubrey loves shoes - here she is wearing Nana's. I love the laughing.

Aubrey loved the big slide, but could not quite climb up. We figured out that if we sat in the middle we could help her up. Here Aunt Joy is on duty.

We made to into Concord around lunch time on Wednesday. I spent some time shopping. Children's Place had a great deal on shoes for Ethan. We went to Chuck E. Cheese that night for Ethan's birthday. We went back to the house for cake and ice cream and presents. I am using Keith's computer and can not figure out how to move the pictures around so they are a little out of order.
