Memorial Day!

Look who’s 5!!

 

There was a lot of birthday fun to be had this year :)  First up was a package all the way from Australia from good friends Harry, Will, and Sam.  Thanks mates!  I love my new Aussie swim shirt and trunks as you can see  in the next picture :)  Goes nicely with my swim cap don’t you think?? LOL

Grandma Lynne brought over an “awesome” Batcave – I think she loved playing with it as much as I did!

Then my birthday party at the park.  It was so much fun having my family and friends there to celebrate with me!

 

Even Ethan got in on the festivities :)  What’s with the protective cloth Aunt Jenn – not afraid of a little spit up are you?????

Party at school with my classmates :)

Andrew, David, and Christopher – some of my best buddies :)

One handsome 5 year old – mommies words, not mine :)

April Happenings

 

Cowboy day at school :)

Mommy is trying not to worry about where the snake is that shed this skin :)

Ethan’s first time in his crib -  He loves it!  and Andrew loves finally having his baby brother in his room :)

  

Easter smiles :)

Ethan loves bathtime – especially in his new bathtub!

Finalization

Just some random pics from the finalization hearing.  The hearing went great if you don’t count my sobbing my way through the questions, good thing they were mostly yes and no answers. Oh and then the part where the Judge asked Andrew if he wanted Ethan to be his brother…. yea, no comment on what Andrew’s answer was!  Never mind that he’s been playing with Ethan, wanting to hold him all the time, smiling at him, laughing with him, tickling him……. did I mention he thinks it rather funny to say the opposite of what he means?

“G” is for….

Grandparents Day at school

Catching Up

Apparently construction is hard work

and so is saving money :)

These Crocs were made for walking……

and these fingers were made for? 

Thank you for the food we eat,
Thank you for the world so sweet,
Thank you for the birds that sing,
Thank you God for everything. Amen.
