my sweetie...

   

I take so many photos with my phone now but one morning Adalyn and I were just relaxing on the porch while the guys were outside so I got out my camera and snapped some photos of my little cutie. 

She loves the sounds of the birds and that morning they were singing so loudly, it was very neat!

Boy do I love this kid! :)

last day of school

Luke's last day of preschool was last Friday. I really cannot believe how fast the year went. 

We were invited into the classroom for a little presentation, the kiddos sang and danced to three songs for us, we got to watch a slideshow of the year and take home all the cool Journals and workbooks they had made throughout the year. To say Luke has amazing teachers this year is an understatement, we felt so very lucky Luke had such a great year. 

After school we headed to the park with Luke's class to start the summer with a picnic! It was a fun day. 

I'm not really sure what was harder on me the first day or the last. :'(

First Day of School Photos. :)

movie night at Jack Trice with the family and a picnic at the bandshell before. 

we met Greg for lunch one day and thought we would stop and get a hot dog, but no, it was only for photos, a little strange but we got a photo anyway. 

adalyn loves to color.

mother's day

A family photo for mother's day! :)

My sweeties!! 

I was invited to Luke's classroom for a Mother's Day surprise the Friday before Mother's Day. It was very special and I was quite emotional about it. :) He had been talking about it for weeks but told me he couldn't tell me about it. I would hear him whispering little things to Ethan here and there but not enough to know what he had planned. 

When I got to his classroom Luke and his classmates were standing at their chairs with their sweet little flower arrangement that they made, then the kids picked out our bagels and cream cheese from Panera and poured our drinks and cleaned up after us. It was all very sweet. 

Visiting Gramma for a fun Mother's Day lunch. 

Greg, Uncle Scott, Luke and Cousin Holden were out jumping on the trampoline, playing break the egg. They were having so much fun, it was pretty cool to capture the moment and the videos are even better. :)

Supper at Hickory Park with Nana to end a great Mother's Day!

Pella Tulip Festival

We had a great day at the tulip festival a couple of weekends ago. 

Luke's not in the photos cause he was with Nana & Papa. 

random....

Playtime at the Library. 

They got some new legos which the boys thought were fun.

 Adalyn was so cute she kept pointing to the story time door confused why we weren't going in.

We had kindergarten roundup with Luke a couple of weeks ago. He was a little nervous but it was a short visit and he got to listen to a story while we watched a presentation. Then we got to visit a kindergarten classroom. Ask me what I really think of all this kindergarten stuff...I think I would keep my little Luke in preschool forever if possible, I just love preschool and so does Luke but I was nervous for that too though so maybe it will all be alright. :)

Ethan and I went to Sesame Street Live with cousins Marshall and Miles. :)

Luke and I did a painting class. It was a fun night out.

Playtime at the Park. Luke was off playing with a friend. 

Garage sale find. The boys love Luke's new bed tent.
