bubble-blowing selfie

Thanks to Nana's help and watching a YouTube video, Grayson has mastered blowing bubbles with his gum. I've seen it in person, but just realized that he'd made a video of himself using my phone. Enjoy...

swimming and snow cones

Our summer is off to a good start! We have been enjoying morning walks and bike rides, Grayson has started swim team, we've made a few trips to the library for new books, Grayson is gearing up for a big soccer tournament, and Carter has visited his pre-K teacher who also owns a snow cone stand! And it's only the beginning of June... :)

 here are the boys at our neighborhood pool

Carter and Mrs. Waite at "Summer Snow" -- she made him a yummy rainbow snow cone and he loved it!

the last day of school

 We are so thankful for a great 3rd grade and Pre-K year this year!! Grayson and Carter were both blessed with wonderful teachers -- Mrs. Hedstrom, Mrs. Waite, and Mrs. McKay. We wish they'd considering moving up to 4th grade and Kindergarten. :)

G and C with buddies after pick-up on the very last day! 

Happy Summer!!

Thanks to AL for coming to so many games this spring! (And to Nana and Gramps, too!!)

carter's field day

Carter had a super-fun Field Day last Friday. He was so excited!! Nana was his cheerleader, as I was at work that day, and she also got some great pics from their morning together!

let's go fishing!

The boys have been begging to go fishing at one of the ponds in our neighborhood. Jerry picked up a container of nightcrawlers (eww!) and we took the boys last night, after dinner. It was overcast and slightly cool outside... a great night to catch some fish!
