Kindergarten, check!

Boston graduated from Kindergarten this week. We are so excited for him to go to 1st grade.

I love this picture, it looks like he is contemplating his next move.

Ms. Lingmann has helped Boston so much this year. At the beginning of the year, Boston would come home with a "naughty note" a lot. She really put some extra effort into helping Boston learn to raise his hand, wait his turn, and not just yell out the answer. Thanks Ms. Lingmann

Boston actually was a little sad when we talked about it being his last day of Kindergarten. He got a little teary eyed and sad, and told me he didn't want to leave Kindergarten, that he loves it. But after a little talk, he is stoked to go to 1st grade. Jaegan I think is going to hate having Boston gone all day, but he will get use to it.

Good Luck Boston!!!

Jae's Graduation

Jaegan "graduated" from preschool last week. He has loved going to school and has learned so much. Thanks Ms. Amber!

Jae, Ms. Amber and Boston
Teacher and studentBoston went to Ms. Amber's preschool too, doesn't he look proud of Jaegan?Its official!

Jaegan on his first day of schoolJae on his last day of school. I cant believe how much he has grown!
He is so excited to have to summer off to sleep in, swim, ride his bike, do all the fun things that little boys do, but he is looking forward to going back to Ms. Amber's preschool next year.

Way to go Jae! We love you

I love these faces

I wish you could see this picture better. I ran into the store and left the boys in the car with some super yummy cinnamon raisin buscits. When I got back into the car, all three had frosting all over their faces. It was so cute.
PS. You have got to try them, you get them at Carl's Jr. Delish!

Ssshhh, dont tell Ben

We went to the Carl Bloch art exhibit in Provo and on the way home, I got the best video of one of Ben's hidden talents. He told me he better not find this on facebook, but this isnt facebook, right?!

Ellcie is going to have the best daddy!

My Master

Hurray! Ben did it. He is finally done! ( not officially, but who is keeping track).

Friday Ben graduated from the U with his MBA!

We could not be more proud of him.

Thanks goodness Ben's parents were there to help keep the boys busy during the ceremony. It was so long!

We are so excited to actually see Ben again.

Don't they look so proud of their daddy!



So he graduated but actually has another 10 weeks of school left. It should go by fast and we'll take 10 weeks over 2 years. Ben has worked so hard and we have really missed him. I am working on a video of all the things that have gone on in the past 2 years. To come shortly.

I can not say enough of how proud we are of him. We love you daddy!

April Showers Bring May Flowers?

So much went on in April, I decided to just blog about the whole month rather than each thing. Sorry, I'm lazy!

First and most exciting, Boston turned 6!!!! I cant believe it, he is not a little kid anymore. I don't know what he is but not little. It makes me so sad. When they are 5, they are still babies to me. Now that he is 6 there is no stopping him. We let him take 2 friends and go play laser tag ( see a baby would not play Lazar tag) They had a blast.

We also had a little scare with Jae-pants, he hurt his hip a few months back and had been complaining about his groin hurting, we thought he had pulled a muscle, but the Dr decided it was his hips that hurt and ordered x-rays and blood work, just to make sure it was nothing serious. Even though we knew it was nothing, the thought still scares you to think, maybe. There are 2 families in our neighborhood that have young family members with cancer and Ben's sweet little 2 yr old cousin is going through chemo right now, so the thought was there. We were so glad when everything came back fine. Just aggravated his sore hip. That's what happens when you jump off everything, I guess.

Boston went on his first field trip for school. We went to the landfill and saw what happens and talked about recycling. That is what his kindergarten class has been focusing on this year. Then we headed for Thanksgiving point to see the animals and pick up the eggs that would be hatching in their class. It was pouring all day and we all got soaked, it was still fun to go and spend the whole day with him. I think their favorite part was the bus ride though.

Easter also was a big event, not so much at our house, but at the Grandparents. Each had a huge hunt and spoiled all the kids. They had a blast. The Easter bunny did come to our house, but like I said, "she" has been very lazy lately and didn't do to much. Also the picture of Ben and I, my neck really was like that. I must have slept wrong and could not move for about 3 days. Ben was my hero, and took great care of me. I literally could not move and he had to bathe me, get me dressed, do my hair and move me. I figure it gives him good practice for after my c-section. Luckily after about a week, I can finally move again, and don't have to rely on Boston to tell me if it is safe to back up.

April even had a few sunny days and the boys had to get outside. Im so ready for some warm weather.

Piano Recital

Last night Boston played in his first piano recital. We were so proud of him.

He has been taking lessons for about a month and he loves it. Every time we ask him to practice, he jumps right up and plays. Jaegan, of course, does what ever Boston is doing and has learned to play part of this song to. Its not really a song, just a little ditty has has to practice. Today however at his lesson, he learned to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. If you listen close, that is what this practice is teaching him.

We are so proud of him, he did great!

Oh yeah, he starts to play and then decided to play a different song, that is why he stops.
