Last day...

Last day as a Kindergartener.  You have grown so much this year Emmeric and even though we have had some struggles you had an amazing year.  Dad and I couldn't be more proud of your progress and of who you are. 

Last day of Pre-k

Max's last day of pre-k was today.  They had a little graduation ceremony and then a picnic lunch at the park. 

His teacher's Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. K.

His best drawing he made on the last day.  Beautiful grass, rainbow, clouds and Max and Mommy.

Class of 2028.

Baby

Nothing beats a clean baby, new white onesie, and a pink blankie.

Swing

The baby swing got hung in the front yard swing.  The boys are loving not only swinging in it but taking turns pushing Joanna. 

My Emmeric

I love this kid and am learning to appreciate his inability to stand still to even take one picture.  :)

So many cute clothes

She is like my own personal doll to dress and I love all her cute clothes.  It is true girls are more fun to dress. 

Max

He loves the camo.  :)

Everyday...almost

Everyday (almost) when we take Max to school he falls asleep in the van.  It is very sweet and I don't mind carrying him in to his bed.

Enabling Park-Altoona

Today, we stopped at a new park.  I see it from the road a lot and have wanted to check it out for awhile.  It was awesome. It is a community garden full of plants, vegetables, flowers, water, birdhouses, cool art sculptures and a perfect place to run around after school.  

Cool birdhouses.

Joanna & I.  (she just sneezed) captured by Max.

Our growing girl!

My Handsome 3.  They absolutely loved to run around all the different paths.  

He jumped and fell but because the big boys did it he had to also.  

The garden really honors veterans.  They have an Iraqi War and Korean War memorial.  I really liked this hand painted rock.

Close by is a little pond where we saw over 40 baby ducks.  

Race Track

This morning we were racing and I got an idea to make our own track so ouy came the painters tape.  But you cant stop there, you need a ramp and a tunnel.  The boys love it and we will probably leave it up over the weekend.

Joanna is working the pits.

Toby and Max racing.

Mother's Day 2014

My four beautiful children along with the sweet cards and presents I received.  I am a lucky Mom and at times take for granted my kids, situation and life but I know I am blessed and so grateful for all that I have. 

Sweetheart

This little boy is so sweet.  He is constantly picking me dandelion bouquets for my kitchen table.  

Together

On Sunday Ed & I spent 7 hours in the car together attending the 70th Jubilee of my Great Aunt Sister Dolores.  Not only was the day fun but it was great to spend time one on one and talk without lots of little people around.  

Outside time

This baby spent the afternoon outside with her brothers and Daddy while Mommy went out for awhile.  She likes the grass and everything the big outdoors has to offer.  The boys are also learning to "watch" her which includes staying with her until the next shift comes.  :)

Buddies

These two are becoming good buddies.  Toby will do about anything for Joanna and will even say "this my baby" if the other boys get to close when he is feeling possessive.
