Pet Day

It was Kindergarten Pet Day again, and I have to say I am getting wiser in my old age. I don't know if any of you remember last year's Pet Day? If you don't, click here. It is worth reading. Anything associated with dog urine, a Mother's foot and Kindergarten makes for a good laugh! This year went a lot smoother to say the least.

Preston decided (with a little coaxing) to take his fish that live at the farm in the cows water troth. (Perfect pet by the way, no feeding, cleaning, or changing water. Just go visit them whenever you remember they are alive!) I call the fish at the farm a mom's best friend. Anyway, Gavin took Preston down and caught the fish before school, I put them in a container (with help from Grandpa) and ran them up to the school. They sat quietly on the picnic table while we waited for our turn. Preston showed his class, I took a picture, and bam we were done! I then took the nice fish back to the farm where they live happily ever after. It was a good day for Preston and MOM this year. Whoo hoo! :)

Only Memories

The Sliderzz played in the President Day Tournament last weekend. Landon was so excited to play on Friday and Saturday which meant he was able to miss a day of school! They made it to the Championship game and ended up beating a team from Las Vegas for the Championship! 

Now all we have are the memories from that great weekend. Memories that I know will last 11 little boys a lifetime. There aren't many things better than a hard fought battle and coming out victorious! It was so fun to be apart of.

 Hope this weekend is filled with a good memories for you too! 

Preston is SIX!

I can hardly believe that this boy is six.  I know I always say where is the time going, but dang, where is the time going?  It seems like I just brought him home from the hospital, I was a nervous wreck trying to figure out how to handle two little boys.  He was a really good baby, and made having two so much easier than I had anticipated.  He has always been the peacemaker in our family.  He does whine a little more than he should, but I still love him.  He really is growing up to be a great boy. Happy Birthday Preston! We love you so much!

When he woke up on Thursday morning, you would have though it was Christmas.  He could hardly believe it was his Birthday Party Day!  We went to Laser Mania rode the bumper cars and played a game of laser tag. It was great. Then on Friday night we had pizza/cake for the family.  He received lots of Spy Gear, Bakugon's, a "Lap Top," Tech Decks, money and more! He loved everything. Thanks to everyone for making Preston's day so special. 

 Now I will leave you with a few words from Preston...  "Mom, I am really is going to miss being five." 

As I think about it, I am also going to miss that five year old boy, but I can already tell six is going to be amazing!

Valentines

It has been a busy week! Volunteering at the school on Monday, playing with friends on Tuesday, helping with New Beginnings yesterday, Preston's friend birthday party TODAY! Then it is Sliderzz ball games and a family party tomorrow! Oh, and don't forget birthday treats and parties at school! Isn't life fun?! I think so, especially since I was able to make these Valentine's this week! I can't believe how easy these turned out to be. I put three on a 4x6 and then uploaded them to Walgreens, when I picked them up I grabbed a few blow pops. Put them together last night and we were done! The boys had fun helping me put them together, I love that they could do it without me having to redo it after they left the room. Gotta love simplicity. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Difference Between Boys and Girls

Girls watch bubbles and giggle as they float away.

Boys eat bubbles after they scare the girls off.

Boys chase bubbles at full speed and pretend they are aliens that are trying to invade the back yard. 

Then, they dive to the ground (creating grass stains on their clean school pants) and blow with all their might. Where are the girls you ask? In the house giving their baby a nap.

Everyday Life

My Photo a day seems to be working. I missed a few days, but that just shows my true personality, a little flaky! Now I am all caught up, I just need to get a picture for today. Maybe I will go take one of the Noodles Addie left for me to clean up all over my kitchen floor! :)

Happy Monday!

There is something about this Baseball Player and Coach that just brings a smile to my face, and even puts a few butterflies in my stomach. Hope your having a happy Monday, since I was able to edit this I am! :)
